Little things you are pleased with this year

I paid off 6k of my debt and decided to treat myself to a Netflix subscription (I considered it a luxury before). Well I've watched so many good TV shows this year on it and given up the boring soaps. I'm so pleased with my purchase! What little thing have you done this year that you are pleased with?

That the hotel was so bad we came home.

A pack of dry wipe pens and some dry wipe magnet boards.

Silly I know, but now I've accepted that I'm not capable of making a mental note of things (ADD), I can write on shiny surfaces around the house to make notes.

I don't have to keep trying to find paper.

I'm forgetting fewer things.

Glass carafes to store tap water in the fridge. For ages I wanted to stop buying bottled water and adding to the plastic waste mountain but some of the family wouldn't drink tap water straight from the tap, only cold from the fridge. Should have bought them years ago.

My dd loved her presents and I loved mine. I got lots of lovely textured things to wear that are soft and cuddly!

My ds16 with socail anxiety going out on his first trip alone to the cinema with his mates. Him coming to see my mum miles away for the first time in years. Really hoping he is coming out of a dark place and starting to enjoy life more with less anxiety

The progress that DS2 (13 and autistic) has made this year. After watching DH and me pull christmas crackers, he asked to pull one, himself. One of the "gifts" was a useless little set of plastic badminton racquets and shuttlecock that he called "ping pong" and tried to play with appropriately. I put a few cheap nursery rhyme books from the works in with his presents and he sat and read some of them to us. He's still incredibly challenging, if not more so than ever, but we're enjoying that he's no longer oblivious to the world around him.

A few things:

Finally found a gym programme I actually enjoy and lost 10kg since September (defo our at least 3 back on today )

Cleared most of my debt

Got a new job and the relief is unbelievable

We live in the Middle East and got a tv box thingy and I can watch UK tv so I've managed to watch all of strictly and all the Xmas tv over the past few days- feels more homely!
