    Hi all. I have no PaD today, but can I pop in for tea and sympathy? I've fractured my toe and it bl00dy hurts. I tried to be a brave little soldier, but was still f-ing and blinging a whole hour and a half after smashing it so went to hospital. The painkillers they gave me have worn off now though, so I'm having to have wine (for medicinal purposes, you understand)


    Ouchie - hope you feel better soon COMP :)

    May I ask a question, I have a credit card with a balance of £500 on (the only debt I have, the washing machine went bang!), could I pay Barclaycard online via my bank say a £1 per day as a part of the payment per day challenge, I won't miss a £1 per day, but will my bank (FD) or Barclaycard charge me for such low payments per day? I will pay a lump sum at the end of each month as well when I get paid.

    I used to have a Barclaycard and was able to pay them online in similar amounts with no charges/issues. I set up a bill payment from my Halifax account and sent money from there daily.

    There were no hassles doing this, and I cleared a £1500 balance using the Power Of PAD :D

    I did some ridiculously small daily PADs to my c/c debt when I had one and Mint never complained. Best thing to do is check all your small print and if still in doubt, call and ask them :)

  • So I went into MrT to do my shopping (making a beef stew in my new slow cooker!) and took £5 of change out of the pot... but I just couldn't do it!!!!! I managed to pay about £4.50 but then felt too guilty as the coins had to go in one at a time, if I had been in MrS with the coins that you just throw in at once, then I would have done it.... :o
