    Payment a day.

    There is is thread that is dedicated to making a payment a day to help to overpay on debt.
  • Today I have:

    Done daily clicks
    HM breakfast, lunch and dinner
    Logged books onto Green Metropolis (still got some to do)
    Signed up for Music Magpie - have made £5.38!
    Am thinking about getting a second job.... will make a couple of calls tomorrow to adverts in the local rag

    On the not so good side, had to pay out for quite a few necessaries today but am hoping that will be it for the week now.

    Question - What does 'PAD' stand for?

    PAD is Payment a Day which is another thread on this board.

    Not much in the DFW stakes for me today really.

    -Posted some items that sold on eBay this weekend
    -Done daily scratchies- 20p
    -Kept grocery shopping under £10- hopefully will just need milk now this week
    -Didn't have lunch as was too busy at work, which surely must be DFW:money:


    BUT I've had to book my car in for a full service on Wednesday as it is a bit poorly and I am certain that won't be cheap. Luckily I get my bonus from work in Friday's pay so at least I can afford it, even if I begrudge it!
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p
  • Hello....:hello:

    - today was an NSD
    - re-registered on here and started a thread with a humungous first post
    - transferred remainder of c/c onto new 0% card and paid off £89
    - checked quidco for things tracking/validating
    - posted ebay parcels
    - had leftovers for dinner (and lunch)
    - resisted doing any grocery shopping
    - had a recycling mission from last Monday til today to see just how much I could recycle for my doorstep collection, and was quite astonished. Will endeavour to make the same effort every week - not DFW exactly, but good all the same.
    - hung the washing out to dry
    - didn't put the gas fire on tonight but sat with a snuggly throw instead!
    - looked at new mobile phone deals so I can get my monthly bill lower
