A new 'one (small) job a day' thread

Can't find an active one of these, which I found massively motivating in the past.
The idea is to try and tackle one job around the house every day and report back. Even a really small job counts, especially if it's been irritating you for a while.

I've just sorted out the drawers in the hall that we use for shoes, bags etc. Took about 15 mins. More crap to throw away than I'd expected and I found all the gloves that had gone awol.

Doing a massive clear out today and losing the will to live. Trying to get rid of all the old clothes, empty bottles, papers that no one needs.... how does all this pile up so?

Haven't updated for ages but washing machine has given up the ghost this week!!! Have had to do a trip to the launderette until I can get the washer man out to help find a replacement. (Integrated machine and a pain in the arse to fit due to the pipes behind it!)

You won't believe it, but my washing machine has also given out! It's expensive to fix so we are trying to get a cheaper quote. Piles of clothes everywhere and really annoying me.

Got rid of an old cat litter tray on my local buy nothing page
Cleaned the stove top, kettle & toaster
Treated roses for black spot and bugs
Swept outside and did the green recycling

Wow, I was on a roll today! I accomplished more than I thought.

Oh dear! We had ours repaired a few years ago so think we need to replace this time around. There is always something!
