It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

Despite everyone being particularly ratty today, managed to have a really nice two-and-a-half hour fancy lunch at the RSC rooftop restaurant in Stratford-upon-Avon with the children.

This sounds like a major accomplishment to me. Go you!

Ha, thanks! I have slowly been learning that if we set out our expectations clearly before we go into these things, they usually behave quite a bit better than if we don't explain what's happening beforehand. So we said that we were going to a posh restaurant, there would be no phones, they had to sit down nicely and they would only be able to order dessert if they had behaved during the meal. This appears to have been sufficient motivation! :P

I think that's a mistake I often make, not preparing my eldest enough about what to expect sometimes. Will try to do better, thanks for the inspiration.
