    Morning folks.

    £1.50 for me.

    Two days until payday....come on....

    Just caught up on posts - well done everyone on payments! :j:j

    I spent last night listing on Music Magpie (thanks for the inspiration Flying Fresian!) so twenty quid coming in the not too distant.

    Danko - yep, plan is to camp out in Wimbledon Park on Friday night in the queue for Saturday centre court tickets. I will need to be there 7pm / 8pm Friday with toasty sleeping bag (gonna ditch the tent idea as it's set to be 26 degrees) picnic and (lots of) beers. Apparently a bit like being in a festival atmospshere - lots of jolly folk, ball games and tennis talk. Hopefully I will get there early enough for Centre Court queue (500 tickets on the day) as Mr Murray (assuming he's still in) will be scheduled to play Saturday. Very exciting.

    Danko - link for you and other tennis virgins!

    Hope everyone's diets are going well. I've knocked off half a stone on the post teeth soup diet - but that was flab gained after stop smoking so back where I like to be. Teeth are all good today!

    Re-hab (!) tonight for no smoking so will check back later.

    I went to Wimbledon yesterday. No.1 court - saw Sharapova (ear plugs required) and James Ward (British guy).

    Good luck with getting centre court tickets. Murray's predicted to do very well this year :T

    Hello !

    Some peeps do, some don't. It's totally up to you !! PAD is tailored to exactly how you want to pay off debts and / or save. Some people make an online payment each day to debt, some throw money into savings accounts, jars and robot heads (is the Cosmotini mug still here?) ..... and post the amount each day.

    I include min payments on the day the direct debits come out - I find it motivates me to pay more in other extra payments as I see the dd's come down.

    Have fun!!

    Thanks LondonAndy!

    I think I will include my usual monthly payments as well. I'd like to visibly see my debt reducing, to encourage me and keep me going.

    I will also be doing my best to save a little extra each month to add to that amount too :)

    Found out yesterday that I will def be getting a pay rise and a bonus this year (albeit a small one), which is very lucky!

    Any and all extra cash is going straight on that debt pile! Mwah ha ha ha, I will be debt free! Yeah! Feeling positive today :j

    Forgot yesterday as been v busy, so £2 to Asda, £2 to Tesco and £2.50 to Vanquis. £6.50 today

    PAD weightloss wise, has been a little piggy all week as was good til Friday, at lunch I had planned to buy lunch as I had my JSA cheque in so didn't bring a lunch, then went to PO to cash it in and was told I had to go to a different brand. Of course, the queue had been huge and didn't have time as was on lunch break from p/t job. So went to subway and had a FOOT LONG (drool drool) The OH took me out for an Indian and pigged out. Then just thought I'd carry on the tradition.
    Haven't even been to the gym so really sure I've put on. Unsure if I'll go to ww cos I know what the verdict will be - GET JAW WIRED!!!

    Hi all, you've guessed it, 50p to Barclaycard. I'm waiting on ciao money coming through and have some click money near withdrawal so hoping to make slightly bigger pads soon.

    I've now padded £500 in six months plus saved up and bought my Cat Lair which was £198 so I'm quite impressed. :j My snowball is saying I will pay off the Barclaycard in 7 months but I'm aiming for 3. Then I will be moving on to the next debt - OH's Capital One card. :rolleyes:
    Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Car loan 1 £11,174, Car loan 2 £5,532, CC 0% BT £780. Debt Free Diary to try & keep spending in check.

    hi all,

    my pad for today is £5.00 to HSBC CC.

    i have decided to pay this off first and then pay off the Capital one CC rather than paying different cards everyday.

    so my challenge for the end of july is to have my hsbc card cleared and be working on capital one cc. :D

    have a good day everyone.

    I love to give homemade gifts. Which one of
    my kids do you want?
