Have just done 2 hours and am having a break. This is the danger time - I mustn't start reading!
Have done bedroom (which I normally keep fairly neat) and hallway (which is lined with shelving and had some stuff on the floor). Plus laundry, which I'm counting as tidying. Next up is lounge-room and/or bathroom, whichever looks easier 😄
How are you going? @Dimity

Good effort @NatureLover . For my second hour I'll do a bit more cleaning, including the bathroom, and tackle the kitchen table.

Thanks, @Dimity .
I'm not even cleaning yet, just tidying! Well done for cleaning.
It will help me to tackle my bathroom if I know you're doing yours.

It was just spot cleaning in the bathroom @NatureLover . I've tidied the kitchen table a bit. I've been catching up really rather than tackling the backlog. I'll take a break then try again.

Well done on tackling the kitchen table, @Dimity 🙂
I'm enjoying tidying with you - makes it much easier for me. Thank you so much.
Have just stopped for a late lunch after 1 hour 40 minutes on the lounge-room. Have cleared the floor totally, but not tidied the desk or vacuumed - those can wait for another day. (Desk tidying can wait for a day when I have less energy)
Catching up is all I'm doing too. Catching up to where I should be.
Good luck when you continue 🙂

Hi @Dimity , I've run out of puff after 4 hours 10 minutes. But I'm pleased with today, and I enjoyed tidying with you - thank you.
I didn't get to the bathroom in the end, but I cleared a couple of bags from the kitchen floor. Disinfecting as I went (all day).
How did you go this afternoon?

@NatureLover after my 2 hours I didn't know where to start on the proper decluttering and frittered away time on the phone. Then I went shopping. I'll try this evening... I did want to do 3 hours.
