    PAD today of £60 to bank loan.

    I become redundant at noon today - then I will have some time to think. My boss asked me yesterday what my plans are but I told him I have deliberatly not thought about it. The next two bank holiday weekends will feel like a holiday as OH will be home for most of the time, so I will start the planning after that.

    My redundance money will be 'stored' to cover mortgage payments then if I get a job I can throw the wages at the debts.
  • Haven't been able to PAD for the last couple of day but today I've managed to scrape together £2.50. I would like to think next week it'll be better but OH is off work

  • Sorry I didn't post total yesterday (again).. I went for a nap in the afternoon, next thing I know my housemate is waking me up as we had people coming over for a bbq in 15 minutes! Then I completely forgot as I was on the wine.

    Anyhoo.... 19th was £618.41
    Yesterday was £526.49


    I'm trying to show MrS the benefits of making small savings everywhere but he sees it as 'it's only a quid more for something extra nice so why bother?' and the other day I'm sure MrT overcharged us for something but he really wasn't bothered at all as it was only about 60p!

    Morning all!

    £25 to HSBC o/d from me today :)

    Dizzy - I've no experience of fluoxetine so can't really comment, but I definitely agree that talking needs to be done in conjunction with any medication. There are hundreds of different medications available these days so it would be worth your OH going to discuss with his GP the issues that he's had on what he's tried so far and maybe get something else :)

    Weather forecast is fab this weekend Wesker unless you're in the far north of Scotland I believe!

    In the course of decluttering our bedroom I found an old money box that's completely full! Am setting DS the task of counting and will pad the contents tomorrow :D!

    Yeah it depends on the illness I guess. I have a weird illness that means I need a combo of meds. Without the anti depressants I'd be a lot worse off. Different folks, different strokes.... and I don't want any bad news about the weather in the north of scotland LOL

    £6.03 today.

    I've really seen the benefits of padding this month - I snowball £900 a month and I've paid an extra £40.

    That's way more than I get in benefits!!! But good on you :A.....

    Right just done the decorating totals....and bare in mind I now have spare paint.....DV last day of decorating today :)

    • Paint and rollers (2 of each 9" cheap and small cheap"...think £3 ea and £2 ea respectively with trays that are a little flimsy but okay. B& Q on offer = £36
    • Paint (charity shop - old crown . Did the lounge all over one coat...ages ago) -£16
    • Drapes and fabric - £12
    • Blinds (just basic bamboo variety - 120cm and 180cm) £30
    • Scrap of carpet to lay next to my £10 blue off cut = FREE

    TOTAL = £88 :D and I had more than enough paint :)

    DV should pad whilst chocolate paint is drying :)
