Mid-February update. We …
- finished deep cleaning Zone 7 - our master bedroom,
- Finished deep cleaning Zone 6 - all our bathrooms,
- Had a discussion with Hubby about which Zone to work on next. He suggested we do the living room. I discovered it is not on my Zone charts! So another Zone will be added to my planner, but not my BINGO card (because there’s no room for it).
On the creative front, the banner is finished and in place!
However I took on a series of art mini-classes that happen twice a month via Zoom. While a great way to stay connected with people in the winter, it is hampering getting other things done.
That, plus it looks like I’m losing all my studio time in May to two different sets of company - a mutual close friend and one of Hubby’s relatives.
Plus, a phase of a project I was leaving to someone else to finish was done incorrectly, and needed to be taken out. I will have to redo it myself. More time not working on my 2026 Creative BINGO card. 
I’ll keep plugging away at things though. I doubt I’ll finish all my cards this year. I’ll be happy with a traditional BINGO!

Realized I forgot to create cleaning lists for some zones in the house…like living room, hallways, and Hubby’s office. Soooo…I had to change my BINGO card slightly. The bathrooms became zone 12 - they’re done. But Zones 6 (hallways & closet) and 13 (under stair storage) are incorporated with our front porch zone…which is very small.
I also forgot Zone 8 (the TV room). I added it to Zone 9 (utility room) because they’re right beside each other.
I left the office - zone 14 - off my BINGO card because it’s really up to Hubby to clean that mess up. I’ll help, but only under his direction. It’s just packed with stuff!
So…my revised BINGO card looks like this:

I’ve never done a bingo challenge where (not have I fully completed any challenges here in all my time to be honest) - do we update here along the way/throughout the year?

As much or as little as you want to!

Yes. I try and update monthly. Though normally I wouldn’t change my goals, but this was a totally honest oversight. The original intention was to have all the decluttering/deep cleaning on my BINGO card. Obviously, I screwed up!
I chalk it up to being slammed with offline activities over the holidays. I totally forgot where I was with my cleaning lists. I even had them printed out and in my planner.
It was Hubby’s desire to clean the living room next that alerted me to the fact I did not even have a cleaning list for it! I went through my planner to see what else was missing. I found three more zones. I am not impressed with myself!
I didn’t add squares or take away anything from the BINGO card. I think it’s important to stick to original goals where possible. I ended up adding to existing goals by tacking the new cleaning zones onto other related squares.
I hope that helps explain my thinking.

Ok I think I’m done!
This was hard! It was a challenge to balance my already established goals but make them work for a Bingo card and also hard for me to create more silly/easy/fun ones.
