Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

So many renters must feel insecure. I don't think it was adequately addressed in the election.

You've made a good start. 

I got several things done today. Still in catch-up mode. Very tired tonight. Not sure what to aim for tomorrow. I still have a list somewhere but there's always the clutter and garden. Doing something for fun or pleasure never seems quite possible. 

Cold night tonight. I'll have an early night.

Best wishes for tomorrow @NatureLover .

Thanks, @Dimity .

You're right, housing insecurity and homelessness was definitely not adequately addressed in the election 😥

Well done for getting some things done yesterday 👍

You're right about the relentlessness of the clutter 😥

I did 6 hours yesterday but still haven't completed Friday's list! So I'm more than a day behind schedule 😣 However I've finished all the outside work including the verandah and outside windows. 

It was indeed cold this morning. 

Good luck to us both today...

6 hours is a sterling effort @NatureLover . I don't know how realistic your list is but I guess it's dictated by the urgency. Well done on getting the outside done. 

I need to clean windows too. I can do the outside but am daunted by taking down flyscreens inside.

Hopefully the sunny weather will give you a boost. Good luck.

Thanks, @Dimity . Yes, the sunshine is giving me a boost. 

I'm just having a 10 minute break. Am doing some Sunday stuff off my list (having not finished Friday or Saturday's lists yet). 

I'm daunted by taking down flyscreens too. Haven't done the inside of the windows yet. 

I'm a bit sore as I'm unused to hard physical work. 

What do you think you'll do today? 

[Dimity]

I'm not sure @NatureLover . I'm a little confused by a message from Bunnings about a delivery.  I finally ordered the potting mix etc I should have ordered months ago. I'm partway through chores - still need to peg the washing and do the dishes. then will look around for more to do. 

[Dimity]

Hope you're going well if you see this today @NatureLover .

I've done 2 hours in the house and 40 mins of picking up street litter. I'll bring in the washing to air in the dryer then keep going.

[NatureLover]

You're on a roll! Well done! @Dimity 

I feel despondent - I've slipped even further behind and am now a day and a half behind schedule. 😣 I only did 4 hours 45 mins today. However I did do the vacuuming, plus finished scrubbing the shower which is my worst job. But I struggled all day. 

[Dimity]

@NatureLover I think you've done an outstanding job even if there's more on your list. I think you said you're taking tomorrow off so hopefully you'll get it all done.

I did another hour, making 3. I'm happy with that, as I collected the litter as well. I'm not making much visible progress. 

I was supposed to be implementing a new routine. I'll have another look at it.

[NatureLover]

Thanks for your kind words, @Dimity . I think you've done an outstanding job too. 

I feel OK this morning - I always feel more hopeful first thing in the morning, then it goes downhill! Is it the opposite for you? 

I do have a huge list of tasks to do today so am hoping I'm up to it. Yes, am definitely taking today off work! 

Good luck implementing your routine. It sounds like you worked one out? Well done. 

[Dimity]

Sending a cheerio @NatureLover . Hope it's getting easier now you've done most of the work.

No I think I actually feel worst at night - very keyed up and anxious around what should be bedtime. I think I'm most productive during the afternoon.

I'm waiting on my delivery and have done some cleaning and decluttering.
