Well it is Friday afternoon (obviously) and that for me is pretty good news in itself however this week I have seen lots of good news posts, so I thought it would be really great to have loads of really great positive stuff in one place.
For me this week:
I have been refunded into my account 250 pounds that I had to pay on top of my solicitors standard fees when my mortgage company screwed up and sent the wrong amount of money to them.:T
I have finally put in my claim for 480 pounds bank charges :T
I have asked for a refund of 86 pounds I overpaid to my flats managment company:T
So for me it has been a pretty positive week. Heres to the weekend :beer:

Well my MIL is out of intensive care beats any money possible that! Sadly she will be ill with COPD for life but she has a life now.
Today has been pretty lucky - I took up that offer on Dominoes pizza to celebrate above spent £30 and it cost £15.02 they forgot to deliver the muffins and I did not notice emailed them and wohoo refunded me £5 meal now down to £10.02.
Spent an hour on MSN chatting to some woman about Nokia phones and earned £30 in Amazon vouchers my little girls birthday present next month.
Complained to Pigsback for not getting some points I spent £10 at Snapfish and they gave me £2.50 in pigsback points much more than I should have got!
Was going to do Euromillions but when I counted that was my 3 lucky things!0 -

Might do, I had better speak to OH first. He is pretty well off and is happy to lend me cash and pay for all the food and going out and stuff whilst I am in debt. So might ask him nicely if he will help me with it. He has helped in the past with Ebaying and Amazoning and he said we could do a bootfair.
I am comping like mad and have signed up to some Quidco things although not tracked yet (thanks Lynz) and made 25 pounds selling my phone so far so I shall see how I do next weekend whilst he is away on a stag weekend.Debt Free - done
