Reviving the good news thread......

Imelda

Great thread molanole, think everyone needs cheering up this week!

My good news is that I received the annual maintenance bill for my flat today (what's great about that? I hear you say) well for the first time ever I actually have the money saved up and don't have to use my overdraft. I have also arranged to pay it monthly from now on so I won't build up any more arrears. In fact I can't wait to send that cheque off!!

Well Done Molanole - it's always good to read all the DFWs good news stories!

Mine is that my payslip has just appeared and I've received my increment, plus arrears, plus £300 for clerking 4 governors meetings, plus mileage! Quids in this month! Which will more than cover the deposit for our holiday that I need to pay my dad for!

Keep the good news coming everyone so we can all be cheered up!

Hey everyone,

Thanks Molanole! You are lovely.

My good news is that I contacted a man who publishes a local freesheet paper as he was looking for casual delivery people for a couple of hours every month. He is interested in using me to deliver about 300 this month (£5 per 100, 100 takes about one hour) and possibly more next month!

And i'm babysitting on Saturday night - will be about £20 - Yay!

Ooh good news is just great!

My good news is that I found an unopened coffee maker lurking in the cupboard so I listed on ebay and I've already bids on it. When sold I can put that towards paying some of my overdraft! And I was accepted for a new c/c yesterday with a 12month 0% interest period - yippee! All thanks to MSE of course :-)

thanks for starting this Molanole

my good news is that I am going to get some bonus ( paid next month ) hopefully about £700 and I am also getting an insurance payout of £500 - neither of these were expected so I am going to pay a bit off my c/card which is on 0% but I still want to get rid. I am also going on holiday at the weekend for a week in Scotland and a week in the Lake District camping ( of course ) cant wait :j

My good news is that I am moving to sunny Blackpool in September to move into my BF's home......I get a cup of tea in bed every day & less bills to pay!

And eldest DS's transfer of course at Uni has been accepted (from Computer Science to Physics & Astronomy - :rolleyes:)

And younger DS's gap year placement is nearly upon us so he's off into the big wide world too! :j

Oh, and i'm working my notice, so after 16th August, I won't be able to post as much because I'll have to get a real job where I'm busy!

My good news is that we finally got the money back that we overpaid on our last mortgage just before we moved. They owed us £668 and our bank account is overdrawn by £602 because of this and I am annoyed that it has taken 3 weeks to get the money back but Im glad the overdraft is going to be paid off because before we moved I made a great effort to pay it off from a £1500 balance to 0, so i hate to see it going up again. i dont feel as if i can pay off any debts while weve got an overdraft.
