On Christmas Eve I planted 100 snowdrops bulbs – way later than the recommended time but I’m optimistic they won’t all have died in the bag.

For those who always wanted to write a diary
..... but could never stick to it.
In 2011 I started a Christmas scrapbook come diary which I call "Mucky Duck's Christmas Scraps." To make it colourful, I stick in bits of Xmas wrapping paper, cracker jokes, a few photos e.g. choosing the Xmas tree, new Christmas decorations etc. In different coloured pens I jot down memories of the year gone, New Year's resolutions, funny things people say, achievements, disappointments.
I do the jottings not by laying down in the bed at night like one does a a diary, but as and when the thought occurs (I have the scrap book open with coloured pens nearby). Anyone can jot a memory in the scrap book and I listen out for conversations about things that have happened that year. I prompt talk about things that have happened in the past year at the dinner table and have my scrap book open so I can jot memories down.
The key is that the scrap book is stored with the Christmas Decorations AND is put away on 6 Jan when the Christmas decorations go back into storage. This putting away on 6 Jan makes the endeavor ADHD friendly - its a short project with a deadline. Yet the diary is a special "decoration" for the family for years to come and it costs very little.
Its not a diary, but when I dropped my ADD perfectionist streak, its good enough.

I've been cooking!! (not burning things) Sometimes two things in one day!!!!
I can also see patches of floor!! (not just half of the stairs)
I keep saying, 'protein doesn't actually help with the root ADHD', but it sure as hell has made me more productive!

After almost failing my degree I was given a second chance to meet a deadline I'd consistently failed and I was awarded a 2:1

I got a job! Finally! And everyone seems nice, and it could be an awesome opportunity to advance my technical skills. The only problem is I'm terrified I won't be good enough... But I'm staying positive

I survived 2 weeks on a 43ft boat on the Norfolk broads!
I actually enjoyed it & got pretty good at driving it & parking it
Amazes me how we're all so different, thought I was being selfish doing all the driving & parking
turns out they were so relieved that I was happy 2 do it all
Obviously it didn't all go smoothly I accidentally sailed through a yacht race
I probably enjoyed that bit the most! Pretty sure my passengers didn't feel the same!
