Victory of the day

ginnyknit

Had a few success's with my new breadmaker and only one failure. Today it was gingercake - more like a bread, just need to defrost the whoopsied butter and it will be lovely.

My names Ginny and Im addicted to warm fresh bread with real butter

I just made miso soup for the first time ever and it was ever so good (if I may say so myself:D) and also I had never tasted it b4 but had heard good things about it and got some paste from the supermarket heavily reduced so gave it a go. I also cobbled together my own recipe from others as i wanted to use what I had on hand rather then going to the supermarket. I am now going to make a big batch up and keep in the fridge to have every day- but add the greens and paste fresh with every bowl so its healthier. Yum yum!!!!!!!!!!!!

A picnic by a stream yesterday with a special someone - idyllic - in the rain!

Good for you:T If we let the rain stop us doing things, we'd never step outside the door for most of the year!:rotfl:

Its not a victory but to me it feels like it, I found a single lovely, plump and very deep green courgette in my garden. Its the only one so far, my DD has taken a liking to saving pips and seeds from any fruit to see if she can grow from it.

If i can stop my ds from picking the carrots before they are ready then that would be my real victory!

Mine starts off not so much as a victory...

Got the bus earlier, paid for my £2.90 ticket with 3 pound coins... And waited... And waited... As the driver glared at me and finally told me to sit down.:mad: I asked about my change and she said she had no 10p pieces. After a very long pause she eventually agreed to give it to me when I got off.

Got to my stop - still no 10p coins, nor any 20p or 50p... I got off the bus without my change, fuming, with the driver saying to the passenger behind me "It's only 10p, don't know what she's so annoyed about". :eek:

Anyway, a few minutes later I discover a shiny 5p on the pavement Then about 5 steps later, a 20p

So, it turned into a victory in the end

Still annoyed about my 10p though

I was feeling fed up earlier,had no reason to feel that way as the sun was shining but couldn't shake the feeling.

Anyway I decided to go for a little walk and see if I could get some cuttings for a hedge that I am trying to plant when I spotted what was I thought was cigarette packet that had been thrown away.I bent down to throw it into the litter bin when I discovered it was a twenty pound note.

Cheered me up no end :j

Relative newbie here, but been reading and getting inspired by you all to take note of when the little things go right.....and I have literally just realised I now have a 'Victory' all of my own! :j

My victory today is finding all my old CD albums about half an hour ago when I thought they'd gone walkabout and realising that I can put them all (well, the songs I like anyway!) onto my sadly mostly empty iPod without spending a penny! :money:

Still really want Jace Everett's Bad Things, will perhaps get it tomorrow - if I get around to making a first attempt at HM bread, it can be my little 'treat' to myself LOL :T

ETA - the iPod filling will have to wait until tomorrow, iTunes is taking far too long to get the info from the CDs

I am so chuffed, I have a flower on my pumpkin plant and teeny tiny corn cobs on my sweetcorn. Suddenly all that nurturing and care seems worth it!

I went to Mr S this morning and only bought what was on my list! I didn't let myself be tempted - well I did, but I put them back on the shelf instead of buying! :rotfl:

Life has been a bit of a struggle for the last 18 months or so but I think I see light at the end of the tunnel:)
