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.

What a clever idea!

Too hot, can't sleep! Yesterday's victory was gradually packing up the contents of my kitchen - 15 minutes at a time! Just two small cupboards to go, then it's finished! new kitchen units and appliances being delivered around 8am today - heaven knows exactly where they'll all go! Still, by the end of next week it should all be looking good!

It will all be worth it! I know when they did our double glazing it was hell for a few days but OOh the luxury --and my curtains don't blow around anymore

Having managed to sell our house after three years of being on the market, found a house to rent so we did not lose the sale (not a real rental house just vacant property and neighbour doing us a favour)

Have been here nearly six weeks and desperate to find a house we love- just found a possible house that came on the market a couple of days ago and going to view it with DH and one of the DDs this afternoon.

I so want to be settled and feel "at home" again.

Congrats on passing the exams/selling the houses etc etc and all the other wonderful victories!
I like this thread because it always makes me:D

My victory today was making a decision to stop worrying about the state of the clutter in my disorganised home AND making the choice to work/declutter on one room each week instead running around wearing myself out achieving absolutely nothing!

I've got nothing to lose and a week's work at a time will make a big dent in each room;)

I saw a quote yesterday in a magazine and it made me think of the victory of the day

"Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory"
Ghandi

What a lovely thread, I'll make sure to read it every day as a mood lifter

Today's victories for me are cleaning our table-top oven which was smoking up our entire house due to the layer of goopy awfulness stuck to the bottom :eek::eek:

Plus I count it as a personal victory that I've managed to grow my tiny little tomato plant sproutling which a girl from work gave me, and it's now getting to be quite some height It's the first plant which I've actually watered on a regular basis and managed to not kill within a week of it arriving in the house Hopefully it'll get some little flowers on it soon!

Inspired by the OS threads & everybody on here who is doing so well & working hard at reducing costs, I planted some salad leaves seeds a few weeks ago & this morning I picked my first ones & put them in my sandwich to take for lunch today:j

Also had 4 homegrown strawberries to eat with my breakfast

Aaaah can you hear that ... total peace... Dd, Dh and grandson have just gone out. Think the 2 adults make more noise than the baby. I now have 2 hours of me time to have a shower then get my sowing machine out. This is a real luxury at the mo. Dd may be moving out very soon and I am now imagining getting my craft room back and uncovering the floor in my bedroom. Time to daydream is a victory!
