Need to share my achievement

Good Morning Everyone

Just wanted to share something with someone.

After a long divorce I purchased my own property in October & have been busily updating/renovating it whilst working full time ever since. I’m so happy to say I’m having the last couple of carpets fitted today & can now take my foot off the gas lol. At 52 I’ve discovered DIY skills I never thought I had & I cannot believe how proud of myself I am (hence the share). With mental health issues I do find it hard to give myself any credit, but I am really going to try to soak this all up & digest just what I’ve achieved. Sorry if this post is a little different but I feel like shouting from the rooftops lol x

Well done you. You have now proved to yourself how you can learn new things and manage on your own. You deserve to shout it from the roof tops. Amazing job and it will inspire others.. Sit back now and enjoy what you have achieved.

Well done you! Be proud of yourself for your achievements. You’re a wonderful example of what hard work and perseverance is all about. As a reward buy yourself a new DIY tool….or a special plant or bush for your garden…..every time you use it or look at it you should say to yourself ‘Well Done Me’ …..I deserve it!

I’m thinking of a rhododendron I think this is a great idea thankyou xx

Wow, well done you, from someone who finds the whole idea of house maintenance completely overwhelming ☹
