I thought I'd pop in & quickly get a paper today on my way home, by the time I'd got past the unfeasibly large queue and made my purchase I saw my bus go by.
A little defeat.
However a minute ago when I was trying to put a bag in the big cupboard I knocked a bottle and managed to catch it in my hand as it fell.
A little victory.
What have been your little defeats or victories of late?
I logged onto BCG only to be greeted with a lack of activity on the boards.
A little defeat.
Steve Sunshine created this thread.
A little victory.
Got my Freedom Pass for free travel around London.

Got no time to go into London, and with the heat am less inclined to.
A little defeat.
(Ok, I couldn't think of anything else.)
I often find that when I'm working on my sitcom, if I have an idea, then forget it, I come up with about 3 or 4 new ideas while I'm trying to remember the original one. If and when I do remember the original idea, nine times out of ten, the new ones are way better than it.
At a party last week, I saw someone wearing this sort of tessellated pattern, and I thought it was just the sort of thing I wanted on a tee shirt.
But I can't find anything like it anywhere. Ultimately defeated by lack of knowledge.
I ordered a pretty expensive take-away sushi dinner for a treat last night and when it still hadn't arrived half an hour after it was supposed, I rang the restaurant up. They'd mislaid the order. 
But they promised to have it made up, fresh, and delivered in twenty minutes with a 50% discount. Result! It was very nice btw.
A little victory - after months if not years of procrastination I bought a recordable DVD player today.
A little defeat - while driving home from the TV shop, a pound coin dropped out of my pocket and rolled somewhere where I just can't find it.

Are you being rude?
A little defeat - getting to the checkout and discovering I had left my purse at home.
A little victory - saving money by leaving my purse at home and not buying things I didn't need anyway.
Defeat: I've still got my cough I've had for over a week.
Victory: I got one of my pictures put onto canvas and it looks great (if I say so myself)
