I did the Gold Duke of Edinburgh's award, but couldn't go to the ceremony because my mum was ill. Ceremonies aren't really my thing though, but I went to my graduation one because my mum would have wanted me to.

I should probably be most proud of getting my Masters degree, but actually, right now, I'm really proud of the ceiling I plastered! Laughing

I know that is probably a bit silly, but I just love having so many bits of our house that we did ourselves: without that, it would have cost so much more, and we wouldn't have been able to do everything the way we wanted it.

I was pretty pleased about how the pub ride went this year. I was far more relaxed and actually enjoyed it. I think I've achieved something!

1. Having my 3 beautiful, loving (at the moment) children
2. Giving birth to 2 of them without pain relief and to all 3 whilst staying completely calm (I could be a scientologist if I believed in aliens!)
3. Setting up my business with no capital, it is small, but not in debt.
4. Surviving a nearly fatal illness 2 days after having my daughter 18 months ago - I had strep A, blood poisoning, 2 big operations and tubes out of my neck and arms, 15 minute obs for 2 weeks, scans & x-rays and every anti-biotic known to man. AND I didn't complain once!

Sometimes I do wish that I had qualifications to be proud of, but then that would be judging myself by someone elses standards.

there are loads of things i look upon with a bit of a sense of achievement, it would be hard to pick one thing

getting to wales i suppose is one, singing at snape maltings in a real opera is another

repairing the fencing the other day was an achievement for me as i did it without mr nanny's help

making butter

all kinds of things

Oh goodness the trouble is, events happen that make me happy, sad, proud etc etc. And then the next instalment comes along and takes over.

So easy to get caught up in everyday life and overlook/forget the really important things.

My biggest sense of achievement has to be bringing up two children solo and seeing them grow into wonderfully mature and loving adults.

I am very proud of them and their fortitude Very Happy
