I phoned my car insurance company after I received my renewal and managed to get them to drop it by £26 so it is cheaper than last years.

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
I went Go karting for the first time today for my brothers birthday.
Considering that I haven't been behind a wheel since I passed my driving test 8 years ago, I was a little anxious to begin with. I did the first 15 minute lap and actually felt a bit sick during the break before the second leg. I even said I didn't think I wanted to get back in the kart.....but I pushed myself to do it and I actually really enjoyed the second part. I took more risks....beat my last lap time. My brother and boyfriend even said they were impressed which means a lot....especially as my brother is a real petrol head. He said at one point I blocked him from overtaking me and then I shot off....well happy with that I even bought discount tickets to do it again within the next 3 months. It was easier for me due to the fact that there was only me, my bro, my dad and my bf on the track. However....now I have tried it....I would definitely feel more confident doing it a second time and with more people |

^ Well done, I'd love to do go-karting
Took my car out round the bypass today as I've not been out in it for a few weeks Replaced my cracked mirror glass too, and used my new car vac which works better than I expected |

I went to a counselling session on Saturday to talk and have hypnosis. I do this once a month and although it's hard talking about being bullied, social anxiety, self harming etc it seems to be helping.

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
Today I had an interview for a job that would have pushed me so far out of my freakin comfort zone. I didn't get it, but I did get amazing feedback on how I did and the fact I even applied and saw it through feels like a massive achievement.
It feels a bit like the pinacle of some big changes in my life over the past year or so. Things have been pretty bleak at times for me mentally for a while now so it feels great to be at some kind of turning point. |

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
I don't this is so much of an achievement as an indicator of how much has changed for me over the past year or so; today, I attended a busy trade fair at the NEC and instead of trying to blend into the background, I was approaching exhibitors, asking for deals, initiating conversations about what they could do for my organisation (although it is quite funny watching the high-end hoteliers starting to approach then seeing "Travel on a Budget" printed on my badge and backing off!). I also got to say a brief hello to a celebrity who was one of the speakers there and I have to say that Angela Rippon still has a great pair of legs at the age of 73!

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
I feel bad for feeling happy about this (because my poor dog had to go) but I went to the vets today, I had to talk and take charge of the conversation I can't remember the last time I actually went in to the surgery, I've always got my Mum to take my dog there. I feel really proud and pleased I was there for Ted.

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
^ One of my CBT tasks recently was to catch a bus. I've now done it 3 times (I usually just drive everywhere).
Well done, BTW! |

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
@Dimples, sorry I missed the post about Ted until now - I'm sure he appreciates your courage and I hope he's fully recovered now.
@Airelee & limey, I used to have massive issues with public transport, so I know what you've both had to overcome. Airlee, you're right, the bus is ridiculously expensive, it's no wonder that parents drive their kids everywhere! |

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
Again this is yesterday, but I'm still counting it!:
Drove to a nearby town and picked up my nephew, came back and went into town to post a parcel. Later on gave my brother a lift to a farm 30 mins away with my newphew, then took them back into town after. Drove my nephew back home in the evening |

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
Thanks to you too
He chucked it in a sack, I'm guessing the person at the sorting place won, unless there was music playing there too... |

I went for a job interview on Tuesday and I got the job which will be permanent. It will be the same place I temped at for 6 months. Not sure when the start date is yet but I've got a health assessment this Tuesday.
