I'm pretty much on top of everything apart from housework which hasn't been done for about Five months 
There's barely a square inch of uncluttered space. Haven't even changed my bed linen. Everything is dusty.
I may do it tomorrow or, the day after or, this weekend possibly. Unlikely.
The bathroom looks a bit sordid mind. I'll do that before I next get a surprise visit from someone I'm keen to impress. Or, maybe they'll do it for me

I fix the machines that fight climate change
Stripping, filling, sanding and repainting the 3-sided conservatory wooden windowframes and outer door (putting it off since we moved in 4 years ago)
Redecorating living room (likewise)
Redecorating both bedrooms upstairs which got damaged by damp when the roof had a leak (4 monthsish)
Replacing tatty and slightly mouldy bathroom blind (years)
HOWEVER I don't feel too bad as this summer I have managed to strip, fill, sand and paint all outside windowframes apart from conservatory ones (so that's 8 separate ones) and the front door, all got undercoat and 2-3 coats of gloss, and I've painted a low boundary wall too. So I don't feel completely lazy.

Putting up two shelves in my daughter's room (about a month - but partly because I can't decide whether they should actually go in there or elsewhere).
Clearing out the kitchen drawers.
I have a few other things I need/want to do (like decorate the bathroom), but I'm not putting them off exactly; they're things I'll do when I have more time and money.
