  • It varies by individual. I personally don't count any 'minimum' payment, but some people do.

    Personal choice! :)

    Thanks! Not counting a min sits a bit more comfortably with me too - as it's not really an extra payment so will go with that!

    Rising, its completley up to you what you count, but even the minimum is a payment so it can be counted. Its personally up to the individual if they count it.
    But welcome, I am this months counter-upper and then it will change for december.

    mmmmm that makes sense too Mandz!:o

    Could I lurk for the rest of the month (ie not be incl in your totals) and see how it goes / try to work out what will work best (or not!) for me?

  • Welcome to rising from the ashes :j

    Thanks:D

    I know I'm technically lurking atm :o but just wanted to say that I can see how this could get addictive!

    I've just cleared out my purse and put my new £20 in for this weeks' spend challenge - £1 coin went into the coin jar (I put away £2, £1 and 50ps) but also had 54p left ....... need another jar needed to save this up in!:rotfl:

    It is addictive! I haven't missed a day since I started PADding and it has made an incredible difference. :T

    I started off making small daily payments off a NatWest OD but M&S have now surpassed NatWest for interest so they get the small daily payment instead. I suppose it's like a mini snowball. Also make larger monthly PADs against all of our debts but the little ones really do add up :j
