  • Money is a bit tight this month (aka how many more house things can break/need urgent repairs? like buses they seem to come in bunches :mad:)

    But will aim for 3 PAD's a week, any more is a bonus - so £2.00 for me today

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Hi - I hope you won't mind a newbie asking a dull question....but here goes....

    where does the money come from to pad? is it a case of, say, find the odd pound coin in the sofa and put it in the pot? or look at ban balance and think 'I can put x amount onto card today? or, resist spending on a magazine and instead go home and put that equivalent into the pot?

    Just trying to get my tired head round the idea, because I love the concept of padding!

    Mine comes from my bank account. Here's how...

    I get paid and send budgeted money e.g. for bills/food to the accounts it belongs in. I then have £xxx left from my wages for any other spending during the month. My PADding comes from that money. Some days it's £1, others it's £10, it just depends on how flush I'm feeling.
