If I do say so myself.

It was quite a good year if I do say so myself.


What does it mean exactly? Couldn't find the idiom.

It's used in a context where a person is praising himself but does not want to sound boastful. eg I'm the best student in my English class, if I do say so myself. I don't see a context like this in your post.
