Clearing a filing cabinet drawer is a great success, to my mind @Dimity . Well done.
Yes, the ground is so dry. I just watered and got exhausted, so have come in to lie down for a while.

How are you feeling today, @Dimity ?
Do you want to clean / tidy with me today? (You also do decluttering, which I'm not at yet)
I've done one hour on general chores all over the house. Now taking a short break.

Hi @NatureLover I'm off to a very late start with a tummy upset. Well done on your efforts so far. Yes I'll try to tidy with you. I may have a visitor tomorrow so I'll have to make an effort.

Sorry about your tummy upset 😣
Thanks for tidying with me. Will you tackle just what's most urgent for your visitor?
I'm struggling with my second hour so have stopped for lunch. But I managed to finish tidying the bedroom.
Next is watering (not included) plus more laundry.
Good luck, and I hope you feel much better quickly...

@NatureLover I still haven't started... I'll do my exercises and start.

I know you prefer to work in the afternoon / evenings / at night @Dimity . Whereas I don't usually intend to work past about 4pm!
How is your tummy now?
I am struggling...I only just finished my second hour now (2.05pm). But I managed to clear the lounge-room floor of bags, and disinfect some library books.
Going to head straight into my third hour and see how far I get... 🤞
Good luck to you too.

Just finished my first hour @NatureLover which I spread across 3 rooms. Cleaning and a bit of sorting, so I have some stuff I'll put in recycling.
I'll get back to it after a short break.
You're doing well.

Well done, @Dimity !
I've come to a halt at 3.40pm. Am pretty tired. I worked solidly but can only add 30 minutes to my 2 hours of tidying today. I did other things like shave my legs and other things on my To Do list, but that I can't call "tidying or cleaning".
I need to sit down or lie down now for a while.
I'll check the forums later this afternoon / evening to see if you've checked in 🙂

2 1/2 hours is great @NatureLover . I did 1 1/2 but had to go shopping to feed my visitor tomorrow. I might get another 1/2 hr done this evening. I've partly cleared the kitchen table and dealt with more papers.

Did another 30 mins so 2 hrs today. Not a lot but the 6th day in a row I've done an hour or more, so I'm chipping away. Keeping up rather than progressing.
