    Hi Terri - I just go onto advanced reply button and then at the top it has all the font type, size and colour. :D

    It won't work that that way for me ! ....... very strange :confused: .....

    Having said that , for some reason my " strike through " button had never worked until yesterday ! .... [STRIKE]so*ding thing[/STRIKE] ...... Oh bu*ger i'm no longer a " strike through virgin " ! :rotfl:....

    Hope you are ok ?

    Is your other halfs back better now ?

    It is frustrating when it seems so slow but to have cleared 2 lots of arrears is excellent news and thats is a huge achievement without lowering the loan too.

    If you had a bit of time you could increase your income slightly by doing daily clicks and free scratchcards and doing surveys, it doesn't bring in massive amounts but it is steady and does accumulate for not much effort.

    I've only just started the clicks thing and can't really comment on the amounts you might get from there.

    I must have had about £50.00 so far this year on amazon vouchers from a survey site and GOKW but they seem to sell for a bit over face value on ebay.
    £30.00 paypal from another survey site
    A few random luncheon vouchers from another one
    £20.00 in free scratch cards since Jan.

    So I guess about £100 for being sat on my backside clicking the mouse in 3 months so potentially £400 a year.

    Hi all.

    Late post from me. Had a great day at Southend, thrilled with Leicester City promotion AS CHAMPIONS and now a little bit drunk...Blue Army !! I am having a few more celebration drinks round a friends place so robbing their internet til mine is back.

    Hope everyone is OK.

    Already made my weekend PADs but lets do £ 2 more - a quid for each Leicester goal today.

    Hello,My pad today is 20p.Really miffed that my payments have been so v small in the last week.I'm waiting to get paid on tuesday.Also feeling a little demotivated as I'm ploughing as much money as I can at the debts but money is so v tight.Our entire household income inclu benefits is £1450ish a month and after we have paid all bills,debts and groceries we have approx £110 for the month for the 3 of us.It's actually less if we have birthdays,christenings etc or dd needs new shoes-lol.Sigh.Just frustrated 'cos really our total debt isn't huge but the snowball says our debtfree date is 2015.And everyone seems to pay such huge chucks off every few weeks.Sorry if I'm whinging,I don't mean to,just a bit fed up as my debt payments aren't high enough but I have no room to breathe.Hope everyone else is ok,sorry if I'm nattering on! x

    Hi Twinkles,

    Really i can only " ditto " what flying_fresian has said to you ! .... great post (number 2088 ) by the way fresian JC_goodpost.gif ...

    Please don't feel " too down " about paying ( in your opinion ) small amounts off of your debts .... At the end of the day , you are " facing " your debts full on and believe me any amount that you can pay is so much better than nothing at all .... and today ..... well you are 20p better off than yesterday clapping.gif...

    I have had days when i have only been able to pay 1p to PAD ! :eek: .... but , at least it is bringing me one step closer to clearing my debts ! .... Please feel free to remind me of this when i'm having a " really bad day ! b-wink.gif ....

    You have done really well so far and should feel very proud of yourself ..... and if you are not ...... well i'm sure that we are all proud of you anyway ! hands_clapping.gif ....

    I think that's the one great thing about PAD ...... because we are all sooooooooooooooo friendly it's like having one big happy family ! ..... we are all there for each other ..... through good and bad ! .... and nobody judges anybody else Ird02.gif ....

    Keep plugging away at the debts piggy_bank.gif ....
