What Have You Done Today?

[hotchocolatey]

Hi all. I thought I'd start a thread for those who are finding it tough going at the moment. The idea is to write about anything positive you have done .... a walk, bought yourself some flowers, went to the park with your kids etc.

Please also feel free to say if you've had a tough day as well if you need to let off steam.

Had a bit of a lie in this morning. I ate far too much chocolate yesterday but I had a healthy breakfast and I am determined to not put on any more weight. I am not over weight by the way but would like to lose a couple of kilos.

About to go for a walk which will do me good.

How is your Sunday going?

Up to now ?

I have soup in the slow cooker for work this week which I put on earlier, and we are now watching Sunday Brunch.
How exciting eh🙄😂.
Not sure about the rest of the day....

Stood outside for 2 minutes silence
Walked dogs with DH.
Been to farm shop.
Had breakfast, in that order.

Still to do -
Put the washing machine on.
Do lunch
Drop a bag of food off to a local elderly lady. I kind of know her from when I helped out at a kind of soup kitchen/food bank. It was run by a local couple, without criteria so anyone could turn up. They were ordered to shut down for the March lockdown

Drank a lot of coffee. Done two loads of laundry. Helped DD build an IKEA bedside cabinet for her room.

Another walk up snowdon. The only part of lockdown im loving. No sodding visitors.

Lots of food including a takeaway, a walk, phone chats, TV & reading. A nice day all in all.

School run, reading book & breakfast for my little fella first thing.
Then I went for a march on the beach, did 1.5 miles.....which may not seem much but to me that’s the start of me no longer being a reclusive, depressed, anxiety ridden, fat slob. So a huge achievement.
I’ve chucked some wholesome, healthy deliciousness into my trusty slow cooker for my lunches for the week.
Going to clean after homes under the hammer ..obv!
Today my friends, is a good good day. At long last.

Got kids up and ready for school, lunchboxes, made a lasagne, ordered some Xmas presents,.2 loads of washing, 1 load drying. Have to put mountain of clean washing away, hoover, wash up, but I'm gonna take a quick nap

Got up, showered, dressed, drank a mug of coffee.
Washed and hoovered out my car, took it to the garage and had its (brand-new) winter wheels/tyres fitted. Whilst that was happening I walked around my local town and marvelled at the number of chemists' shops and hairdressing salons for a population of around 20k. Came home again. Just debating what to have for lunch.
Not very exciting at all.

Good day’s work done and heading out for a refreshing walk now. Yummy dinner planned for later - can’t wait!

Got up waved ds off to school emptied the dishwasher put a wash on worked from home all day just had a bath now making sausage and mash for tea need to put the drier on do ds pack lunch and nag him to do his homework. Same again planned for tomorrow unfortunately

Just back from a walk. Cooking dinner and wondering what vegetables to have. Feeling positive after reading that a vaccine for Covid might be ready by the end of the year (for those that need it most).

Chiselled out old paint from a door frame, then sandpaper to prep it for paint. Bloody slow going as my frozen shoulder means I can use one hand.
Popped out to Sainsbury’s for a few bits.

Dinner, yellow label pizza 👍

Work-chat with my mate - food - TV - bed - couldn’t sleep - now on mumsnet

Lovely relaxing morning reading.

Then did a wash, tidied up, cleaned the bathroom. About to reward myself with a cuppa.

I’m struggling today. I hope ye are feeling better.

@Separatedandabitsad sorry to hear you are struggling today.

Thanks @Hotchocolatey x

Laundry
Made food, breakfast, lunch and dinner
Bought a present for DH while he was picking up DIY bits. Managed to get it home without him seeing what it is, mostly by telling him to mind his own business when asked what I’d bought.
Posted parcels to DDs in Uni.

I’ve had such a dull day today. Apart from a bit of work, I’ve done a few chores and just nothing else of any note or pleasure.
It’s motivated me to do something tomorrow.

@Foghead

I hope today has been better.

I’ve had an uneventful weekend. I’m going to have a delicious dinner soon.

Run 7k!

Chuffed! Only got up to 5 before, since finishing C25K.

Knackered now though!
