in Coffee lounge
I (helped to) cooked macaroni cheese last week and a beef casserole dish yesterday. Both with the help of a family member of course - but it’s the first building blocks to being independent.

I also made a very short phone call to my support worker having not used the phone for a long time. Again I hope the start of something bigger and better.

What little achievements have you completed recently? :)

    An amazing thread @66Mustang, and it's great to hear that you've made those steps. The little things are always the gateway to overall improvement :)

    Thanks @Ross_Scope for the kind words :)

    I agree that most good things are done in little steps.

    Hopefully others will have some achievements to share :)

    Hi 66mustang well done you. I can't say I've achieved anything recently to be honest, you must feel pleased, little starts at things always the way forwards

    Thanks @Sandy_123, I’m sure you have achieved something recently even something small if you think about the last few days? :smiley:

    Thank you and they sound like great courses @janer1967, well done for doing them.

    I’m working on economics at the moment - I’m about 1/8 of the way through the course.

    Well macaroni cheese is one of my favourite meals, & definitely my son's.....it was the first meal he learnt to cook. So an excellent & inspired start! It's great to see you making that little bit of progress. Congratulations. :)

    Proud of you @66Mustang :)

    After struggling both mentally and physically these last two weeks, i'm trying to find little achievements every day. My favourite one is making Daisy smile, despite how I feel, it makes me a little happier knowing I can make my daughter happy.

    Well done @66Mustang .  I have a terrible problem with phones but spoke with my mental health advocate on Monday. That's my main achievement this past week. Only a phone call to most but for some reason I have real difficulty with phones which has probably been the worst part of lockdown for me, with everyone insisting on doing everything over the phone now.

    What a great idea for a post @66Mustang! 

    You're right - it's really important for us all to celebrate our small 'wins', whatever they might be!

    p.s. Mine is VERY SLOWLY learning to navigate my way around the Scope Online Community as a new member of the team  :)

    Years ago I was an avid reader, could finish a book every week or two, barely missed a day reading, that fell away until I hadn't read a book in years, since christmas I have read two books and on my third

    Just bumping this thread up to post up another little achievement

    For the last 6 months I have been struggling to study but over the last week I have done 10 hours’ worth of study which is more than I’d done in the previous 2 months. I’m really pleased and hope that I’ll continue to be able to do it  :)

    I managed a short walk today with the help of my partner, that’s three in two weeks which is good for me. Hopefully we can go out in the car at some point this week especially nice in the sunshine.

    That's great, well done on both @66Mustang! Good luck with the studying.

    It's fab to hear that from you too @leeCal :) The weather's looking lovely, so I hope you manage to get out for a bit.
