What's your little win for this weekend?

I have just found £160 in an old wallet that ive not used for 6 months.

Although it's not really a win, the wife said we can use it to pay for paint and decorate the living room.

Note to self, don't be so open when finding spare cash!

  • Started a "community support" projects group with friends. We schedule a day to descend upon one of our houses and take care of whatever tasks need to be done - painting, yard work, home repairs, etc. It takes very little time with three or more people dividing the work, and we can chat and joke the whole time. We got a lot done, had fun together, and we're done by early afternoon.

    Next weekend everyone is coming here to help cut up a fallen tree, and the weekend after we are renovating another friend's small dayroom.

    • That's a brilliant idea.

      I've pondered whether we need a Good Deeds community as well as !goodnews@feddit.uk -this feels like something that would fit in and inspire others.

      • It's a great way to turn work into a fun social activity.

        • It is indeed. My friends came round when I MVD into my new place and it was a frenzy of papering and painting. Got.mkre dine in a day or so then I've managed in a year as it is easy to go "I'm tired, I'll crack on tomorrow".

    • Are you open to membership? I'd like to join.

      • It wasn't my idea and it's an inherited friend group (they are my partner's friends) but you are more than welcome to grab this idea and run with it!
