Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

will be thinking of you @Dimity

not sure about inside my throat , but it always feels like something is always stuck there , i try swallowing all the time or drinking lots of water to wash it away but nothing happens

Glad you're getting it checked @Shaz51 . A couple of my family had problems too.

Hope you achieved what you'd hoped today @NatureLover .

I slept very late (again) and didn't get through everything. It was lovely seeing @Shaz51 today.

I'm not sure how best to utilise the shelfspace I've freed up in some cupboards. I might have to move stuff around.

How lovely to have free shelf space, @Dimity ! Well done.

Good luck with your CT scan this week.

Eeuurrgghhh...I didn't achieve anything yesterday, not even pruning the roses. Want to clean / tidy / declutter with me today?

Hello @NatureLover yes I'm happy to have a go. I don't really know what to do so will start with chores.

Good luck!

That's great! Thanks. Only I've let the team down by 1) going out for errands, 2) cooking up a huge pasta dish according to instructions on a Facebook cooking post, and 3) exhausting myself!

I only cook a few times a year, so it's a big deal. The meal was a success, but now the kitchen is so messy and I haven't even done my daily tasks! Oh dear.

I'm determined to prune the roses today, evwn if I do nothing else.

How are you going with your chores?

@Dimity 

Well done for cooking @NatureLover - perhaps try to wash up before too long?

I think I'll have another look at my roses too.

I've done some chores and decluttering for 2 hours, including discarding some study materials from several decades ago. I'll exercise next, and maybe think of what to tackle after that.

Well done, @Dimity ! 2 hours is great. 🙂

It's a lovely day for walking, if you decide to do that.

I spent ages crafting a reply to my brother after he emailed me today. Our relationship hasn't been the best the last 2 years after he got mad at me. We haven't really been talking, so I felt the email reply was important, to show how willing I am to resume contact.

Now I am definitley going out to prune the roses! (4pm)

I pruned the roses! Only 6 weeks too late! @Dimity

Big achievements re communicating with your brother and pruning. But it wasn't too late, one of my family always prunes his roses in August and offered to do mine last week... but I'd already tried.

I've done 3 hrs around the house as well as picking up street litter for 45 mins and doing my prescribed exercises. I'm tired and sore, and triggered by the files I was going through. Overwhelmed too. I'm airing the laundry in the dryer and will try to do more after dinner... it will be the most I've done in a day.
