My goal today

We are often told that setting a goal for the day or even the week can be helpful to our mental health.
My goal for today is to get my prescription in to the doctors surgery.
What’s yours? 🙂

Tomorrows goals is to book activities for my sons birthday
birthdays are great, good luck with the preparations!
Get some things from the shops (done)
Research hotels for a trip to Scotland for my birthday
Maybe do some study
Have you managed to get your prescription in yet?
Hows the research for hotels going? I know someone who has just come back from Scotland and they had a great time visiting various lochs etc. I’m jealous, bit too expensive for me, I moved house this year so I need to save up again before I can take a break. Hope it goes well for you.
There are lots of nice hotels where we want to go but most are quite expensive and we have a limited budget! I have found a couple of nice ones so far that are within the budget, though.
It also sounds as though you had a good day today, great stuff.
Also we stayed at an hotel in Berwick upon tweed a couple of years ago which was quite reasonable but of course you may need to be further north I expect.
I had never considered that - I will take a look. Thanks for the suggestion!
Yes we want to be a bit further up - near Pitlochry.
My goal for the week is to buy myself a clothes horse. I recently moved house, forgot to buy one, and currently have my clothes hanging off every possible ledge in my room

@Tori_Scope will you get a traditional wooden one or a metal screen type one? The traditional one is still really useful I think.
I used to have a metal one and it was fine, so I'll probably go with that again as I believe they're usually cheaper.

Today we went for a breakfast as Wetherspoons. It is usually £3.50 for a breakfast which is crazy in itself but with the scheme it was £1.75!
everyone seems to have had a nice day today, that’s great 😀!
Thank you all for your positive posts!
It’s a shame this scheme isn’t going to go on longer, hehe
I was full from my breakfast too. Only needed cheese and biscuits by 7pm, no lunch or proper dinner needed!!

Not much for me to do today - I've already done a load of washing and hung it out. If I can fit in a walk after work that'd be grand.

Love this idea and think it is so important. I have a goal system in place and this has really helped me to come to terms with elements of my disability. I have short, medium and long term goals. My goal for this week is to continuing planning the football competition for the online community in preparation for the start of the season. Thank you for sharing this.
I achieved my goal today and thoroughly enjoyed a chat, chocolate brownie and cups of tea, great fun.
I have a bigger goal this week but as @Cher_Scope says once you've mentioned it you do seem to be under, a little, pressure to achieve it and since it relies on having a rain free day I’ll postpone mentioning it until the weather is going to be fine. It’s an outside repair you see.
thank you @WestHam06 🙂
I have no goals for tonight other than to relax!! It's wet and soggy outside and I'm feeling sleepy.

A problem we have in my area is that on bank holidays the local traffic increases tenfold and makes it difficult to get anywhere with ease. 🤨
My goal is to finally finish the first season of prison break I never realised there were so many episodes
Will also be watching the grand prix qualifying and having a chill and a nice take away
meanwhile yes! I’ve painted all my timber...though it looks like rain soon. Perhaps it’ll pass over.

Thinking back to maths sessions I had at school they were so boring if I’d worn a face mask as well I’d definitely had been snoozing in no time! 🤣 but that’s just me of course.
He got to wear mask around school but not in class
It will be me that finds it hard him not being here

So I am going to be wrapping his birthday presents and baking his birthday cake to keep me busy
That's a long time! At least you'll have his birthday weekend to look forward to

I am making a choc fudge cake with all different chocs on the top, too old now for themed cakes
That sounds amazing! I'm sure he'll love it. One is never too old for a themed cake. A couple of my friends made me a traffic cone themed birthday cake (that is also a whole other story...) in my first year of university and it was the best

It will be a choc themed cake
All this talk of cakes has got me wanting a Colin the Caterpillar.

What I must do is try to remove quite a few screws from decking I removed yesterday, not an easy task. Actually the whole job has grown horribly, ill persist but I may need help with this one.
How are things going @leeCal? Blueberry cake sounds AMAZING!
Good luck today @66Mustang! Any ideas?

My goal for today is to get through to the doctors to make an appointment. I am currently in a telephone queue so almost there.

@Chloe_Scope First day gone ok but it was only for 2 hours today but he is glad to have seen his friends again and said how many of them have got taller and their voices have broke , he was one of the only ones before as he is nearly a year older then the others
Used my free time to good use got a lamb stew cooking away in the slow cooker will have some home made yorkshire pudding with it must admit ther smell is making my tummy rumble
@leeCal, certainly sounds like you needed the tea break, any biscuits?
@janer1967, sounds like a productive day for you! Got to love the slow cooker. My sister is also looking forward to seeing her friends as well, it's been a long time for them!

A while ago I had to take some shelves apart and I begun using a screwdriver which was hard work until someone gave me this tool which took the screws out with no effort, just push the driver into the screw, pull the trigger and it’s undone.
I hope you got through to the doctors today! I can see it being hard at the moment.
Now all all I need to do is decide whether to relay decking or do without. The decking itself lasts well but the timber it’s fixed to rots quietly underneath. Ephemeral.
thanks for the suggestion though, much appreciated.
was your shopping trip a success? I see it was, great stuff.
That is a tricky conundrum as to whether to relay the decking. If you didn’t relay it what would you have there instead?
I learnt a new word from your post
even my neighbour mentioned that because it is treated timber it can’t be burnt in her coal fire. Perhaps I should try to sell it locally, that’s if I decide to do without it.
(great you Learned a new word! 🙂)
@leeCal I got through although there weren't any appointments for a couple of weeks. Never-mind. The NHS are under a lot of pressure at the moment aren't they?
Any goals for today everyone?
