    Drumroll please!!

    Contenders, are you ready?
    Padiators, are you ready?!

    The monthly total for January 2012 is....

    £51,890.82!!!

    Over fifty grand!! Well done everybody, a truly incredible start to the year. It's been a pleasure to add up.

    And now a final joke:
    Why do morris dancers wear bells?
    So they can annoy the blind, as well.

    And it's over to you, rsdiscos....


    Och amazing :j...sorry have been mia....got a new toy :eek:

    £150 to the OD today for the big push to clear it before the bank doubles its charges from mid march :eek: Thanks rsdiscos. I will try and think up a PADing song for my next input :D

    Off to the hairdresser today and stressing whether to stick the same old layered long look or go for a bit of a chop :think:

    Och what did you go for ABB? How is life?
    Hi everyone, Thanks for you hugs and advice You are all right if it wasn't for PAD I would be no where near debt free least at the moment its only last £500 and on 0% until 12/2012 which is handy. He has been job hunting all day so far and applied for a few after rewriting CV this am as It was on laptop that broke monday :mad: I will still be following thread and trying to pad when I can.
    Thank goodness for two council tax free months as this will help I think might put it on the CC just to help lower it a bit more. dunno yet.
    On other news what a great total for January thevinternet and thank you. Good luck rdiscos for February counter upping.

    Yeah £500 is not worth losing sleep over. Just do what you can and a huge difference to what it was. At least now with all the padding you'll be able to LIVE and not just survive on a reduced income :)...But sorry to hear of your news non the less....

    So zombie here. Only had 6 hours sleep each night for the past 2 nights so exhausted....

    Might go for a wee nap pre bed at 9.30 or so...Don't know...feel like I'm about to become keyfaced and have a terrible sinus pain from being so tired :(

    I went for the chop :rotfl:I have had long hair most of my life and when I have gone shorter it has not been great. But I have been thinking about it for a while and just thought 'why not?'. So i have a short choppy bob with blonde highlights. The kids at school tomorrow will be a good test of its success :D

    As for our song how about 'P-A-D-I-N'

    We are
    P, paying
    A, accumulating
    D, downsizing
    I, interesting
    N, number crunching

    Sorry for my late night cheesieness. Must be the affect of the bleach fumes :o

    P.S this is my first attempt at multi quoting so virtual gold star to me!
