I'll start the ball rolling with my good news that I paid off my overdraft this month this is the first time we haven't had one since we've been married and we've been married a loooooong time :rotfl:

Well done D&DD
I've updated my sig today. It's really put a smile on my face I thought that we were treading water this month - I'd forgotten that we'd paid a little extra off our CC at the start of the month :j

When can I update it again!!!

Thanks for this thread D&DD - I'm going to update my sig again to update the debt free day from June 2012 to Dec 2010 :j

Now I'm going to look at the freebies board and see if there's anything there for me today

Some more good news today for me :j

Received a letter from Orange (my previous mobile phone provider) to say that my now closed account is in credit of £18.90!

I will be receiving that in the next few weeks so my current account will be better off than I thought

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Wow, well done, that's a really big reduction in your DFD!

My good news this week - I got £187 performance bonus from my old employer for last year. Not bad as I haven't actually done any work for them since October 2004 (Legit - Mat leave and then redundancy).

Some lovely news on here today! :j

I had a phone call earlier....my car passed it's MOT with no extra spends to get it through!

And the mechanic managed to fix the problem I moaned about a few weeks ago of the internal fan not working - for free! (Apparantly it was a bad connection).

I am sooooo happy...I thought it could have been D-Day for the car today....possibly ending up at the big forecourt in the sky but I have a reprieve! :T

Just wanted to say a massive congrats to all who have had good news recently, no matter how small it all helps to drive the debt down!!

Also, thought I would mention that I have finally added my debt sig.....only cos its starting to look pretty decent

Thank you Alleycat! You are doing great and always post nice messages so I am very happy you now feel comfortable enough to put your debt details up!

That's good news in itself

Well, I've been posting on this board now since Augustish last year but have only in the last 6 months really cracked the whip with our debts. Previously we were doing okay, meeting payments etc but now I just want it cleared asap as it will allow us to move to London near my folks.

Anyway, Moozie you have come an awful long way since you started here. It really is amazing the turnaround for so many of us. Not just in pounds, but in attitude and positivity.
