Life’s ‘top 50 little victories’ include being served first at bar and a surprise work payrise

Daily Star

Getting into fresh bedding at the end of the day, receiving a surprise pay rise at work and being served first at the bar are among life’s little victories.

Researchers polling 2,000 Brits have revealed the top 50 list of wins – which also includes finding money down the back of the sofa/in a pocket or handbag, arriving at a packed car park just as someone leaves and getting to leave work early.

Other ‘punch the air’ moments are getting the washing in before it starts to rain and when two chocolates fall out of the vending machine when you only paid for one.

Almost a quarter said hearing their favourite song on the radio was the highlight of their day, while 27 per cent agreed getting a surprise pay rise really boosted their mood.

Peter Bennett, for fair online casino and bingo site PlayOJO, who commissioned the research, said: “It’s interesting to see from the research that achieving even one little victory is enough to make anyone’s day better.

“As a brand we believe in being playful and celebrating life’s little wins, so it’s great to see people having a little dance and generally having fun to celebrate their little victories.”

Researchers found even getting a free cup of coffee, putting comfy clothes on at the end of the day and nailing the Sunday roast are considered wins.

While others admit they feel a sense of achievement if they manage to leave work early or bring the washing in before the heavens open.
