Red Squirrel Feb 2016 4:01pm, 10 Feb 2016 18,976 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel I posted this morning but my work computer froze. So anyway: The BF and I are hosting a big Sunday lunch for his family so I intend to use that for a couple of culinary challenges. Maybe a vege dish while he does the main meat event or a complicated starter and pud/s. These will all be dishes new to me but we’ll discuss them first and I’ll trial them small-scale for us both.
sallykate Feb 2016 4:02pm, 10 Feb 2016 4,206 posts	Quote Pin sallykate It took me months to get through the first ten sessions. I had to do it first thing in the morning before anyone else was awake and found that impossible to turn into a daily habit.
Sharkie Feb 2016 4:02pm, 10 Feb 2016 8,670 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie The ten minute free thingy was pretty good and doable, I thought. I was so convinced afterwards I signed up for a year. I'm not very good at sitting still and just, er, being. I did find the 'focus' course that was a choice once I'd signed up, useful. It was all in aid of me sprinting because I'm like that.
Red Squirrel Feb 2016 4:05pm, 10 Feb 2016 18,977 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel I’ve been using Headspace for a while now. I recommend reading the book before embarking on the sessions. I did the free stuff then signed up for the foundation and am working my way through the other sections with occasional on-the-go ones used when needed. It’s been life-changing for me.

becca7 Feb 2016 4:13pm, 10 Feb 2016 6,593 posts	Quote Pin becca7 The ones that I have in mind are also culinary (a new recipe or ingredient), exercises (if I've not already done every sort of plank, crunch, press up and lunge during the months when I couldn't run), puzzles (all the ones that I don't do in the paper that I buy every day) and routes. Thursday is my hill run day so I will find a nice one in Nottingham that I haven't run up before.
Surelynot Feb 2016 4:21pm, 10 Feb 2016 844 posts	Quote Pin Surelynot Great thread this. I will be making fish cakes this evening. Not completely new but I've not made them in a long while. I also plan to do more mindfullness practice. Stretching properly is another thing I will be doing.

McGoohan Feb 2016 4:54pm, 10 Feb 2016 21,485 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan My youngest (aged 7) has been learning Danish as we have done/are doing cycle expeditions to Denmark and had a family hol there as well. He's done the Duolingo course. Maybe... I'll do the same.
