£1 PaDed today.

I know I don't PaD much (so ashamed of my miniscule total!), but I'm only working part-time at the minute and have lots of other savings methods in use at the same time. I'm also am trying to put away a big chunk of money rather than lots of little ones as I am better at that: PaDing is like an extra.

Can't wait to open that pot: it's nearly full!

Go the rest of you uber-PaDers! :T

Hey Boysma,

Hope all goes well tomorrow with ds starting high school.Are you in Scotland? Ive not heard of kids going back before september unless theyre up north
Its unusual to start on a Friday too, still itll be good for him to do the first day then have a little break to get their heads round it all.
My eldest dd starts on Wednesday and shes soo nervous.Cant wait for it to be over and and to see her settled in

Hi Mum of 4

Thanks for your good wishes, much appreciated. Well i sort of live up North - Northern Ireland actually. Our kids finish school early for Summer (end of June) and the primary schools have already returned and then they are off for Bank Holiday Monday (unlike me:mad:). The reason the secondary school (similar to comp) starts on Friday is they have to sit an exam to see what grade class they will go into, as if they will not be anxious enough! Mind you he seems fine think its just me that's
stressing Good luck to DS1 too - what are we like eh?:D

Hi all, a pad of £4.50 today - £4 to flooring fund and 50p to Barclaycard as got Pinecone money in. Just over a fifth of the way to my new floors - yay.

Work felt like it lasted forever today - maybe it's just because I wish it was the weekend! :rolleyes:

Well done on getting into your course catchooky. :j

Ah I see :-)
So do your children in Ireland not do the sats before they break up?
My dd just took stats before she finished and apparently the teachers over here can put in a little word to the high school to advise of which children are best kept apart and who to keep together, and of course the sats come into play :rolleyes:

No wonder hes anxious, first day in high school and an exam, I wouldnt like that :eek:

I hope he does well and settles quickly, its great that kids are so adaptable, shame we arnt isnt it

Big hugs, espeially to you, I think youll probably be more anxious than him

Steady on we've just finished with the 11 plus last year:D I think you are right about the primary school teachers having a say in which group they may be with but the exam helps to stream them - needless to say the lower the stream the less help (in my humble opinion) they would get and wouldnt necessarily sit GCSEs but thats a long way off yet. Just poured glass of vino to relax - better stick to just the one mind you:D Apologies to everyone else for temporarily hijacking the thread but i know you lovely folks will understand:A

Hi guys, well I have been padding for nearly 2 weeks now and you were all right! it is highly addictive!:j
Its pay day tomorrow so will be paying a huge chunk £600 off the halifax cc as its on a 0% deal until 10th Sep so i aim to clear it by then if I can, going by the fact that I have padded over £200 in under a fortnight im sure I can do it!:T I cannot believe that by padding the money in my bank account instead of it just sitting there and getting spent on random every day stuff, that I can actually make a difference to my debts! Its certainly made me wise up to how much we flitter away our hard earned cash!

Anyway will update my pad for tomorrow in the morning:D

(nearly forgot my pad for today is £38.99)

Hi everyone,
Have been away for the week so not been able to put my PAD's on (sorry macgirl). I have kept a tally though and have managed a total of £74.98. Am going to get a cup of tea and catch up with all the posts now. Can't believe how quickly these threads fill up!
