What have you achieved today?

[MorePotatoSalad]

I started a thread on this during a slump last week and never came back to it. It must have worked as I went off and powered through several things.

The replies were so lovely ranging from minor to major things.

I'm not sure why-it must be mid week blues-I reach a bit of a blob mid week.

So today I had an important meeting and got some positive news about a client.

What have you achieved today?

I have assisted in the making of 5 Mother's Day cards, 5 Mother's Day baskets and 2 threaded hearts. Will be having a similar day tomorrow!
I've been on 3 very wet school runs and will be taking my elderly aunt to the supermarket once work is over. I predict I will be in bed by 8!

I don't normally procrastinate

I have successfully cancelled a utility bill that is no longer required
In the future, I'm wondering whether to spend or invest the money

I'm on week 9 of the C25K and I just managed to run my first solid 5k, and in 30:50 - can't fathom how I've managed that speed but I'm feeling ridiculously pleased with myself!

Other than DP, it will mean nothing to anyone in my real life (no one I know runs) and I want to shout it from the rooftops right now.

I've eaten a cake that was made for 8 people

Had to go into the office to help set up new software for two hours.

Got the two dc off to school beforehand

Had an appointment at 2pm in another town so fought through the traffic there and back and even managed to stop and do some food shop bits on the way back

Sent some emails that needed sending and sorted lunches for tomorrow and tea for tonight.

Tomorrow's plan is a long dog walk early to get me moving followed by more weed and mud digging ready for the new membrane and gravel to go down at the weekend.

@JorisBonson
I too can't stop eating crap again this week

I've been teaching 28 5 and 6 year olds today. In work 7.30am, home at 6. Wet play. Building work. Endless assessments. Unreliable tech. Friendship issues. Toilet trips x a million. I miss my mummy. When's it home time? Is it lunchtime now? I don't want to write, I want to play. Busy, lovely, funny, stressful, happy, tiring day.

I didn't mean to write a poem there 😂📝

Got the virgin media upgrade sorted that's been on my to do list for months

Bought a new mattress for the cot as baby 2 needs to move out of the Snuzpod and into it pretty soon - she's growing too fast :(

Wrote a massive list of all the things I need to get sorted during mat leave when my toddler finally goes back to nursery on Monday

Walked ro the post box to post my mum's card.
Collected my Asda click and collect order

That's it. I'm in such a slump. I've really lost my will to do anything.

Congrats @Starlive23 - how long til your baby is due?

Did it hurt @MrsBDarcy? I'm considering it

Made everyone a hot packed lunch for school
Did two loads of laundry
Had a kick-arse day at work
Invoiced some clients
Spoke to my mortgage adviser to see how much money I can borrow
Tidied the house
Rescued my son from the station as his train got cancelled (hour-long round trip)
Emailed school and future college about various things
Booked haircuts for me and my son
Removed a shelf from my desk and set up my printer
Cleaned the bathroom

...all on 3 hours sleep.

I beat my record on the cross trainer this morning, been really trying to up my fitness levels, along with loosing some lockdown pounds and it finally coming off. Also the family are ordering take away but I've stuck to a healthy home cooked dinner . Did some excellent training with my puppy & the sun is out ( not UK) . Today is a good day

Did a 25 minute HIIT in my lunch break despite waking up at 04:30.

Vaccinated lots of people.

Not a huge amount, today. It’s my day off from work but I had my second Covid vaccination yesterday and feel really grotty today with it. I had Covid in January and the vaccine nurse said it was likely that I’d have a strong reaction to it. So, I’m pleased that I’m not working and have mainly been vegging out.
The little I have done is a supermarket shop, walked the school run, played Lego with the kids and made tea. Now lying on the sofa feeling achey.

Bleached the bins, cleaned out the Hoover's and food shopped. Lucky me.

I'm in the middle of a horrendous fibro flare right now so I'm lucky that I managed to actually get some decent sleep this morning after being awake all night. I also made dinner and got a load of laundry in the washing machine and got some good bingewatching in this afternoon while both DC did their college/school work in their rooms.

Reminded me a bit of train spotting

Planned several lessons
Went shopping for new bits for home
Did dc homework with them and reading
Paid in lump sum to savings (this is very positive for me as not good at savings)

Cleared out the garden shed.
Took rubbish/crap from shed to pre arranged slot at the local dump.
Did some ironing
Played tennis(in the rain 💦)

@Duckyneedsaclean you’re a legend! Thank you.

I went for a 10k walk with my bestie where we put the world to rights.
Have listened to DD read and play the flute.

Now I’m in on the sofa, with the puppy and fire is lit. Life is good.

Took the kids to school and the toddler to nursery. Worked 6 hours. Picked them all up. Fed them, did their reading and spellings. Played with them. Bathed them. Put them to bed. Cooked and ate my dinner. Now working again, until 10ish. Then bed!

I took a shower and took DC to the park for 20 mins. Recovering from shoulder surgery so that’s a big deal
