It’s my best daily living skill, but sometimes impulsivity rears its head. This has been one of those weeks.

I heard of a new genealogy dna site and just had to sign up. I was fascinated by the fact it tells you your ancient ancestry via the raw data you have. I uploaded my results from 5 companies and my father’s from one. It cost me £50.

I’m usually pretty good at finances too.
I’m usually good at managing my money, but sometimes I get in a spending sprees. I have to save money to last the month, so it’s hard to spend too much money on my hobbies. Luckily I live with my brother and he has been helping me out with money.
I can control my money around all my bills and needs except for one seemingly uncontrollable urge, and that is dining out at restaurants. I really have a hard time with my food and cooking. I’ve gone broke sooner every month due to my impulsive urge to buy ready made food. I’m working on it. I think loneliness may be a contributing factor.
I rarely dine out at a restaurant but eat out at a cafe every now and then. My big thing at my last address was having 3-4 takeaways a week. I’ve cut it down to about one a fortnight here. I cook, but its very basic ie put something in the oven and microwave pasta in sauce with sometimes some veg added to the pasta. I also have ready meals.
With more complex meals my care act assessment(with my stepdaughter’s input) says I’m able to do specific tasks like cutting veg but need support with sequencing meal preparation and cooking to produce a meal.

Yes thank you. I could do better if I learned to sequence my meal preparation in an orderly fashion. I just get overwhelmed when I think of all the steps involved in cooking what I can just go out and buy. But I need to learn sometime.
I have the same issue. I have difficulty with multi step tasks, which I think can be attributed to executive functioning deficits.

I think the best approach is to break down a complex sequence into easy steps - perhaps with the help of a carer - and write those steps on a paper sheet. Later you can refer to said paper when attempting to redo the complex task.
I don’t understand this chart
I’m pretty good with finances.
But if I become manic over an extended period of time, I may start to buy things on impulse.

The list I posted? It’s just me probably boring people with what may be pointers to my ancient ancestry.

I have about $300 on my credit card but I’ll pay that off this month. After that I won’t owe anybody a dime and I’ll have extra money in the bank.
I’ll be finally able to afford that diamond studded toilet paper holder I have always wanted.
