What makes you feel virtuous?

Waking up after an alcohol free evening!

A lovely line of washing!

Defrosting the freezer. I hate this job but feel all smug when I can put everything back and close the drawers properly!

All of the above but most satisfying is a line full of washing, especially when it’s white for some reason.
What a lovely idea Frannytoo, that’s given me food for thought. That deserves feelings of virtuosity.

love beige
How have you managed to lose the weight? I’m weighing in at 10st 7lb far far too heavy for my height, vertically challenged!!

Defrosting the freezer. I really have to be in the right mood but so elated once it is done

Oh Mollie .....an empty ironing basket...I wish!!

Spring cleaning!

Coming home from Mass on the Sundays we make the effort and get here!

Writing thank you letters, or dreadful task, letters of condolence - hideous to do, but I found I really appreciated the time and effort others had put in to them following bereavements in our family.

Any kind of decluttering

With you grandMattie except my homework is Dutch. Making it to the gym to swim before 06.30. Clearing my wardrobe into junk and charity bags. Cleaning the oven. I’d love to feel virtuous about losing weight.?

Clearing out the cupboards, cleaning the windows inside, and doing the ironing.

A journey to take junk to the tip recycling centre.

I never feel virtuous. When I complete one task I am only too aware that there are another 10 on the To Do list. I try to live by the mantra that 'Good Enough gets more done', but there is no satisfaction in doing things that are less than perfect.

I could have gone shopping this afternoon but decided to stay in and clear up masses of paperwork [halo]
However, I have just looked on GN so

For me it's cleaning out the inside of my car and clearing out cupboards and drawers. Have just done both so my halo is shining brightly.

A rechargeable hand-held window cleaning vacuum thingy is an absolute godsend for cleaning the windows. I used to detest window cleaning and paid a window cleaner but after moving to a bungalow I felt I couldn't really justify the cost when no ladders are involved.
Then I purchased a window vacuum... and voila! Clean windows in few minutes and no smears.
Why did I never find one of these years ago when I spent ages doing the inside of the windows?

Decluttering drawers and wardrobes makes me feel good.

Hildegard , I am the same weight as you, I am also vertically challenged, I would feel very virtuous if I could lose 2lbs, it might encourage me to continue to lose more

Getting through the ‘to do’ list makes me feel a bit virtuous.

But the idea of feeling virtuous reminds me of a fabulous word used by Alison Pearson in the ‘Telegraph ‘ yesterday when she referred to the perpetually virtue signalling classes as ‘the Sanctimorium’. Terrific and spot on.

Sorry, noticed the typo:-sanctimonium.

Cornergran ?

Cleaning the oven the only problem is when I have cleaned it I hate the though of using it

Oh dear, I don’t think I ever feel virtuous. Certainly doing household tasks doesn’t have that effect, I just feel I’ve wasted time that could have been spent doing something interesting.

I'm another who never feels virtuous. Even if I get things done that need doing, there are another 101 things on the list. If I live to be 100 I don't think I will ever get straight again. I live in a mess as I am a natural hoarder. I used to ignore it but now just hate it. I am so disappointed with myself.

I felt (briefly) virtuous tonight when I won a raffle prize and choose body lotion instead of chocolates, which I have given up for Lent.
