    Hi everyone,

    I'm currently on a DMP with the CCCS with a mountain of debt.

    Would this work for me ? :cool:

    Hi kiwi and welcome to the PaD thread ~ Payment a Day can work for everybody, it's about getting into the habit of paying a little bit each day towards something which believe me soon becomes addictive :cool:

    Some Padders count their minimum payments towards loans/debts etc, some PaD to savings, others put a few spare pennies into a pot every day and then pay it off a debt once a month for example, it's what works for the individual and it all adds up.

    The only rules are when you post your pad on the thread to make it big, bold and colourful so the counter-upper can see it ..... oh and of course once you join you can never leave! :o

    Give it a try, we're a friendly bunch and rarely bite :D

    First of all,:grouphug:,to erme if you're reading - sorry hassle on another thread has lead to you to leave us as well and hope we see you back soon, thanks for the counting this month.

    Next, Sassers - wow!! that's an amazing amount to PAD and shows what a difference those PADs make!

    Tigermoon - well done on getting that cc paid off, bet it felt good.

    For me today's PAD is £100 to OH's ISA for the HMRC bill in January fund.:)

    PADding is addictive
