Well, we have all gone quiet goal-wise . Is it the clocks going back I wonder?!
How have your goals been today? I had root canal re-treatment yesterday so my only goal for today was to get through it relatively unscathed. So far, so good!

I had an appointment with a nurse today which went ok. One or two little problems health wise but I’m fine really, though I’m very overweight.
@Cher_Scope I think the early evenings have affected things a bit. My body clock hasn’t yet adjusted properly, I know that because I’m waking up an hour earlier ha ha. im glad your dental work was ok.
I have had root canal treatment as well, it’s not a pleasant experience is it! I hope you got through it OK.
My goal for today and also tomorrow has been/is to get on with my A level economics as I have some relatively free days.
I also have set myself a goal which is insignificant to most but very significant to me - to go to a local shop on my own and buy some snacks. It is something I plan on doing some time over the next few days or weeks.
@66Mustang I was explaining to a nurse today how I can’t just go out walking and she suggested I use a bicycle. She said that a lot of people feel safer on a bike than just walking around, and of course you still get exercise which she knows I need. I had to agree I would feel safer on a bike.
@leeCal thanks for the tip but for me it’s a psychological thing not a physical thing.
I think I would feel worse on a bicycle knowing how drivers treat cyclists. I’m not one of them - I try to respect cyclists - but many drivers they are treated as an annoyance sadly.
@leeCal Ooh a bicycle might be a good idea! Do you have one already? and yes, I'm still adjusting to the earlier darker nights too.
@66Mustang Good luck with your study, I hope you are enjoying it. Please let us know how you get on going to the shops, if you want to talk about it beforehand we are all here for you

My goal for tomorrow is to re home some carrots...I did the thing of thinking I'd ordered 6 loose carrots only to discover I'd ordered 6 bags of carrots...and to think I scored no points for managing finances!
I am going I am writing some fantastic poetry today and another creative idea I have I hope you are fantastic and good health and wellness and safe? I just wondered what you all have planned for the weekend?
Hi @Globster that sounds really good. I look forward to reading it if you decide to share it with us.
This weekend it is my birthday (tomorrow) so we have a family member staying (we are still allowed to, we are in the lowest “tier” I believe) and have been for a meal and are having some meals at home.
My goal for today is doing at least an hour’s studying for my online course that I just started last week. I’m doing Functional Skills English to help improve my Reading and Writing skills and hopefully gain a new qualification.
I started an online course in mindfulness last week @Marie88, I’ve quite enjoyed it. I already knew a lot about it but I enjoy reading other ideas about the subject and it’s free so nothing lost by doing it at all.
Sounds good @leecal I would be interested in learning more about mindfulness, which site is the course on? I’m handing in my notice at work next week so I need to try to keep busy and stay positive about things.
@leeCal@Marie88 Enjoy your learning. I'm going to start a future learn course when I have more time. It's always good to expand your knowledge. As my mother says, knowledge is power!

I haven’t completed my goal to go out on my own yet but it’s a long term aim.
I have however received some Christmas deliveries like you @Cher_Scope
I just have my brother to buy for now. He is into fashionable clothes and also has a nice car and is into that so any ideas would be appreciated!! I’m thinking maybe just a gift voucher for Top Man or something as I wouldn’t have the first clue what clothes to buy
@leeCal what brand is it? I’d be interested to know how you get on with it as I had an electric shaver about 10 years ago and I found it didn’t work well, it seemed to attempt to pull the hairs out rather than cut them!! Really painful!
@66Mustang It’s a wahl beard trimmer and shaver, for ordinary shaving it cuts to 0.2mm which is probably not close enough if you’re after a shaver alone, ie no beard to trim. Mind you that’s less than a quarter of 1mm! Smooth to look at. You can buy the foil shaver attachment which fits on the shaver head. I like wahl products a lot, I bought a set of clipper and guide combs last summer and it’s great too!
I finally managed to get a online food shop slot I dont enjoy doing it though tales me longer than going to the shop but not able to go out to do it this week which is a shame
Im sad I know but that is my weekly outing and normally the only time I get to go out
Not sad at all I only get out to go to the shops as well and to walk the dog. Before COVID we would purposefully do a small shop so we got to go more often as it’s an excuse to go out.
I intended to finish my short free course on mindfulness today and it happened sooner than I thought. I quite enjoyed it actually, it only took four weeks but I didn’t pay anything so didn’t get a certificate. No matter, I don’t need one. 🙂
I also agree that the only thing that matters is that you have gained the knowledge. I have done a couple of A levels online and have been unable to sit the exams due to my issues but I have the knowledge in my head just as anyone with an A level in the subject would have and that is what matters.
Everyone is so mad about CVs these days though @66Mustang it’s a shame you couldn’t get the certificates. Im glad I’m past the age of worrying about my CV, I dislike jumping through hoops.
Completed my goal today I have finished my diploma in criminology and also criminal psychology with a grade of 96% and 92% so pretty pleased with myself
Going to have a little break before I look for my next course

Well today I have another appointment at the clinic I go to, psychology this time. This means a 50 mile drive consisting of mostly motorway there and back which for those who don’t know I find hard. I’m looking forward to the appointment but a bit apprehensive about the drive but I like to do at least the journey there and let the person with me drive back.
Hello I was thinking of creating poetry book for scope and proceeds from the book go back to scope charity I would appreciative what scope online my goal set myself
@Tori_Scope thank you and no it's a different one, the postponed one is on Monday
I'm back now, it went really well, but I feel rough with my cold so going to have a sleep now I hope everybody else us doing well today and is looking forward to the weekend
Pop down to the Flat after lunch to see if the post's been yet with anything like Bills and stuff. Also if the weather stays fine, get Dad to remove his car from the drive and do one last attempt at recording my Pattern.
Do some more gaming to try and retain my spot on top of this month's leader board on Xbox LIve< Tetris here I come!
Yes thank you @Tori_Scope. I managed to get to the chemists and queue for my prescription, it took about half an hour actually but never mind, it’s only once a month. It also bucked me up a bit being out and about.
chilly out today, better than being too hot though!
Yes, I find it always makes me feel a bit more chirpy when I get out and about, especially when I really don't feel like it @leeCal. I'm glad you managed to get your prescription.
The weather is definitely getting colder! The bobble hat has officially made its first appearance.

My goal for today is to actually leave the house and get some fresh air. I feel like I've been in for a couple of days so a walk in the crispy autumn leaves and dark night sky is needed.

I agree queueing is a bit annoying, during Lockdown 1 we were running errands for a few elderly neighbours so were queueing at the chemist every couple of days!
So I kind of achieved both my goals for this weekend, I got up to 700 points on Xbox leader board as of about 9 PM last night, and this morning Dad recorded me doing my pattern and I uploaded it to YouTube and sent a link to my teacher.

It seems I had a lot of catching up to do on this thread! Well done to everyone who's been completing goals, big and small.
My goal this week is to finish the chapter I'm writing for a book. It sounds like it should be achievable, but I've managed four chapters since January, so I won't hold my breath.
I’m currently at the car dealership as I need some oil put in my car and couldn’t find any in Halfords so they told me to come down and they are topping it up for free and giving the car a health check
This Motability scheme is a really really good service, I am very impressed by it
My goal is to try & keep warm! Had my boiler serviced yesterday afternoon, & the plumber found a small gas leak. So no central heating/hot water. My cat is not amused, as she doesn't like the noise of my electric space heater, nor the feel of the fleece my lower half is wrapped up in.....she put one paw on it, & quickly decided she didn't like it, so keeps leaping across it so she can walk in front of my computer screen. Here's hoping I might get it sorted tomorrow.
@chiarieds keep warm why do these things always happen in winter and not summer think they should only do services in summer so all ready and working for cold weather
I kind of achieved my goal today, I've retained my top spot on the Xbox leader board this month, on 845 points so far including 30 from Tetris and 50 from Star Renegades.
I'm a good gamer me!
Plus I've been gaming for nearly 40 years.
Also my teacher's accepted my entry to the Club competition, I finally got it right! Woo! Go me!
My goal today is the same as it was yesterday . To wait in all day for a parcel . Really annoying, the shipping company received the parcel 02.15 am Tuesday, then processed it at 15.45 pm Tuesday and that’s when everything stopped! It was supposed to be next day delivery when I ordered it Monday evening. 😖
@leeCal it is annoying when that happens isn’t it. But I guess still much better than a decade ago when parcels could take days to arrive and you got no idea of when it was coming!
That is certainly a Very Important Parcel @66Mustang! I hope yours arrives soon @leeCal. I also have a parcel coming today, so I expect it'll be placed in our bin as a 'safe place' before they've even knocked.

Update: they didn't knock (obviously), but they didn't put it in the bin at least. It went in our 'outhouse' (which doesn't exist), AKA by the front door.

0.2mm sounds perfectly good to me! I don’t think even a wet shave removes the entire hair down to 0mm but I may be wrong.
Im sad I know but that is my weekly outing and normally the only time I get to go out
Not sad at all I only get out to go to the shops as well and to walk the dog. Before COVID we would purposefully do a small shop so we got to go more often as it’s an excuse to go out.
