    Hi everyone!! i'm back from holiday - have had a great break but time to get back to sorting these credit cards!!

    FANTASTIC total for September and for the year so far! we are all doing so well, and lots more money the bloomin banks can't charge us for.!

    Right, today £17.50 towards halicrap CC and £100 towards mint. Have friends staying for the weekend so decided to make an extra payment to mint so that it isn't in my account to spend at the weekend!!

    Hope everyone is well total PAD £117.50
    New surname New start!
    Total Debt - [STRIKE]£9999.09 [/STRIKE]now 7633.16 23.66% paid off
  • Mornin' PADers!

    Many thanks to Jo for tallying this month's PADs - wow, what a total! Well done everyone! :beer:
    Just transferred a wee PAD of £2.50 to my c/c. Apart from my minimum payments I have to be careful with the cash this month due to bills and a potentially poorly car, so am keeping the PADs down for now until I know how the pecuniary horizon's looking.

    However, this morning I handed in my month's notice on my flat to move in with my boyfriend, where I will, potentially, be £720 better off per month :j If it comes off, I will be able to start snowballing my credit card in earnest as of this month's pay check. Happy days!

    Keep up the good work - to infinity and beyond!

  • Martha recently lost her husband. She had him cremated and brought his ashes home.

    Picking up the urn that he was in, she poured him out on the patio table.

    Then, while tracing her fingers in the ashes,
    she started talking to him....

    You know that dishwasher you promised me? I bought it with the insurance money!"

    She paused for a minute tracing her fingers
    in the ashes then said, "Remember that car you promised me? Well, I also bought it with the insurance money!"

    Again, she paused for a few minutes and while tracing her fingers in the ashes she said, "Remember that diamond ring you promised me? Bought it too, with the
    insurance money!"

    Finally, still tracing her fingers in the ashes, She said, "Remember that blow job I promised you?"


    "Well here it comes."

    Sorry you had a pants day Sashybo

    Thanks Sarah. Dealing with cheeky people on the phone all day didn't really help. :(
    Sashybo - i went through a period like that in late july/august, its not nice as we spend far to much of our day at work and I ended up taking sometime off to get my head straight. I know feel much better and am enjoying going to work. Hope it sorts its self out for you soon.

    Thanks SHWA, have taken a day off today and hoping that will make me feel a bit better. I'm finding it difficult to adapt to working 9-5 everyday and just want a lazy day now and again. I almost miss working in retail :eek: - never thought I would say that! ;)

    My pad today is £4.65 to Barclaycard - more click money came through.

    Great September total - well done us and thanks to Jo for the counting. :T

    Really?? I always thought you were a bird!! :rotfl:

    Phew!! Thank goodness it wasn't just me!!! I'm really sorry Mr Fermi :o


    Can I just ask people how they keep track off what they have paid, bearing in mind that some are quite small amounts.

    As I'm quite new to this I am using a notebook and just writing it down, but wondered. I suppose this is part and parcel of how organised you are.

    Hi Gilli. I have an accounts book to write everything in. I am frequently seen huddled over my book with my big calculator :D Many on here are very clever and have fancy pants spreadsheets though! I have asked my friend to help me do one too as i feel left out :p



    However, this morning I handed in my month's notice on my flat to move in with my boyfriend, where I will, potentially, be £720 better off per month :j If it comes off, I will be able to start snowballing my credit card in earnest as of this month's pay check. Happy days!

    Keep up the good work - to infinity and beyond!

    Hope it all works out Pixie, that will be a great saving ;)
    One step at a time ;)
