The Good News Thread...

Last night I was lurking and having a good catch up for a while when I realised I had not posted any good news for ages :eek:

I think it's mainly down to the fact that this week has been a bit hard and I have not been feeling as positive as before but I am building up again :j

So I can happily report two good things that happened this week:

1. I transferred my part of the joint OD from Barclays (APR 15.6%) to A&L (APR 0% for 12 months). Nice saving which will impact on my DFD

2. Today I used £20 of my £2 coins to pay a bit off my credit card, which is on 0% until July.

So I feel like I have achieved something and I am now really looking forward toa good weekend

Keep working at it, we are winning! :T

I've just realised why this thread is so fab, I'm sat here trying to think what I can do so I have good news to tell, it makes me do things to get fab results just so I can then say about it on this thread. Can't think of anything for today yet but its not even 11am yet so I have plenty of time yet.

Bothered!

My good news is that I have started the £2 savings this week and I have £8 already !! :j and I am working on my SOA to post later ! :T

Well done everyone! It's pay day today and i've been fighting with myself whether to go shopping at lunchtime. Reading this has cured me of the urge!

Just paid £300 off my credit card (0%APR), and £70 into my savings account (5.5% interest). I'm booking a holiday on Monday and for this first time i'll be paying for it from my savings rather than adding it to a credit card!

I'm off to spend lunch reading and eating my home made sandwiches.

Thanks all!!!

No financial good news for me today (except an extra hours work for £35!!) but I took my dog to be assessed for her to be a Pets As Therapy dog (P.A.T dog)..........and she passed with flying colours, I am so proud of her.
For those who have not heard of this...its a voluntary thing where dog and cat owners take their pets into places such as hospitals and nursing homes to visit people. It doesnt sound like a big deal but for someone who may have had pets all their life and now finds themselves in a care situation it can be a huge boost. Or for a child in hospital who has withdrawn into themselves the interaction with an animal can be amazing. Or someone who has suffered a stroke who is not responding to physio the natural reaction to stroke a dog can be the beginning of regaining the use of a hand or arm.
The dogs (I dont have a cat so I dont know about that) are assessed regarding their temperament, nature, calmness etc. Zig was a true star and subject to references etc she will be visiting very soon.

Bothered!

What an excellent idea that P.A.T. dog thing...wonder who thought of that !!
