Proud of myself
Jump to: Newest in thread
I've recently started trying my hand at baking.
Made kinder blondies today and brown soda bread which turned out so good.
Did a little happy dance when the bread came out looking perfect 
What have you done lately that you were proud of yourself for? |

I held down a conversation with a woman I'm interested in without crying, saying something horrifying or running away! |

That sounds really brilliant, well done you. As you know I am a bit of a foodie so that is pleasing to hear. As for me, well I started to sort out stuff that needing doing and had put on the back-burner for a while but also, which is unlike me, told someone where to go as they deserved it and that did feel good too.  |

She knows me fairly well. I'm hoping the fact I didn't make excuses to get away has given her a little hint but, if not... I have a plan! |

Nice! I love a bit of baking... or making anything at home from scratch really.
I attended my first ever social event at the weekend despite every fiber of my being telling me to run away It was great! |

"Well done! Love Soda Bread but so hard to find it here 
Erm, recently pushed myself mentally to buy a car as I have this weird thing about spending money. "
Can you get your hands on wholemeal flour? You could make it yourself! I have a super easy recipe.
It's daunting spending large amounts of money so well done you |

Baking is certainly something I'd like to improve in. I'm pretty rubbish at it.
The description of your results has me watering now  |

Sometimes the best things come from pushing outside our comfort zone, well done for being brave! |

Changed how a government section operates. Bought in new legislation and it all started on Monday. Took 5 years though.
I completed my care certificate last week. |

Ahh I’m terrible at baking. Well done OP! Isn’t lovely when you realise you can still surprise yourself!
What have I done recently that I’m proud of - something creative. I’ve moved into a professional arena that I’ve always wanted to work in, but never really thought I could. But to my surprise, I’ve taken to it like a duck to water and I’ve received some lovely praise from some very professional people. It’s given me a real boost, and I’m excited for all the projects that might be coming next |

"I like baking when I get my ass in gear. 
I just don’t like eating cake? 
I’m proud of passing a couple of exams/test lately. 
Any cake?
That's brilliant, well done "
Birthday cake is the worst….  but yeah, most cake I do not like. Although I can tolerate a Victoria sponge, and that’s because of workin a bakery that was my thing I had to learn and do. |

Kinder Blondies? Gimme!
I've booked a holiday abroad for the first time in over 10 years. It's a bit of a brag, but I'm proud of overcoming the mental block to explore a bit more |

Well done!
I’m rubbish at baking. I made cupcakes with the kids recently and you would have lost a tooth trying to eat them
Probably standing up for myself after putting up with snidey remarks from someone for weeks. It felt nice to get it off my chest |

So you're saying you could probably lift me? That's impressive "
I mean if that's an invitation I'd certainly like to |

I hand quilted a couple of patchwork quilts that I made; from scratch and posted the finished articles on insta.
One is a Sashiko quilt with 16 different hand stitched panels!
A double Irish chain in the colours of the Irish flag and a Kaffe Fassett rainbow quilt.
I absolutely LOVE making quilts |

Yey, can you send some brownies my way please!
I finally sewn my 1st book ready to bind (I haven't written it) I'd been putting it off and off but did it Monday and I'm super pleased.
Now I'll put the rest off for several weeks.

I joined the gym and actually did my 2 inductions and then Went on my on accord last night!
Not a big deal for most but I’ve not stepped foot in a gym for about 17 years so this is an achievement for me!
