    Misskaytee I know exactly how you feel except I keep slipping off the wagon and getting sidetracked... I think I became complacent at the start o the year when I saw how much I'd paid off and haven't managed to get back on track ever since :(

    £25 to Scottish friendly please.. Still on phone sorry.

    Well done to everyone for our total in June, and especially thanks to Erme for all the encouragement early on.

    Misskaytee - totally agree the empowering feeling of doing something about this is terrific. Like you, previous attempts have always been derailed - in my case by OH's lack of work, expensive hobbies or the car needing work - but this time I'm really on it. It helps that OH has a good amount of work on at present, mind, so I'm trying to make th emost of it!!

    So a PAD today of £100 to the Virgin cc for me, plse.:)

    Going to slump in front of the sport on telly now as I've has a tooth removed this morning and am feeling a bit rough:(
    Every penny's a prisoner
    PADding is addictive

    Just wanted to share something i was thinking about while i was just washing the dishes......

    Ive only been Padding for a week, and yes i have really been pushing the payments, luckily ive had some great success with ebaying and the carboot sale i did and have padded the vast majority of the money earned.
    Well, what i was thinking while doing the dishes was how HAPPY i feel, I feel different, Optimistic, that i will clear my Bl**dy Overdraft once and for all. I feel determined and fired up to tackle my debt head on.

    Its all down to this thread, i have 2 teenaged Girls, so theres always something to spend money on, in the past when ive tried to save money up into a decent lump some to pay something off, something has always cropped up and the cash would go on that instead :o
    I see it differently now, any money i put into my padders pot is already "spent" and like yesterday when i did the carboot, before i'd even taken my first £1, i knew all the cash would be taken straight to the bank and deposited into the overdraft.
    I have a free weekend ahead, no kids, they are off to their dads for the weekend, so i could of kept some back and had a night out, but instead i'll be happy listing on ebay, knowing im dealing with my debts, not adding to them :D

    Thank you Padders :T Your posts have inspired me :D
