Chore Bingo

Postby Harriet » Mon Jul 30, 2018 7:36 am

Good Morning!

Challenges and TaDas in our Chore Bingo (day? week?) go here.

Come up with 15 chores on a square board 4x4 OR a list to check off, and jump in where you can.

We'll have 16 potential numbers that might be called, from one to sixteen BUT you can have a "free space" somewhere in your particular list or card, so that you're doing 15 chores and enjoying one freebie time in your "game".

I'll call the first random number at 8 a.m. EST unless cooler heads prevail :lol: .
The rest are at the WHIM of villagers :shock: .
Anybody can call them from then on, even if they're not playing ;) .
If you are playing and finished the last numeral's chore, you can call the next.



Called so far:
7
14
12
2
13
4
6
11
10
Free space for a bit!
3
5

After EST supper time
1
15
16
9
8 (I've put it in since it is the last number so obviously it is next.)

Listening for a 8,
and a second round!

And at exactly 7:59.30, the random number generator said

7

So jump right onto your chore number 7 when you can.

That's me in the kitchen, organizing drawers!

I'm off to do 7 now.

I had to rework my board (I had done 5 x 5 so had to ditch 9 chores from the list but needed to make sure I ditched the 'right' ones, no point ditches sweeping if mopping was still on the board.)

Dd just wrote to say I need to leave here at 9:30 so I have time for up to 5 rounds.

I'll have to catch up.

I had to do a random one first off, wrapping the gift to take to post office. Now I have to see if I can order a filter for the ice maker because it isn't making ice (I think it's ok but DH is having a fit over it) so that is first. I'll put that in my number 14 because I didn't make that many items.

Lol, Harmony. Works for me!

That gave me about 40 mins on the drawers that were bugging me.

14 sends me off to the bedroom to an OMM clutter pile that took up residence.

Jump back in later too, Kathryn.

Harmony: I'm worried the numbers won't come up in an efficient order to do the work.

And I have 11 extra chores to fill in my card when this one gets emptied!

For now, I've spent 15 minute doing charitable donations so that counts as #15 done.

I see Harriet is spending more than 15 on each item.... I'll only do that if it takes a minute or so extra. Otherwise, I'll walk away and put the chore back on the board when I clear this one.

I'll colourfully call the next number

12

But that one was quicker for me - they won't always be that way!

Okay, 12 is "Gather Books" for me (sounds quick, doesn't it? Ha! Let's see... ...)

Honestly, most of mine are going to take longer than 15.

Bedrooms vacuumed (plus I put away my hair straightener and hair dryer to get the cords out of the way, and I brushed my teeth and cleaned my sink and counter.)

My next (and last number for this round) is

2

Harriet: you'll catch up because you'll be working while I'm out. So I'll be following your numbers (or someone else's) when I get back.

Mine are taking way more than 20 minutes too. I discovered we had 2 filters around here somewhere already ordered. Big search and I found them in laundry room bin. Installed reading instructions. 14 done.

7 done cleaning out car, wiping out console and dash.

2 will take more than 15.
