What always makes you feel good about yourself?

Getting loving messages from my daughter and grandchildren.

A 'phone call from my Granddaughter.

Same here! She's 19 months and has just started on dragging mummy to the computer and very firmly saying 'greygra' she even grabs DDs face to make sure she's looking at her!

Lots of things make me feel good but about myself is more difficult. Perhaps when I achieve something I have never done before.

Such as?

Dealing effectively with difficult situations always gives me a sense of achievement which makes me feel good.

Same here baubles. A sense of achievement - no matter how big or small the difficulties. It IS a good feeling to have.

baubles and Butty ...you're so right!

When I sing - it has been my lifetime's joy and I am very lucky that my voice is holding up even at the grand old age of 64!

Getting my hair done x

Oh Mishap I love singing, I always have, even when I was little, I wanted to be a singer but my singing isnt too good unfortunatly, but I will still give it a go, I usually sing in the mornings to myself when I wake up for some reason--My Dad loved singing to himself so maybe thats were it came from x x

cheelu - why don't you find a local community choir? - they are great fun, non-auditioned and spreading all around the country. I am sure that there would be one near you.

Jeni if you are asking about new things I have achieved the most recent ones have been touching my toes with my legs straight and learning to get in and out of the swimming pool without using the steps and swimming 20 lengths. Can't do either at the moment with bad back

Getting overdue jobs done around the house (doesn`t happen very often!)

Wow! Not surprised you've got a bad back then. Touching your toes is VERT BAD for your back.

Mishap I am terrible with doing things like that I just wouldnt stick to it, and would be embarrased by my singing while others sang better than me.

It was a bit like when I went keep fit, it was so funny they were all going one way and I was going the other, just couldnt show my face again but I did laugh about it afterwards, honestly you should have been there it was really funny.. x

Having a good huck out in my house, so it is lovely and tidy with no unwanted stuff round.

It really wasn't touching my toes which did for my back. Seems to have been the flight to Schipol Jeni

Well don't try again when you're fit. ITS NOT A GOOD THING TO DO!

Yes Mum [suitably scolded emoticon]

Really can't do any more lists!

It's because you are suffering with pedantitis ariadne
