To ask what you've done recently that makes you proud of yourself

[Theoriginalmrscillianmurphy]

I finished decorating my sitting room on Sunday and I'm honestly so proud of myself.

My ex partner left my home in a terrible state and I'm slowly putting it back together.

I was constantly let down by tradesmen so got on with it myself.

What have you done recently that makes you proud of yourself?

@Greyfoot you're dead right to crack on, why should you miss out. Glad you had a nice time ☺️

On Tuesday my dh announced he was leaving me after 17 years for a woman much younger than me and came clean on the affair. I'm proud that I could forgive him.

On Thursday today, I messaged dh to wish him and his woman well and that he had my blessing. That i look forward to meeting her one day. I said I was glad he found love and that he found someone to take care of him.

And I thank THE LORD for this woman coming into my life. I thank THE Lord that he ended us when I did not have the guts.

And I thank THE LORD for taking from me this one bottle a day overweight alcoholic, ADHD, manic depressive, selfish, messy, nicotine, paracetamol addict, verbally abusive, neglectful, selfish man child and handing him to HER.

Applied to be put on the council's housing list to work towards getting out of my toxic living situation

Finished my nursing degree and the 2300 hours of placement well within time to graduate on time which i never though would be possible when i started in covid times with school closures and having to miss hours. I also got above the 70% for a First in every assignment i did over the whole 3 years, which is massive as i didnt consider myself to be academic in the slightest.

I secured my dream job of being an A&E nurse in a major trauma centre A&E in one of the top 5 biggest hospitals in the UK.

Throughout this i have been a single parent to 3 teenagers and been dealt more than my fair share of bad luck. I had to move house, managed to get a council house which i am massively grateful for, but they come with nothing. Ive managed to carpet and sort the kids spaces out. But ive been sleeping on a floor for 7 months, and i have no curtains of blinds anywhere, but ive managed to turn it into a home for my children whilst writing a dissertation and working every hour i could for no pay to get my degree finished. Hopefully when i start working i can make my space a home too

I’ve lost almost 3 stone over the last year and I won a boudoir photoshoot. I didn’t think I’d have the guts to actually do it but I bought some new sexy lingerie and did it. It was amazing and the photos show this fabulous, confident 59 year old woman.

Learned how to walk,talk feed myself and swallow again! Was in a coma from 27 Jan - 23rd march this year. Was on brink of death but now I'm kinda nearly back to "normal" 😀

Spent the best part of this year fighting an appeal for my youngest son's school place. Won.

Did so whilst going through the absolute worst, most stressful and distressing time of my life. I was suidical at one point and had to actively work my way out of that.

On a massive high now, as all the negatives are gone and the weight has lifted. And I did it all, mostly, alone.

Wow, these are some amazing achievements!

Mine is a small one but happy with it. Fixed the toilet (fiddly as concealed cistern). Cost about €25 for a replacement part, instead of 💰💰💰getting a plumber.
