What have you achieved today, no matter how small?

[Bluewavescrashing]

I started a thread with the same title in the summer as I was struggling to get motivated. If you'd like to add your little achievements, please do!

Today I have

Cleaned the bathroom
Had a bath
Nagged the DCs to have a bath until they finally gave in.

I have dinner cooked for today and also a curry in the slow cooker for tomorrow (also some left over for the freezer)
This majorly helps with the mid week rush.

Had a lie-in, then got dressed & took DD (6) to Sainsbury's for our food shop. Managed to do the whole shop with only getting her some pick'n'mix.
Put the shopping away.
Just eaten lunch & will have a long bath this afternoon. May also clean the bathrooms.

Washed some bedding, tidied up a bit. Kids dressed and fed. Washed my hair. Rang MIL.

Need to take the kids for a walk but can't cope with the idea of all the mud in our local playground.

Had a takeaway hot chocolate with my 22 year old son. Doesn’t sound like a lot but after 15 years of anorexia I am really trying to recover properly so this small thing feels like a big step for me! My son said it was his best Christmas present ever!

That's lovely! It's a tricky time of year for ED - all the best for your recovery.

I've changed the bed, hoovered the bedroom and folded up and put away the laundry!

Written local Christmas cards will go out and post them soon,put a washing on x2 emptied the dryer.faffed About on Mumsnet whilst eating a sausage sandwich.

Iced 2 Xmas cakes 👍👍

We've found a pub with a playground for lunch. Feels good to get out of the house and have a change of scene. I have a feeling we'll be in tier 3 before too long so making the most of eating out while we can. Wearing out DCs is also a priority!

I wrapped the last Xmas pressie. It is for dh and I've played a little trick on him by wrapping it in several layers! Dc thought it was hilarious but hopefully they won't say anything.

I got up, walked to supermarket in the sunshine and got bits to shove in oven xmas day Etc
Now having a coffee before wrapping the rest of the presents (I do not know when they will get delivered now xmas day is off cos we all working up until then)
Will probably watch the grinch later

I went to a shop. 10 days post hysterectomy so feeling a bit proud of myself.

Finally ordered my ds's girlfriend's Christmas presents. That's it so far, I have covid and I'm not feeling great.

I’ve pegged some washing out on the line, caught up on the dances from the Strictly final that I missed, and am now taking Christmas decorations downstairs to put up

The tree is almost up. The teenagers have now declared they can't be bothered To finish it so it's a mess but I'm not doing it on principle

Finished a quilt
Made half a hat
Walked the dog

Put a load in the tumble dryer.
Cleaned the bathroom.

Need to get a move on as the house is a tip & would like it tidy today so I can spend the next 4 days doing christmassy stuff with the DC but I'm 19 weeks pregnant & have a cold/cough (not covid, had a negative result yesterday) so feel lazy & DC keep arguing!

Cleared all the utter crap from my beautiful sideboard, covered with a christmassy cloth and put on it, bottles of prosecco, Bucks Fizz and cider, some napkins and a box of Jacob's biscuits for cheese. It's a start!

Had a shower, got dressed, did hair and put on make up.
All were done with an 8 wk old and 4 year old in the same room helping.

Made cold porcelain, used cookie cutters for shapes and painted them yesterday with adult dc finally home. Today I've lacquered them waiting for them to dry. First time we have done this, was so hyggeligt ❤️. (and yes I'm allowed to say hygge it's my native language ).

Got my 5 month old down for a nap without a 20 minute screaming fit

Got some shelves up that had been on my to do list for 5 years!!

Ranb5k and did a food shop. I need to tidy the house but i think i'm done for the day....

Tidied away all the present wrapping stuff that’s been cluttering up the kitchen table for ages
Tidied the kitchen counters
Cleared the washing up
Put some washing on
Now I’m stuck to the sofa, slowly gathering myself to have a shower....

I am cleaning my oven, which I haven't cleaned since last Christmas

Cleared stuff from garage freezer

Sorted out the booze store aka the garage

Got rid of the mist rank smelling ice cream, not off just sickly sweet rank
