I've had to buy a new washing machine today which will be delivered later today.

Its silly but I feel proud of myself for getting it all sorted so effectively and hopefully efficiently.

Just wondering what adulting achievements you have accomplished this week?

I bet it’s a bloody tough job, so much choice, you should feel proud.

I’ve had the first of my two weeks off, and I haven’t behaved like an adult, which is probably the most adult thing I could have done. Don’t know if that makes much sense. I spend my life being an adult, it’s nice to take my foot off the gas sometimes.

You win, that's especially hard at any time, even more so with the extra emotion.

Your adulting confidence will be shattered if you don’t take the transit bolts out. Lol.

Went to a well known DIY store and purchased £1500 pounds worth of flooring, loaded it into my car.

Drove home, unloaded it all into the hallway.

Now im just sat staring at it and wishing I never bothered

I went to a weekend of gigs by myself. Love live music but first time I've gone on my own. Knew a couple of folk there and made some new friends too.

I went to the pharmacy for more painkillers and bought enough soup to feed me the rest of the week.

That counts right? X

Tackled a wild hedge I have been putting off till the birds moved out, only got one branch in the eye which split my eyelid.

Part adult achievement with a schoolboy error thrown in…

Well done everyone....

You have done great. If you feel it is an adulting win no matter how small, it is .

Tomorrow is another day if not...I plan on being my naughty bratty self again tomorrow... can't get carried away with all this grown up nonsense

I pretended to be the grown up at at work. Like I always do. I sorted the family out. Like I always do. I made flat pack furniture. I organised the workmen. I called the electrician. Isn't this just what people do? I'm confused? Would happily have bought a washing machine. Seems easy. *shrugs*

Loaded a large skip with fence panels & concrete posts plus loads of other stuff, shifted 1 tonne of hardcore from the front to the back & chiselled plaster off the floor to prep it for being screeded..

I’m not loving adulting atm.
