When I have had a complete day of eating healthily - not a thing that happens very often!! wink

Anything that I think I should do as opposed to what I actually want to do.

cleaning the oven is another one!

Saying 'no thank you' when DH suggested we went for tea and cake at the garden centre this afternoon (we'd just gone to look at plants).

Bathroom cleaning! ?

Just finished my pet hate - the ironing - halo shining as brightly as mollie's ?

Oddly, I feel very pleased with myself when I collect the empty bins after the binmen have been. If it’s empty it means I got the right bin out on the right day and in time...not always an easy feat! Lol!

'decoked' is that a typo or a regional expression kitty ?
I stand my oil bottles in an empty foil tray BTW.
Seeing clean laundry blowing on the line makes me feel virtuous.

I'm feeling excessively virtuous as I've just decoked the cupboard where I keep the oil. Yuck.

That made me feel so good that I did the pan drawers too!! Unfortunately I can't do any more because I'm going to the cinema in a minute!

Halo polishing is good!! Thank you mollie

Clearing out a cupboard or throwing out old clothes.

Tidying the spice and herbs racks

Emptying the ironing basket or cleaning the windows. After either of those I polish my halo grin

I have just finished my Spanish homework for my next lesson. I now feel very virtuous!
Dusting also makes me feel good - mostly because I hate doing it so much that when I actually get to it, the feeling lasts for days/weeks/months grin
