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 written Christmas cards for the neighbours! It was on my mental list of things that would be nice, but not essential, to do - so I'm pretty pleased with myself. OK, I haven't delivered them yet, but ...

I'm in the US and have only been up an hour. I've made breakfast (hashbrowns and eggs), drank my coffee and done the meal plan and shopping list.

Gearing myself up to shower next but it's sub-zero outside and the bathroom is cold.

My 3yoDD said she was proud of me for getting out of bed. (it was fucking 5.30am) - made me laugh though.
2.30pm im thinking about putting on a bra.

Went on a 5 mile run in the rain when I REALLY couldn't be bothered but thought I'd tackle the Christmas paunch early!

I made mince pies
I made pancakes for DD's breakfast
I bought dog food and essential supplies and a couple of last Xmas presents for DD & DH
I made sausages, potatoes, greens beans and broccoli for lunch

I've done a load of washing
I've cleaned the kitchen

Enjoying a cuppa and then will crack on - want to get the house tidy for Christmas!

I'm expecting to be quite tired later

I unloaded the dishwashet
I got dressed.

that's about it

I went swimming first thing.

After that I went to Asda with a long shopping list for Christmas. Unfortunately everything is dated to the 24th so came away with just the makings for mince pies.

Going to go and bottle some beer which DH will be happy about.

Yesterday

Made waffles with ds2
Cleaned the minging kitchen
2 loads washing

Today
2.63 mile run in 33 mins. Not great hut getting better.

Been very low recently so every move off the bed is an achievement. Today DH took the kids out so I have:

organised the fridge ready for Xmas food delivery.
Put all the washing away.
Finished the Xmas food delivery list and checked out.
Tidied up a bit but our whole downstairs is in turmoil because having new flooring put in and plastering done tomorrow so can't finish tidying or cleaning until Tuesday (and I'm working mon, tues and weds)

Sat mnetting now until DH comes back with the kids.

Did the Pre-Christmas sort out of the toy boxes. That's about it... I need to clean the kitchen and bathroom and vacuum, bath the kids, tidy the bedrooms, but I'm not finding the motivation now. No one will be coming here anyway

Cooked a nice roast and cleaned up afterwards.
Not a lot else really so far!

Boiled a lot of eggs (15) for the week
Did the washing
Went to Sainsbury's. This wasn't that successful. We're in Tier 4 now and Christmas Day has changed from "provide canapés and crisps" to "make lunch at home". Slight mental block and no list, so came home with some oven gloves, knickers, prawns and chocolate. And cat food.

Got out of bed.

I did a night shift last night, and am currently in the midst of deep, dark depression, so pathetic though it is, it's a huge achievement

I made a quick chickpea curry for lunch which everyone ate without moaning!

I really need to get outside now for 30 mins before the light goes, it really helps lift my mood. Then I will have the radio on while peeling veg for dinner.

Fuck all.

I sometimes can’t recognise myself compared to the dynamo I was a few years ago but am at least getting glimpses of ‘me’ back, I hope you do too.

Today I put clothes on & managed to get spuds prepped for dinner while DS made lunch. He’s avoiding what I’ve asked him to do so doing other smaller ‘helpful’ things so I won’t press him on the more important atuff he’s not done

I need to change my bed & have a shower but have to wait until I’ve the energy so might be tomorrow.

We (me, DH & adult DS) went to our local town for 10.00 because there was a farmer's market on as well as our lovely indoor Market being open (it doesn't usually open on Sundays). We got in early and bought some lovely cheeses and smoked salmon for Christmas. Also bought the wild mushrooms to make the sauce for our rib of beef on Christmas day and DS has now made the sauce (minus the cream) to go in the freezer. We had coffee and cake and were back home before lunchtime. It was our first trip out with all 3 of us since September as DS has been away at Uni.

Love this thread! It just gave me the motivation i needed to get and up and get dressed and make my bed. I'm in Brazil, so it's earlier here but not early early (it's midday).

Up. Dressed. Dispatched DH to deliver gifts to family friends who dropped ours off last night to check on his auntie (MIL passed away 3 weeks ago and they lived together).

Wrapped a gift that arrived in the post. (Still to wrap DH's 3 tomorrow).

Meal planned sort of for the next few days.
Emailed a local theatre to chase refund on the panto tickets that is now cancelled.

Cleared the dining room table ready for us to sit and eat our takeaway later.

It's been hard to get motivated! But washing mountain halved, dishwasher emptied, a walk, a small food shop for a few bits we needed and a video call with my parents .

Now we're prepping Katsu curry from scratch.

Yesterday was busier, tomorrow I'm hoping will be even quieter!

Made a Voodoo Boris:

Sorted out all shoes, mine and DH's and gave some to charity
Wrapped the last gifts
Read for 2 hours
Spent time with DH

Ha @Remus that has made me smile for the first time today I think!

I finished my masters assignment. Proper finished, references checked and everything. IT IS FINISHED.

@Nuie Congratulations!
