Daily Achievements!

Hi forum friends! I've decided to start a new thread on Daily Achievements because I suffer from depression as one of my mental illness and that means it's often hard for me to remind myself that I do actually things in my day, no matter how small they may be. I thought forumites could post here a daily achievement or 2 so we can remind ourselves that we have done something good each day. It can be as big or as small as you like. Just as long as what you did makes you proud and happy.

I'm tagging @roses @Bow @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @saltandpepper @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @TideisTurning @Former-Member @frog @Sans911 @outlander

in case you might be interested as well as anyone else who wants to join in!

So, to get this discussion started, I'll post my achievements today which are:

- I had a gorgeous cup of tea which helped me deal with some anxiety I was experiencing;

- I paid my car registration which was due today.


See what I mean about achievements? Mine may seem small or irrelevant to some people but to me, because I have depression, these are actually major in the scheme of my life. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I was just thinking “where have the kids put them” just instantly blame them 🤣🤣🤣 @tyme
And part of me was like ok so how are we going to get home and how am I going to explain this, but the other part of me was actually rational and was like well we went to 3 aisles… so they have to be in those aisles unless my kid threw them somewhere else or something.
Your story is terrifying but it does happen!!

that’s like when I thought I lost our kid one night but he had actually gotten out of bed and decided to sleep under the bed… can you imagine my freak out when I could not see him? @tyme

Ahhh still so proud of me

Re: Daily Achievements!

sounds dumb when I say it, but think have seen it. maybe HD holden locking it manually from outside , push button down, hold button on door handle in and close it would lock it without keys then oh wheres the keys ... @ArraDreaming alls well that ends well

think kids prefer calm dad to angry dad. Well Done again.

Re: Daily Achievements!

RAC can get them out it 3 mins anyways, Ive done it a few times, the old coathanger trick lol .. newer cars just need a wedge to push window back to make room @ArraDreaming mum locked keys in same old 1965 HD Holden, guy from RAA was from holden dealers, he just had a big keyring with every possible key that would fit it lol

Re: Daily Achievements!

Yeah can lock them in it if you press the button, put them down then shut the door behind you, she’s done it once in that car RACV came almost instantly because our kid was in it luckily not a hot day, my car you can’t do that because it doesn’t even have remote central locking @TAB 🤣🤣 it’s that old…
