    PAD for me today is £150 to moving house fund please. Have been discussing with OH the moving house fund and we have decided the move is possible on £2000 rather than £4000 and much more achieveable, so will be changing my target to that!

    I really hope I don't mess things up by not being able to post every day.

    Not at all!! If you can't get on to post every day, just post when you can.... and if you can't PAD every day, pop in for a chat :) We all have days where we can't PAD, but we still pop in.... there are no rules other than making your PAD noticable (sp?) to the adder-upper :D

    I'm hoping to achieved my ultimate goal by May but unless someone sends me some cash it's just not going to happen!

    It's getting beyond a joke now but I can't seem to shift my CC's at all. I've paid off £1100ish to one since I started PAD but the other is quite mis-leading as I spend on it a few months ago so it seemed like when I was trying to pay that one off, I was throwing good money after bad so I decided to concentrate on just one as that 'old' debt.

    I have to start saving but I've been in a quite good financial position for a while now (there always seems to be money left in my account before I get some more - I must be doing o.k!) so I guess that although I can't pay off my cc's before May, life has improved quite significantly since last April!

    That's a brilliant total well done everyone. Thanks for totalling keza.

    Well done on the card mrsinvisible.

    That's at least two cards gone this month I think there was at least one more.

    Have you got a spreadsheet on the go? I find it impossible to keep track without one. It is seeing the monthly total coming down that keeps me sane - no reflection on yourself.:eek:

    No I can't really work excel :o:p

    I check back through the online statements every month for MBNA! ('old' debt - that's the one that's reducing!)

    It's My Bank Of Scotland that isn't shifting. I know the problem though - It sits at £500ish but then I get the monthly grocery shop put onto it. Then, it takes so long to pay of the groceries that by the time I've done it, it's shopping day again so it never, ever goes below £500ish :o

    I need a big cash injection in to it (or maybe I should pad to a savings account for my grocery shopping! :D)

    Morning All!

    Received a Boots leaflet today, I opened it and thought of Mumof4 and F_F...there's 1/3 off Soap & Glory until Mar 23rd! :D

    Now look, just because I waited up till 2.30am to buy the S&G hatbox online, and got a MSE person to buy me one in case the online order failed, then went out in a blizzard to collect them both and shipped the spare one to mumof4, doesn't mean I'm obsessed. :D

    Also, got my body butter at 1/3 off already - paid with points though :j
