If you can't work out how to solo mine properly you can always use http://solo.ckpool.org/.
They charge a 0.5% fee, but you don't have to host a full node in order to mine.

Greetings and apologies for posting what I'm sure seems like a ridiculous question, but how does one know ( apart from checking ones wallet of course )they have successfully mined a block using bfgminer while it is running?
The reason I ask is I read that the AS: (accepted shares ) is always 0 when mining solo and will show AS:1 when it's mined a block. Ive been using solo ckpool with bfgminer. Now about 30 mins ago I just checked bfgminer to see how it was going and noticed a 1 next to the AS like this AS:1 but that 1 turned into a 0 right before my very eyes in the space of 4 - 5 seconds.
Is that normal?
Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me please
Many thanks in advance

AS is not accepted shares, you should be watching the A value. Have a look here:
Code:
ST: Work in queue
F: Network Failures
NB: New blocks detected
AS: Shares in submission process
BW: Bandwidth (up / down)
E: # of shares * difficulty / 2kB of bandwidth
U: Shares per minute
BS: Best Share (highest difficulty block solved)
Line 6 - Combined Device Info
Number of active mining devices (2 in this picture)
3 Speed numbers in Mh/s
First speed is last 5s avg speed
Second speed is All Time Average (for this program run)
Third speed is Effective Average (actual performance taking into account failures etc)
A: Accepted Shares
R:0+0: Rejected Shares + Discarded shares (and percent of total)
HW: Hardware errors (total number / percent of total)
