Subject: Let's tidy up it honey!
Jenny,
Our little house needs to be tied up as soon as possible. It has been about two weeks since we've done the housework. Today, I promised you to do my best to clean it before you come. But, unfortunately, I have to go out towards my office where a customer awaits me to do a great business. You know, I need to do everything for my customers, because I promised to my boss to do well in the company selling's rank along this year. Last year, company's profit did badly. We can divide the house works between you and me so that it doesn't get heavy for none of us. Maybe you prefer to do the laundry and do the shopping . I can do the dishes and do the cooking. I hope you can get home early, since aunt Veronika will arrive from Russia this afternoon bringing our new pet. Maybe we'll have to do some extra work. If you want you can do your hair and do your nails because time is completely enough to do that before aunt Veronika arrives. I'm considering do some physical exercise around the park near to our home before working. I woke up feeling a bit queasy today! But, please do me a favour to go to the Gibson's grocery store and buy some apples and make a delicious pie for dinner.

Or: "About two weeks have passed since we last did the housework."
Interesting sentence!
Thanks for trying this week's writing prompt! You found many ways to use "do" in this letter.
This sentence has a few problems: "It takes about 2 weeks we don't do the houseworks."
Here is a better way to write this: It has been about two weeks since we've done the housework.
Can you look at my changes, and figure out what was corrected, and why?
Nice work to do practice!
Nice Daniel! Sometimes i confuse the word "do" with the word "make".
