    I just found this thread - what a lovely idea!

    Can I add mine - came back from holiday 10days ago, washed and dried everything in 3 days but couldn't get myself motivated to do the pile of ironing but I started last night :)

    Filled 5 large black bin bags with shoes, clothes accessories, books videos DVD's etc and they were collected by the British Heart Foundation this morning. I also bought 4 new tops (new to me) from the British Heart Fundation last week. and the whole lot cost less than £20. Victory is indeed mine!

  • My victory is that I have finally done a menu plan, and shopping list for homemade weightwatchers meals :p. I have several recipe books that I have been given, I've been going for 10 weeks and can't stand or afford to buy the proper WW meals anymore. This morning I sat down and looked at the recipes, and the best thing is that I can make a lot of recipes without buying anything extra, so I will be doing that yay:D

    I need to make my food last as long as possible, I've been a bit careless with my spending for the last couple of months...............................:o

    And I'm fed up of eating the same old thing!
    KEEP CALM AND keep taking the tablets :cool2:

    well done with the homemade WW meals - now thats certainly a victory!

    My Dd was moving her bedroom - my old craft room - round and found another box of my stuff - jam packed with cross stitch fabric and completed x stitches am so pleased with it. Feeling a lot more positive today. Lots of new babies in the family on the way so am going to do them x stitched Christmas pressies. :T:T:T

  • Love this thread, my mini-victories are what keep me going at the moment, an awful lot are food related ;)

    Here's one - I made a homemade Victoria Sponge for the first time in years - a really lovely OS pleasure.

    My victory I've costed it out at £1 - it'll give 12 pieces, compared to my usual shop bought cake which costs 99p and gives 4 servings. So I reckon I'm 3:1 up plus it tastes like gourmet cooking :rotfl:

    My victory has to be finding mse and Old style and having the confidence to start posting. I haven't ever seen such a useful and relevant website. I have even been chatting some people in the arms which I would never have thought I could have done. May seem a small victory but for me its very important.

    Oh and I have bathed my dog
