    Hi Tooties

    A PAD is a payment a day - there is a thread on the diaries page. The theory is that you make a payment towards your debts everyday, no matter how big or small. I've only been at it for a couple of days but its starting to get addictive! I put my daily payments in a pot and I'll split them pro-rata to all my creditors at the end of each month. Well worth a look :)

    Where are you Candy?


    Hi,

    I am still about - been working loads of overtime etc as I am leaving work in 2 weeks and there was talk of major snowfall so made time up in case we all got sent home (unpaid!).

    Anyhow, I need to catch up on the forum this week - so I might be out of date with gossip etc but I have been living a DFWanabe lifestyle this week - scouts honor ;) .

    Will post properly when I am at home.

    Take care
