Just getting caught up on this thread. My house is a tiny bit cleaner than it was - the BF has taken an interest in it not being such a disgusting mess, so maybe with two of us being kind of half interested in this, we'll get somewhere.
Singer, I hear you on the dishes - we were caught up for a few days, but now I think I am behind again. It always feels like such an accomplishment to be done with the dishes/laundry, but there's always more...
Angelique, I hope you can find someone to take the trash down for you.
Topiary, I do the same thing with the Goodwill boxes! It's really bad! I have had one box sitting underneath a table that I think I started two years ago. I try to just throw most stuff in the trash/recycling, because that gets picked up every week... but sometimes the stuff seems too nice.
Hankster, I hope you are recovered now - you must be caught up on laundry

Why is there always more????
