Morning all

Well I didn't PAD again yesterday as the food shop went a bit over budget rather than under:o Blooming kids seem to want feeding every day:p seriously though they are like locusts:rotfl:

So a PAD of £10 again to vanquis today, I can't wait for it to be gone, I know it's only a small debt (and the first of many I have to get rid of) but it'll be such a boost to see the back of it

I have done the same yesterday by going over by £9 which prevents me from padding today but i needed more pillows and got some nice ones in asda

Hey

Not been on much lately or had much cash but have managed to still make small PADs just not posted them so

PAD £2.02

I'll be glad when it get to my CTAX free months.... Feb and March don't think i'll be able to use them for debt but it will give me a bit of breathing space rather than trying to find every available penny to pay the minimum payments

Am so glad i started this challenge tho as i would not have been as good about trying if i know i didn't have to come on here and declare what i've paid. Feel like my total is quite pathetic compared to some but im not including the minimum payments so to me its alot i've paid

Hugs to everyone that needs them

Buddiebabe x

I also enjoy doing this and found it has helped a lot with clearning debt i feel guilty if i cant pad for just one day.

Also, if you're off the iPhone idea, I can totally recommend the HTC Desire. I got it when it was new, so the contract is quite pricey for mine but you can get them on good deals now and it's a kickass phone

Get Well Soon to the weans Hope things work out ok with you and XOH, but don't go too easy on the git.

I had a 'whoopsie' spend of an HTC Wildfire in the sales and it's fabbo - asides from the short battery life. About as big as an iphone and great :T....

Worth considering and then maybe downgrading your contract?

Just a thought...finally caught up on posts but still feeling pretty rotten with this bug...One achievement today is I MADE MYSELF A PANCAKE (which I haven't done for a few days :eek:) and I also made myself an espresso....

Go me so now feeling pretty rotten with these glands (they're in my groin. Actually got sent to cancer OP earlier in the year when they were huge but that was cos I lost 5 stone.I've now gained 2 and they are huge again and painful? Go figure????) so like don't know if I'll make kirk tonight or not

...

Hope everyone is well......Got GP tomorrow so she better have some good ideas re this gland :mad: and a strap that fits for my fluidy knee

Then it's big Giro day on Tuesday so will do some serious padding at silly o'clock :T and since getting the new e-cig stuff on Wednesday one pouch of tobacco is lasting me an extra day....that's the challenge with the smokes right now...make a pouch of tobacco last 3 days rather than 2 - rome wasn't built in a day and all that and after last week's horrid depression on the nicorette I wouldn't do it any other way

Small PAD of £4.98 to Tesco cc and 71p to the change jar.

Total £5.69.

I have been rather skint as payday is on Wednesday so trying to make amends for not PADing by paying £5 today to RBS CC. Hopefully I can go back to daily PADs from Wednesday.

sophia-abigail-mummy · 23 January 2011 at 8:15PM

hello, just realised can pad today as can work out what i have to pad left from last month £215.95 I have to do it this way as if i pay off at the beginning of the month i pay off too much and then have to re spend on CC's which i dont want to. I have been allowing ourselves a set amount each week leaving extra in the bank to allow for all payments and make sure i dont go into to it and if by pay day its still left it pays debts i have never been under minium payments and always quite a bit over this pad is all over payments :T
Have been doing a bit of re shuffling and as of today all but my two debit cards are on 0% so now can include minimum payments as well so new target NatW OD 1

Top tips...

Make it easy to read by having short paragraphs, stops them from getting bored. Read sentences out loud and keep them short and snappy that way.

If you're bullet-pointing things that you've done, start the bullet points with "action" words e.g....

Instead of:

I have a degree in English

I presented to 200 people at a conference

I enjoy dealing with people

Try:

Achieved a 1st class degree in English

Delivered a presentation on "Rock and Roll lifestyle" to 200 delegates at Blah Conference

Key skills include XXX demonstrated through XXX

Does that make sense?

Thanks Flyin'

You are truly fabulous! Thanks too erme! Glass of vino part 2 means I haven't really made an attempt BOOOO! I have Sopranos distracting me now... BUT I'm thinking naked drawing tomorrow night will spur me on to get it submitted for Friday's deadline date! <determined danko face> :rotfl: A plan... xx
