I managed to get teen DS to leave the house and do some actual - wait for it - exercise!! He was meant to be doing a walk, run or bike ride for PE but it was too coooold and he couldn't find his gloves and the cycle track was too muddy and so on and so forth, but he did in the end cycle to the Co-Op and back without any appreciable drama, which is a win in my book!

JensonsAcolyte · 04/03/2021 12:35

Did a balance transfer to a new 0% deal.

Got dressed.

That’s it 🤣

LivingMyBestLife2020 · 04/03/2021 12:35

My toddler made some cupcakes with minimal mess and I didn’t have a breakdown 🤣

Blacktothepink · 04/03/2021 12:36

Made some phone calls and had a bath 🤣

TeenMinusTests · 04/03/2021 12:37

Got anxious/depressed DD up and out of bed in a positive enough frame of mind to do a little bit of schoolwork and later an hour of tutoring.
Small wins only here these days.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 04/03/2021 12:37

I have made a dent in the large scanning pile at work

FoxtrotOscarPoppet · 04/03/2021 12:37

My baby is in the Special Care Unit having been born at 34 weeks. She’s a week old and still tiny but today we were told she’s put weight on (has only lost weight before now) and we have achieved a successful breastfeed. Smile

Ilikewinter · 04/03/2021 12:40

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet .... thats a big win, congratulations!.

My small win is ive fixed some loose guttering and about to take the car for its MOT, will be a win if it passes 🤞

Indecisivelurcher · 04/03/2021 12:42

So fast once drunk quite a lot of coffee. It's not working.

Crafted with Dd instead of homeschool. Sent a personal email instead of a work one. I need the coffee to kick in...

Indecisivelurcher · 04/03/2021 12:42

And clearly lost the ability to type coherent sentences on my phone.

Everydaydragon · 04/03/2021 12:45

I'm having one of the most productive days in a while, a 5km run, a load of laundry and homeschooling done by lunchtime! I need a nap haha

ColourMeExhausted · 04/03/2021 12:45

Did exercise, both school and nursery run as DH ill, took DS to getbhis vaccination, put a wash on and out, did some work, hoovered...and I'm meant to be on my day off Grin so now going to try and achieve a nap!

Yeval · 04/03/2021 12:47

I managed to not tell my boss to STFU after he spent an hour droning on at me about stuff I don't care about.

Okbussitout · 04/03/2021 12:53

Tidied the bedroom and done a bit of sorting.
A social media post promoting some work I'm doing.
Organised a job that needs doing on the house.
Dripped something off at my sisters with a little treat.
I'm off work this week so not doing loads today!

Okbussitout · 04/03/2021 12:57

@Yeval

I managed to not tell my boss to STFU after he spent an hour droning on at me about stuff I don't care about.
Oh if we get to include all of the things we managed to not do can I places have that I managed to not cry today yet. Just at the state of things and I reduced my anti anxiety meds to a lower dose so I'm more emotional.

Also well done on the boss front!

BellamyBells · 04/03/2021 12:59

Vaccummed the floor
Got outside for a brief run with toddler
He's asleep? This is win for me!

Ikora · 04/03/2021 14:19

A walk
Laundry done
DS has agreed to hoover the entire house later

Delphigirl · 04/03/2021 14:21

Produced 3784 words of a paper which is about half what I should have done by now and about a quarter of the way through by words (but only about a sixth of the way through by intellectual effort - I’m doing the easy bits first!)

mbosnz · 04/03/2021 14:22

I've deepcleaned the bathroom, deepcleaned the ensuite, done two loads of washing, gone for a 3km walk, and not killed the kids.

Delphigirl · 04/03/2021 14:22

I’ve also had quite productive conversations with my dogs and my canaries and played the piano for 10 minutes

Thatwentbadly · 04/03/2021 14:25

Not much at all.
Got dressed, feed the children, decided I’ve given up on home schooling, cut DD1s hair and got her to read me a book.

trevthecat · 04/03/2021 14:27

I've already made our tea, just needs heating up. Did a bit of uni work and I didn't snack! Wins all round!

Iamblossom · 04/03/2021 14:27

Showered, dressed, did hair and make up.

2 customer meetings and one internal one.

Hoovered downstairs.

Made sure DS1 got in the taxi I had to book to get him to school and back for his LFT.

Been to the doctor (they forgot my appt for the second time in a row Hmm)

Walking the dogs for an hour at 3pm.

I will also cook tea for DSs later.

ineedaholidayandwine · 04/03/2021 14:28

Homeschooling
Finally decided to stop dithering and put the house on the market and engage an estate agent. Just hope there is a house for sale that we like!......

Iamblossom · 04/03/2021 14:28

Oh and I managed a 10 min piano practice. And cleaned the kitchen, including unloading the dishwasher twice.
