    Wahooooo! I've been paid!

    OK, so PAD of €230 to savings. Part of that is me replacing some money I took out a few days ago. But, it was budgeted for this month, I just got it a little earlier than usual as I will be away this weekend.

    Anyway, using oanda.com exchange rate of 0.89485, that gives a total PAD for today of 205.82 GBP.

    Money also sent to UK for bills so will PAD that as soon as it arrives and turns into pounds and pennies.

    Have a super day guys! Sorry, I know, too cheerful. But the sun is shining here and it's quite warm. Lifts my spirits no end!

    Keza, I'm going to toddle off and read every post on your diary. You have just managed to pay off the same amount of debt as me, yet since November I've not even managed to clear 3k! Hopefully I will get the inspiration from you that I need to encourage me to stop wasting money on going out and things that can wait until I've paid my debts, as you have proved it does make all the difference!!! Well done!! :j:T:D
