    I think that you'll also find it gets busier after the 25th as people start getting paid!

    I PAD every day, even if it's a tiny-small amount as that way I know I'm focussed and making the effort. I think I've missed maybe one or two days in the last two years and that was by accident. Even if MSE exploded tomorrow I would keep it up as I think it is a really good habit to be in to help you save towards a goal.

    Woo PAD!

    You are definitely right there, I have been a bit lax some months and those are always the ones where I have been more spendy. It definitely helps with focus, just the habit of it and also seeing how well other people are doing is a big motivation!

    I'm trying to do more this month as I'm still aiming to be debt-free for next month *eep*

    If I would normally PAD £1 then I'm PADding £2 to try and leave myself low on frittering money. I have about £600 to clear in the next five and a half weeks :eek:

    Good morning everyone:D

    Another £5 to vanquis for me today, though I might try and do another payment later on depending on how much I spend on new boots for my little girl:p

    Can I just say again how much I love PAD and how grateful I am for these threads, they really give me the kick up the bum that I need:rotfl:for example this morning I logged into my vanquis account to make a payment but then I was dithering over how much to pay....if it wasn't for pad I would have thought 'oh sod it I'll do it later/tomorrow' and then probably not gotten around to it at all

    So thank you all you lovely padders, you're ace:D:T

    I can't make small payments to MBNA anymore so I guess I'll have to stick it all into savings and make a bulk payment? P00!
