A grown out fringe (which I actually like) and about 5 extra pounds in weight

What small things has it given you? Lighthearted please! Smile

A dislike (but necessity) for running. And pink hair which desperately needs some professional attention. A desire for time and space on my own which is not being realised.

Massive increase in work stress.

New and very luxurious garden furniture courtesy of overtime and work stress making my impulsive. Worth every penny but would rather not be working such long hours.

Better sleep.
A few extra pounds in weight.
A Fitbit which tells me that rather than doing 10000 steps daily I'm struggling to achieve 1000 Blush
Done far more gardening, crafting and reading than I've ever spared time for before lockdown.

A stone in weight loss purely due to walking briskly for an hour each day (I usually have a very sedentary job so little time for basic exercise during the week). Literally the only time I have lost weight in my life without starvation. Lack of eating out has also helped although I am eating plenty at home.
I don’t need to straighten my hair each day. Just give it a brush and tie it back. It’s breaking off much less.
I have to wear a bit of make up around the house otherwise I get upset when I go to the loo and see myself in the mirror.
