Went to bank. Went to office store to get new flash drive(s). Went to grocery store. Put away refrigerated and frozen groceries. Tested new flash drive. It does not fit, so I have to return them. Ordered new flash drives; should be available for pick-up tomorrow. Order gifts.

That's frustrating about the flash drives goldenthreads! Why can't there just be standard sizes for things like that! 2 x loads of washing done and hung Clean clothes away Washed some of the walls in the sitting room Shifted, dusted and organised TV cabinet and associated wires Vaccumed some places that have been long neglected Wiped out drawer in kitchen Lunch Fire going Keep working on TV cabinet area 'Encourage' G to do something productive Make a start on the kitchen

Laundry everywhere. I must take all winter bedding to get done tomorrow. Its not smelling fresh in here. It must be the laundry. I've been pushing it back for ages. Came home and washed the dishes Bought some new sheets but they are microfiber and not sure if they will be ok.i washed them in the tub to get the chemical smell off them.

That's frustrating about the flash drives goldenthreads ! Why can't there just be standard sizes for things like that! Well, it's a MacBook, and that's what Apple does. I think there's a data speed advantage to this that I don't care about. I bought an adapter cable when I got this laptop, which is supposed to enable you to plug in older USB flash drives, but it's poorly designed, and mine don't fit. So today I went in and got USB 3.1 flash drives, which I had thought was the same as USB-C. (I believe every USB-C/poodle is 3.1/dog, but not every 3.1/dog is USB-C/poodle.) The packaging hid the part that goes in or I would've seen that it was wrong. Thanks for the empathy, and stay toasty! Hi, oust . I continue to be surprised at how even just a few stale clothes in a hamper can continue to develop odors over time. Hope getting that laundry done takes care of the smell for you. Put away dry dishes. Put away the rest of the groceries. Dusted the living room. tomorrow Order gifts. Try on the new clothes that came today. Pick up the flash drives. Do a bunch of the weekly cleaning.

Hi all, From reading the thread you all seemed to have made a great start to July. I hope it is ok to join in, I am new to posting on the site ( after lurking for a while) and am feeling pretty determined to make progress in sorting out my very messy home. I do struggle with feeling over whelmed and trying to focus on the big picture too much so am interested in working in threes to keep myself moving and being proud of the steps to improvement (both big and small). I have a free day today with no other commitments and just writing this post is making me eager to get started. It is currently just after 11am in the UK, a late breakfast has been eaten ... so here is my first working in threes list. " Load up breakfast dishes into the dishwasher and turn it on Put on a load of laundry Fill up a rubbish bag with rubbish from the hallway and/ or kitchen Clean / wipe down fridge submit electrical & gas readings Fill 1 rubbish bag with trash put all laundry from hallway in the washing basket Clear and put away all out of places items on top of hallway dresser.
Take rubbish bags to the dumpster Do food shopping ( & put it away!)
hang up laundry on airer to dry start dinner off in the slow cooker Take off everything on shelves in hallway and dust, put all necessary items back neatly.

Hi all,I do struggle with feeling over whelmed and trying to focus on the big picture too much so am interested in working in threes to keep myself moving and being proud of the steps to improvement (both big and small). It's good to see you here! Yep, this is a great place to post. I sometimes find myself doing things just to be able to post. Not everyone here chooses to work in threes, and that's fine. I always do, because it is one of the few ways I manage to structure my life. Big, small--it's all useful progress. Hello from a just-getting-going area west of you, seahorse and mouseanne . Transferred the laundry to dryer and rack. Tried on the remaining new clothes. Started dishes soaking. Order gifts. Find a different branch of the store for the flash drives; someone beat me in the queue, apparently, and now it's on me again. Pick up the flash drives. Do a bunch of the weekly cleaning. Shower and dress.
