What have you achieved today, no matter how small?

[Bluewavescrashing]

Feeling drained, anxious, sad and exhausted today. But so far I have managed to

Get out of bed, feed the children and pets

Have a bath and get the DCs washed and dressed

Put a wash on

Sat outside for a bit having a cuppa and listened to the birds

My mental health is shot to pieces so I'm celebrating the very small wins today.

Cut my husband's hair.

Fortunately it grows quickly.

He has forgiven me.

Ignored nex when he came to my door harassing me, yesterday he tried to,get in through an open window, answered calmly his angry sounding email. Even thoug it has left me exhausted, I'm proud of myself

Soon I will drink wine and eat ice cream

I had to do something that I have been putting off for a couple of months. My fridge freezer has broken down, and will have to get a new one now. So thought I would clean the old fridge up a bit,for when it has to be taken away. I just had to pull the fridge out of it's place to clean the area, knowing full well, that there is a dead mouse behind it.

One of my cats brought the mouse in, which kept running back and forth in the kitchen, and myself or the cats, could not catch it. It finally went behind the fridge. The cats got fed up with waiting for the mouse anymore, so the mouse may have had a heart attack, and died behind the fridge. I am blaming the mouse for breaking my fridge now.!

Wow, well done flabby, you should be so proud!
Stay strong x

DH has just pulled a 4mm long shard of glass from my foot ! I've been moaning about a pain in my foot all day. He looked to see what I was whinging about, now he's in awe I managed all day on my feet with it. Right now I feel I've achieved a pain free state !

Ouch @wehaveafloater wonder how you trod on that!!

Relatively unproductive day today. Short walk into town for a few bits. Some more shops reopening (butchers and bakers.)

Managed to get a load of washing dry in between small rain showers.

Another fairly productive day here;

Kitchen lightshade up
Second coat of paint on door
Sealant replaced on other side of kitchen
Spice rack I like ordered & I've found some art work on Pinterest I want to try and recreate for over the table.

Door needs a third coat but think I'll do that tomorrow.

Still need to pay online bills and have a look for something to do with the mis-matched kitchen tiles :)

Done quite well here today.
Bootcamp (in the living room because of the wind and rain showers)
Laundry - One load done and pegged out very firmly!
Hoovered
Spot of weeding
Ordered a Chinese to be delivered for tea.

Failed at fixing ds1’s phone which had gone really odd but ds2 managed to do it!!

Up, showered, dressed and make up.

Packaged and posted something I'd sold on eBay.

Washed our bedding and pegged it out.

Hoovered the stairs and all of downstairs.

Emptied all the bins upstairs and put new bin bags in them.

Folded and put away some laundry.

I plucked up the courage to weigh myself, I weigh a stone more than my estimate so I wallowed for a bit in self pity but then went for a little jog. Burned 200 calories and feel more positive now.

I also feigned interest in DD's highly tedious computer game and looked convincing.

Cleaned up monumental mess in the kitchen after DH cooked lunch. It took 40 mins but it's done!

Showered
Been shopping
Washed up
Been for a long walk to de stress
Not bad for today

I ran 10 miles but I have done absolutely nothing since.

Got up, let dog out, had breakfast
Showered and dressed
Hoovered downstairs
Did a load of laundry and pegged out
Did a module of my SEN diploma
Walked dog
Cleaned out and cuddled guinea pig
Finished my book

Doesn't look too bad to me. DD said I"m lazy!

I have managed to get through the day with a lunatic toddler.
Breakfast, lunch and tea sorted for her and DP who was on a long day at work. Did cleaning and pot washing as I went but nothing major.
I have a feeling tomorrow will be much of the same.

Organised the shelves in my study. Got rid of three bins worth of stuff that I have been keeping "in case it comes in handy" for a job I resigned from over five years ago now.

Cut DD1s hair. Cleaned kitchen. Smelled the rain.

Convinced elderly father that he almost certainly has constipation and nothing more sinister. Did a bit of research in case I'm wrong.

Sorted out the famous kitchen drawer of doom and now have a pile of household filing for tomorrow 😄
Had a 2 1/2 hour phone call with a friend
And fed my two, 3 week old, rescue pups 5 times. Weaning now 😄 and waiting for the last feed of the day

This is what I did yesterday:

2 loads of washing
Wiped down the kitchen counters
Cleaned the bathroom
Changed the sheets
Had an afternoon snooze
Ate too much chocolate and crisps

Today I will be:

Going for a walk
Reading via kindle
Trying not to eat too much
Wondering whether to dye my hair

Morning all.

Yesterday I did two loads of washing - all towels.

Vacuumed and washed the utility room, kitchen and dining and sitting area floors.

That was about it!

Today’s plan is to do a shopping list based on the diet I’m starting tomorrow and go to the supermarket.

One load of washing. And I need to clean the kitchen counter tops.

Read my book.

I am going to clear the sideboard- it's become a lockdown dumping ground and the piles are now almost high enough to be visible on work video calls.

I’ve just stripped one wall of wallpaper out the kitchen. I’m immensely proud of myself. One wall is enough now though, I need to sit on the sofa for the rest of the day to recover!

Got up, had breakfast, walked the dog, signed a petition to sack Dominic Cummings.

Not a lot today; load of washing & put microwave up on brackets but think it should be on the other wall.

I'm going to put the 3rd coat on that door now.

Much more productive today than yesterday.
Long lie in and read book in bed first though!

Stripped and changed bedding. 2 loads laundry. Bunnies on lawn and cleaned them out. Read book for a bit.
Made apricot chelsea buns. Emptied bins and cleaned out fridge. Washed up the decorating stuff now I don't need the dregs of the paint.

Washed the kitchen and living room windows inside and out.

Phew.
Will do a pub quiz with work friends later this evening, with a drink in hand and a chelsea bun!
