PLease add me to this thread. I've even found my old Midland Bank elephant-shaped money box, so I can start to put in my pennies in each day Mind, you it's so old that I found some old 5p, 10p's and 50p's in there. Wasn't money big in the "old days"! (Hope I can still change these in the bank!)

Those were the days when a Mars bar was 3d! :eek::eek: EEEEEEEkkkkkk!!!!! just given the game away -yes I am an oldie (25 oops reverse that!) but as I only act my shoe size then I'm really only 4 and half -yes I am very advanced for my age I can type and add up all the debts on my fingers and toes!
However said debts still need to be paid so total Pad today is £200
(half to Lurgy Lloyds and half to Cr*pital one!)

Please please will someone help.... I keep listening over and over to Brandon Flowers (The Killers) "Crossfire" and I love it .......:o and I can't get away from the puter to cook some tea and OH and DD are wasting away through lack of food I'll just pad the money saved for tea tomorrow!

Thrifty can you let me know if those fitflops are any good? I've been looking at them at boots.com but they're a bit pricey if they don't work!

Apparently the Avon version are good and only a tenner. I think there's info on the Fitflops thread on the Grabbit board. Head thee that way

My mum has both types of fitflops (Avon and 'real') and she says they are both as good as each other. I can't wear them though as I have flat feet and need a bit of a heel to pull my arches up, I borrowed hers once for a day and they really hurt.

Padding £44.89 today please Mary, in German colours lol (sorry Euro, I will support Holland if Germany don't get through!) xx

Well I'm 53 and I can only remember Mars Bars being 7d (that's about 3p to the youngsters ) . I can recall those Cadbury Dairy bars costing a tanner from a machine.

I can't remember how much they were last week, let alone 'back in the day' but one things for certain, they were bigger and tasted better, or is that just age changing the memory?

Pad of £1 from me today, I will try and do better this month.

Pad of £10.00!

I can't believe its a Holland vs Spain final.

You must be very excited Euro? I backed the Dutch yesterday! Guess the whole of Netherlands will be decked out in super Orange on Sunday? (And downing de Oranjeboom?) Post a pic if you can...Would love to feel the atmosphere of being in a country who is participating on WC finals day(was born after 1966 lol)- I was in Almeria in Spain when they won the 2008 Euro's - was superb.

I really thought Germany were looking good...pleased for Spain though. Will put my PAD in Spanish colours today....

Today's PAD is GBP 61. Thanks for counting Angelic - wish it was a Scotland vs England final....
