To ask what your tiny wins have been today to get better at adulting and being organised ?

[justsaythanks]

Mine? Putting dog poo bags on Amazon subscribe and save. £1.50 and just one less thing to think about
Win

Got straight out of bed at 6am made a coffee and took the dog for an hours walk - and enjoyed it a- I usually stay in bed till the last possible moment and then begrudgingly do the morning walk
i also sent a meter reading to my gas and electric and cancelled my direct debit as I’m in credit as they wanted a stupid amount of money per month and despite me pointing out I’ve gone from a 4 person household to a 1 in the past few months they still wanted to charge me on past use

I also turned the lights off during the day as I put them on out of habit…

I've actually just looked at mine, thought that really needs a clean, then closed it again.

Oops that was meant to reply to @Thelnebriati

When the cat had his jabs today I booked next year's at the same time as paying.

That’s not a tiny win! That’s a monumental win! Well done you

I have done the filters, one was fine strangely so I suspect that the last time I gave DH the job he only did the roller ball and didn't know about the other one, the other was gopping.

I finally threw all the dog’s knickers away as she’s been spayed.

Oh well done! If I get up that early I’ll have had three breakfasts by lunchtime and probably need a nap!

The highest shelf inside the fridge door - for 7 years - useless! - too bloody close to the top of the door. Nearly everything in the world is just a bit too tall and stops the door shutting. (no option to adjust)

UNTIL TODAY!

Today i discover that all this time DHs little Actimel bottles fit up there with perfect precision. AND they look nice up there. Win win 😁

@Minniem2020

I looked at mine, closed the drawer and then my conscience drove me back.

Memo to self, the next time @Thelnebriati does something virtuous ignore her.

Was packed by 5pm for our holiday - and I’d watered the garden!

and I used all the contents of the fridge including making a cake and freezing it, and making everyone omelettes to use up 12 eggs rather than wasting them.

Remembered to put jacket potatoes in the oven mid afternoon so teatime for hungry three year old was very easy and minimal stress.

We’re on holiday and flying home tomorrow, we have a washing machine in our villa. Everything we won’t be wearing tomorrow is washed, dried and packed in our suitcases.

@Lemonyfuckit is there an app you use for this?

@SimonJT now that is a win.

I have just put the washing machine powder drawer in very hot sink and now it is in the dishwasher, DH thinks I am tapped.

I have set up a spreadsheet to track money with several worksheets: current account, spending budget, credit card spends etc. plus a look ahead to September budget and cc payments.

I can now confidently predict how much cash I can put into savings at the end of this month, next month and September. I feel so empowered!

It is indeed a tiny one but I had an unused large picture frame and some empty moving boxes, so I removed the glass from the frame, backed it with the thick cardboard from one of the boxes, covered it in PVA and felt and hung it on a wall as my new, shiny pin board for important forms and reminders.

We just use the 'Notes' app in iPhone which gives you the option to share any notes with other people, so we have a shared meal plan list and shopping list but also use other notes for various to do lists, Christmas card list etc. I imagine other phones would have similar apps though.

Oh just thought of another one (none of mine are today specific just things I do) - I get mail order tampons from Daye which I think (I hope) are probably the most environmentally friendly of the non-reusable sanpro at any rate. Customise your subscription to how many you need and cycle length (and I think they're pretty good value) so the right amount turns up at the right time each month, never have to remember to buy.

Just one thought on this - I totally get you re them always taking a much larger DD, but I did see something from Martin Lewis the other day suggesting if people can afford it now to maybe consider keeping a somewhat higher DD at present to help spread the pain a little when the price cap goes up again in October.

Having saved items that automatically add to my food shop online basket. No idea why I didn’t set it up sooner.

@Skethylita That's the sort of quick craft project which is immensely satisfying!

Recently lost my phone so recommend setting up Find My Phone, sharing passwords between devices, Google photos - all pretty basic but I hadn’t done then when I lost my phone life was a nightmare.

Also hair dye on subscription so just as I start to think I am starting to look like a badger it magically turns up!

Deleted WhatsApp. Have probably saved hours of being hassled already today! I felt more relaxed within half an hour :)
