Woooooo the Barclaycard has been CLEARED, GONE, BUSTED, well and truly left the Danko household!!
:j (Well temporarily until I've spoken to them once the payment has cleared to see if I can wangle a 0% or LOTB) BUT as it stands, it has GONE!
That's brilliant news ..... Well Done danko .......

Muso - Great news that you have cleared your catalogue debt ....:hello:Hey everyone,
I have stubled across this forum from MSE site and I must say, and this probably not going to sound how it should, but you have made me feel better. I am not alone, and I am not the only person to have run up a load of debt that I am struggling to manage!
I lay awake at night worrying and stressing and feeling guilty and feeling like the only person in the world, and I feel so jealous and envious of people with more money than me, or people who (I think) are debt free - it's taking over my life, and managed to ruin my weekend after meeting up with some of my husbands friends at an event and feeling completely inadequate!
Just wanted to say hi and thanks and that I want to know what this PAD thing is all about!

Hi Emberlina,
Believe me you are not alone , the majority of us on this thread are in the same boat.... So try not to worry too much .... have a cuppa and biccy and join the club
...
Basically we make a payment a day , to either a debt or to a strange thing called savings !
So welcome to the Madhouse ! Good luck with your payment a day , either small or large it's surprising how quickly it all adds up .
It really doesn't matter if it's a penny that you can pay or £1000 , it's whatever amount that you can afford .... Some people count their minimum payments as part of their PAD , others don't .... it's entirely up to you.
Alot of people use their " extra " money as their PAD .... by selling unwanted bits on Ebay .... or use their " daily click money " .... or some count up their loose change at the end of each day ....
Everybody is great on here , which really helps to keep you motivated ...
