    Wow, how heartening to see the PADs for May. Well done everyone!!! Thank you EE for counting!

    My PAD today is £15
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.

    I know I keep repeating myself but savings stamps from the Post Office are the way to go!! I just got my cousin to buy some...I'm making it my personal mission to make people buy them! :D

    I never go to the post office though - our nearest one opens at 9 and shuts at 3.30, who the hell can get there at that time?! (Well apart from lazy teachers on half term lol) I'd either forget to buy them or lose my card lol.
    I usually buy car tax online and it never fails to amaze me how fast the disc arives - last year I paid for the tax online at about 6.30pm. The next morning it came through the post!! I reckon they must print them at the sorting offices and just shove it in the mailbags in the morning, no way that could have come from the DVLA.
    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    You'd be really surprised at the mail!

    I can get a card from the Highlands from England in a day, but when we post stuff to England it takes at least 3 days to arrive!

    Thank you E_E for counting it all up during May. It was much appreciated. I'm currently slowing right down in the debt repayment stakes though even my minimum payments are fairly substantial. Unfortunately, I am trying to put aside a bit of spending money for a holiday in a couple of months, putting money aside for my 31/7 tax bill, and starting to hoard a bit for my £250 overdraft reduction from the end of June. There just won't be room for daily payments for some time to come - though my tax bill is part of my PADing.
    Anyway, sorry it hasn't fallen within "your" month but some cheques have cleared this morning so I am PADing £181 between a couple of credit cards.

    Are you going anywhere for your hols or just taking a well deserved break?! :D
