My victory of [STRIKE]day[/STRIKE] this year is:
I've made an edible loaf of bread:j and it was sooooo tasty.
Finally worked out the right heat/time setting for my fan assisted oven, only taken 4 years!
Until now I had made loaf shape door stops, roll shaped rocks and bap shaped Frisbees :rotfl:
There be no stopping me now:D0 -
My victory today is baking a bread pudding that actually looks like a bread pudding and smells mmmm..........
Three pieces are winging their way to the Fil and Mil eeekkk! only time will tell if it passes the mother in law test:rotfl:OH will maybe give his seal of approval tonight...... it will be touch and go ......
It's great to read about everyone's "Victory of the day" makes me want to speak in a Churchill voice and say well done !:T
They are so varied and so personal - I wonder how many Victories will earn us our wings ?May you fill up the great clutterbucket of life and may all of your leaks be in cheese sauce

Hope you have a good day and manage to get up and about again. My Dh is in a similair position and we are looking forward to going out today for a couple of hours before I wear a path round the garden staring at my veg demanding they grow! Hope for a victory at Dunelm Mill, will keep you posted

I'm changing the decor of my living room slightly (on a budget of about 50p
) - my victory of today, or yesterday really, was repainting my morror frame. I saw one I loved in a designer shop for £750 :eek:
Painted my own using leftover paint from my last burst of creativity... and I have something even better, because I made it myself Nobody I'd rather be

Just been to Dunelm mill with a budget of a fiver and got a valance which matches my Tesco single quilt cover (Cath Kidston style) So Ican now turn the 2 into a double quilt cover. The valance was reduced from 23.99 to 3.99. I will soon have the sanctuary I desire and the whole rooms cost less than 20 pounds.Clearing the junk to travel light
