Things you've done recently you're proud of

[dontevenblink]

I thought it would be great to read about some of the positive things mumsnetters have done recently.

I'll start with I auditioned yesterday for a musical! I've always loved singing (and do all the time so my dc now think its perfectly normal for someone to just burst into song ) but ive also always been shy and lack self esteem, so every time I saw a musical I thought about how I would love to be in it but then thought no, I won't be good enough, or I'll mess up, so didn't go. This has been the same since I left uni about 16 years ago.

Anyway, my daughter is now in musicals and I've been encouraging her to audition, and I thought actually, I can sing and it may be scary but I should just do it, and not expect my dc to do something I'm too scared to do myself. So yesterday I did! I was very nervous and I think my voice shook something chronic so I couldn't get the volume I think they want, but I sang in front of a panel of 5 and I didn't mess it up 😀 I'm just so proud I got over that first hurdle, and although I don't think I'll make it into this one, it has given me the confidence to try again, and I will do.

So share with me yours 😀

Ahh well done OP! Bet that took some guts. You never know, you could get into it! I’m hoping to go and see some sort of musical before Christmas.

I ran my first 10-minute mile today, so I’m proud of that

Used my first aid skills to help someone and to get them to proper help more quickly.

Thanks pj! It is Les Miserables and as I've seen that a hundred times I'd love to be in it. May be aiming a bit high though for a first time haha.

Well done on the 10 minute mile! DH is really into running and I keep thinking I should start, but I'm more a walking our dog up hills kind of exercise 😁

Awesome purple!
