Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Well done @NatureLover 

I've done 1 1/2 hours, mainly keeping up with cleaning. I'd better shop for milk etc then will try for more decluttering later.

When I was working I never seemed able to keep up with washing up. Or any housework really. 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Well done 👏 

 

I ended up doing 4.5 hours (was aiming for 5 hours), but I stop at 5pm lol. 

 

I finished the washing up and cleared the small kitchen bench, and cleaned the bathroom basin. Plus cleared about 7 bags from the floor, plus 2 loads of laundry. Those were the goals for today so I feel pleased. 

 

Thank you for helping motivate me! 

 

Good luck with your decluttering this evening 🙂

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

That's great @NatureLover . A lot of bags cleared.

I just got back from shopping. Now to unpack. I bought more than I planned as I noticed some products on special.

I'll try for some decluttering after dinner.

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Thanks.

 

I do that too, when things are on special.

 

Hope your decluttering goes well...

How'd you go last night, @Dimity ? 

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

I tried to sort some papers @NatureLover but didn't get very far. Later I had a rare phone call speaking to an old friend, so the evening improved. 

Today I saw my therapist... I'm going to work on building a good daily routine. 

I hope your day was OK.

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

That's great your old friend rang  @Dimity . Also that your therapist left you with some homework to do 👍

 

I had a good day at work, and today I have my psychologist appt plus some errands. 

 

Cold overnights at the moment, but I'm loving the sunny days. 

 

Good luck as you start to build your daily routine. I hope you can build it around being a night owl and not try to get up too early! 😄

hello @NatureLover , @Dimity 

how are you today 

 

I was going through some photo frames and found 2 photos in one frame

Hello @Shaz51 @NatureLover 

I hope your day went well.

I managed to do 3 hours of cleaning and tidying today. Still just catching up really. 

I took down my photos a while back. Most of them were people I'm estranged from and some of the rest were people who've passed.

Three hours @Dimity that’s great. Was that one big hit? I have little breaks to rest or do something else. Sometimes I can do a “slab” of time on chores.
