We say congratulations TO a person; congratulations ON an occasion/achievement.

Congratulations to Jenny! Congratulations on the birth of your new baby!

In your example, I would say "Congratulations to me!"

FrauSue is right, as always. And this might be followed up by a �Well done, me! �

as a native speaker, i can only tell you that i would never say either. but then, we native speakers are so modest!

The form that comes to mind for me is:
 
I must congratulate myself
I�d like to congratulate myself
I congratulate myself
 
See examples in these quotes from Frank McCourt , Dee Dee Ramone and William Cobbet
 
 
Cheers
