Was just wondering what good things have happened to you guys when you weren't really expecting much (kind of like taking a £15 top to the cashier and then it's only £6 example lol)

So I needed an upgrade on my mobile
iPhone 7plus, had it 4 years and it's on its last legs but upgrade isn't due until April 2023

So I called my phone provider to ask if I could pay it off early in a few months and get an IPhone 12 max
The guy was so nice and he said he would check for me.
LSS - the dude WAIVED the £80 left on my contract and the upfront fee AND gave me 25% nhs discount off the tariff ANNNNNND accessories ANNNND 6 months free Prime video
So I get a new phone on Monday

I know it's not really important in the grand scheme of things but it cheered me up today

Do you guys have any?

I love posts like this 😊 thankyou @gotagooddeal

Bought first home with my partner. Got the keys a couple of weeks ago when we got in the sellers had left a card with a lovely message and a bottle of bubbly. It was such a kind thing to do.

@gotagooddeal
Enjoy your new phone, your post made me smile 😊.

And Amazon prime is so much better than Netflix, you will love it.

This is a really good idea for a thread, makes you think about what to be grateful for! Having said that I can't think of any personally of the top of my head!! Not unexpected anyway.

@FizzyStream - so true. I was stressing about my phone situation and being able to afford it so having this happen was so nice and a massive relief
