To try a bit of low-standard virtue signalling?

[FlamedToACrisp]

It's not often I have something to brag about, so...

Today I cleaned the downstairs loo EVEN THOUGH we have no guests expected!

AND I ate a piece of fruit, even though I'm not on a diet!

Let's hear yours!

Pedants!! I picked a single dog turd out of my yard rather than waiting for a little group to accumulate. Go me!

I was skyped by DGS and he angled his phone to fortnite on his ps4 so granny didn't get left behind on how he's doing. I relaxed in bed and watched for an hour making appreciative noises when I thought they were appropriate (difficult with the odd nap) - bonding time!

I have nothing to add other than this place is full of self important wankers.

Not you, OP!

I did craft today that involves plaster of Paris. I need to take a photo of the results for Facebook purposes

I saw the dust around my tv, and the tv cabinet and contemplated dusting it. This is very virtuous of me, as I barely ever register the amount of dust and filth in my home. I have way better things to do than clean, like gaze at the blue sky and pretty clouds through the window as I sit on the sofa like an elderly.

I wrote 100 words of a 3000 word MA assignment. Dont all rush to clap me at once I know I am amazing!

My brag is that I cleaned the oven door. I made a paste from vinegar and bicarbonate of soda (good advice from another thread that I was lurking on, although it would have been nice to have been warned how much elbow grease was also needed).

I shall keep very quiet about how long it is since I last cleaned the oven door.

GrannySlippers you have totally accurately described my lockdown!
However, I took the rubbish out the other day.

I allowed DH to clear the garden up, as he likes to be busy and I don’t, therefor it was better that I instructed him as to what needed doing from the comfort of the sofa

cardibach I also took my rubbish out. Takes bow! But that was because I figured it would be my weekly exercise. Also I did put on proper clothes to do it. So I feel I should take an extra bow for that.

I do know that proper people in the real world move/exercise every day. But my sofa has such a lovely indentation to the seat cushion from my rather generous behind that I feel extra exercise would hinder my sofa appreciation.

@Twickerhun I like your style

Ok ignoring the ridiculous pendants ( I mean honestly exactly what goes through your head when you look in the mirror ? Pride , for me it would be shame )

I listened to DP explain how he added something or other to ds1 computer in excruciating detail and did not tell " FFS it's not the moon landings is it done or not?"

I have smiled and listened to ds1 explain the difference between seahorses and starfish for an hour without losing the plot

Oooh and I didn't burn the quiche for once.....hell maybe I should do the lottery numbers

(I realise the first two make it sound like I don't like my family but I truly do love them ...its just been a very long lockdown )

I peeled some spuds for dinner, rather than use the Smash out of the larder.

Just about to eat 'em.

I got a Waitrose delivery slot.

I signalled my virtue by flaming someone on the internet for slight misinterpretation of the phrase virtue signalling

People need to lighten up!

Anyway mine is I only ate one slice of cheese just before lunch instead of the entire pack

I defrosted the freezer which was so full of ice the door wouldn't shut properly after DD left the freezer door ajar one night with the tumble dryer on. It took 8 hours to defrost! I also cleared out the fridge and cleaned it. Go me!

qwertyuiop098 that is genius response to receiving gaming "updates". Going to use that one myself!

I havent killed my dd4 who is obsessed with elsa and frozen the let It go song has been on since 7am this morning until 5pm
Weeps quietly in the corner

I actually put away the clean laundry 🙌

Managed to get the eldest to eat a side that isn't baked beans.

I've personally only eaten one chocolate bar today, which is a big improvement on yesterday (two chocolate bars and half a tub of ice cream in bed after the children went to sleep ).

I had sex with my husband and left the house for a walk. This is big news. I am 8 months pregnant so all I want to do is sit on the sofa watch TV and eat crisps.

I got out of bed before noon.

I don't understand what virtue signalling is even after looking it up? Can you dum it down for me please?

Virtue signalling is when you do a good thing but instead of going about it quietly because it was the right thing to do, you let everyone know because you want them to know what a great, right-on person you are. It can refer to your actions, words or general lifestyle.

OP inadvertently used the wrong word in her title and a couple of people have picked her up on it but most people have responded ti the thread in the way in which it was intended.

To be a bit more precise, you "accidentally" let slip something which shows how wonderful you are rather than directly telling people that you're an amazing person with all the right attitudes because you want them to realise it for themselves.
