So far everthing if fine!

Hey, If someone asks me how everything is going and I do not want to reponse "So far everything is fine", what could I say else? Are there common phrases in everyday English I could use? Cheers!

Fine, thanks!
So far, so good.

(There's) no use complaining.
(Things) couldn't be better.

Imagine, I went to another country to do an internship, and a friend is asking me how it is going on facebook. And I want to answer something like: "As I have planned it" or "Everything is how I have planned it". Can I say it that way?
Thank you so far

Hi,

Not natural.
A common expression is 'All according to plan'.

Prple"As I have planned it" or "Everything is how I have planned it".
I know people who occasionally say "Alles in ordnung", which is actually German, not English!
The English is "All is in order", but I rarely hear that.

"Everything is going as planned" is a perfectly good response in the context you describe.
