    (((((big hugs))))) Allie, really sorry to hear about your cat.

    I will be on quite sporadically for the next few weeks. I have to go back into hospital for (yet) another operation :( I am trying to get all work (at work and at home) up to date before I go in on 18th. The good thing about it (apart from making me better) is that I don't spend any money when I am in there so I will be able to PAD the money I don't spend when I get out :D

    In the meantime, today's PAD £84.30 thanks Fresian :)
    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £161,690.76
    300 271 payments to go.
    House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

    Hi all,

    £30 for me to the emergency fund, plse - read Martin's article on recession proofing your finances and the recommendation to have 6 months money in an emergency fund to cope with redundancy etc -- ooh if only! However, it does make m.e feel less guilty about trying to work up an emergency fund, however small, while still having a few debts to clear.

    Hugs and sympathy to Allie for losing your cat - I know what this is like as I lost my cats age 16 and 18 within 6 months of each other.

    Hope everyone has a nice relaxing bank holiday weekend.
    Every penny's a prisoner
    PADding is addictive

    £1 for me today please :) Will do the totalising later on today as my spreadsheet is on the PC which Mr F is hogging!

    Sorry to hear about your cat Allie :(

    GAP, I think you're in the Burgh too, so if you need anything at all PM me.

    Happy weekend to all :D:D
