Cold showers.
I’ve started a new job and had a busy few weeks getting in to. Tonight I clocked off at 5 with a bit of a headache, the kids were loud and argumentative and all in all it was a stressy environment.
Just spent five minutes in an ice cold shower and feel a million times better. Headache gone, lethargy from the day vanished.

Going to the gym and actually being methodical about it. I've always been methodical when it comes to running and for a long period kept progressing. However when it came to the gym I would go for a couple of weeks, try loads of stuff, feel like I was getting nowhere and give up then repeat the process a few months later. This time I have a set routine of 4 mornings a week, different target area every day and a core of 5 or 6 exercises per session. For the first couple of weeks you feel like you are going to get bored but then you start to feel the reps getting easier and you can increase the weight, you can feel yourself getting a bit stronger and you can notice little changes to your body shape. Suddenly what threatened to be boring becomes anything but because that consistency is what gets results. It's really motivating.
Also just pottering about prepping food. I can't stand food waste and try to avoid it wherever possible. I can happily spend hours on a Sunday chopping and freezing leftover onions, blanching carrots and celery and freezing them, chopping potatoes into roasties or chips, parboiling them and freezing them and so on. I made a simple pasta sauce the other night and made a soffritto for the base entirely out of frozen stuff that was destined for the bin otherwise, finished it with some basil that I had also torn up and frozen in an ice cube tray with some olive oil. Only additional cost to make it was £1.20 on a tin of peeled tomatoes.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Tinned tomatoes are double the price they were two years ago.

Winding up the car crash scammers. The phone number is usually Edinburgh and the accent always foreign. They lie to me, so I lie to them.
Working for a s*x shop and describing what was damaged gets a quick hang-up in the other end. As does "I died in the crash".
The best one, and here I challenge you, was telling one that my wife died in the crash yesterday. She cried down the phone. And, no, I'm not sorry.

Admittedly, I don't miss them much. I never used the wheel one as it would only heat the portions of the wheel you're meant to hold and I'm more of a 12 o'clock and gearstick driver than a 10 and 2 position driver.
I do miss the corsa though! Was a great wee car!Mon the Hibs.

My 1 year old Grand Daughter doing sign language, unbelievable to see her sign for “more” “thank you” “all done” her brain is an absolute sponge, I see her developing those skills at the same time I forget what I done yesterday 🤣

World book day.
I know it gets a bit of a slagging because 'kids all just go dressed up as film characters' but I loved seeing all the bairns in their outfits.
More than that it's important. My daughter has loads of books and came home from school delighted to have 2 more. But 1 in 5 children won't own a book so to get tokens to pick up a couple at school or in a bookshop is great.
In a time when you can access almost any story you want online there is something good about kids getting excited about books.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

People replying to the Kensington Palace X account re the Photoshop thing as if Kate herself is actually sitting at a desktop waiting on notifications.
Honestly it's both deranged and hilarious.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years
