3 Good Things (again)

1. Did a big clear out and found loads of cool stuff - as is the way! 

2. Downloaded some more books onto my Kobo (thank you 99p sale) and I’m going to be reading the Game Changer series

3. Didn’t push myself to cook and got a yummy takeaway instead 

Good point.

Fingers crossed  

1. Been keeping my anxiety at bay  

2. Took my time going round the shops and got everything on my shopping list! 

3. Completed a nice outdoor build on my animal crossing island- I’ve never really done much of that so I am very proud of myself! 

I'll send her a private message and see what happens. 

If not, make a new post! Maybe say what you are looking for -like how often you'd enjoy responses as I know that's important for you. 

I would ask them if they still want to have a pen pal.

I recognise you.

I think others will too.

It shouldn't be a complicated ask.

Good luck.(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

My previous account there was a new member who was interested in being my pen pal. Unfortunately the person didn't get back in touch (think the forum was having technical problems with private messages); what should I do? 

I just realized pho soup is from Vietnam.  Bon appétit for the amazing spaghetti bolognese! 

This is awesome! Thai soup sounds incredible  

1. Got a lot of Uni stuff done which I had been dreading! 

2. Feeling a bit less disassociated after the weird in between days of Christmas and new year, actually realising it’s January now! 

3. Made a spaghetti bolognese which was my best one yet! 

Thank you !! It felt so daunting but we came to a happy medium in terms of volume so that was really nice! Trying not to over explain myself this year and just ask for things that I need 

Wishing you a happy new year! 

1. Got out of shutdown! Still resting!

2. Today will talk on the phone with a new friend, hope it will go well.

3. I will do some light yoga and order Thai soup, the pho meet soup with rice noodles!

I even asked them to turn the music down a bit when I felt overwhelmed which I’m not usually good at !

So cool to read this!  I wish to practise this! Congrats and Happy New Year!

Completed my jigsaw puzzle yesterday and got frustrated. Two missing pieces. 

That is very frustrating. I got the kids one at a jumble sale and there were loads of missing pieces. So I made ones out of card and used the picture on the box to figure out what it should be. It's not perfect but it helped it feel more complete.

(I also felt bad for the puzzle, so it was good to make it whole again.)

Starting again a fresh on the community forum. The reason joined as had problems with postal pen pals.

Supporting local libraries and still use the telephone box book exchange.

Completed my jigsaw puzzle yesterday and got frustrated. Two missing pieces. 

It tasted good. I’m not sure I liked it enough where I’d want to eat it again though (or go out of my way to access one rather)

Making a pledge to post on this thread more, because I think it will do me good in the new year to highlight the little positives in my life so here goes- 

- Spent the day with my boyfriend’s family and we had a lovely meal together- I even asked them to turn the music down a bit when I felt overwhelmed which I’m not usually good at ! 

- Got to play a bit of my switch today and experienced new year in animal crossing for the first time! 

- My boyfriend was telling me how proud he is of me and it felt really nice  

This looks lovely! How did it end up tasting? Hopefully delicious!
