Well its nearly time for the weekend to start!! Its still reasonably nice outside and quite a few people seem to have had some good news, so lets share the good things that have happened this month/week/day and try and get some happy positive vibes going!

I saved my OH about 10k from his house sale/purchase
My chaise lounge is selling on Ebay for 500 quid
I reduced my OD limit to 2k from 2.5k which leaves me room incase of emergencies but made me feel :D
I can have a lie in tomorrow :p

    Having a friday where Amex phones up and says they want to give me £56 and drop my card rate to 4%, for the rest of the balance of my card, saving around £40 in interest everymonth, debt free from this card in about 3 years. Then getting an email from mobile panel saying they want to give me £30 as well - bonus.

    Ta,
