    My budget is tight and all money accounted for so not sure how to do this padding lark.
    Any pointers how to find pennies even?


    We all do it in different ways. If all you can find is a penny then pop it in jar and declare it a PAD:D Its a penny more towards your debt/saving whatever it is.................

    My personal preference is that I look at the current account and PAD the last 3 digits, whatever they are, to a nominated CC - all done on line. I addition I have now started to PAD money saved using vouchers, however small, so a PAD might be £3.46 from bank account plus £2.50 from a T*sco voucher used that day, for example. Sometimes I over pay bills by rounding up to nearest pound and declare the round up as a PAD.............its up to you really what and how much you PAD. Yesterday I added my £10 lottery win as a PAD:rotfl:

    Give it a go.........I try to pay something everyday and it really does mount up. I would not have believed it before trying :)

    Hi there on a beuatiful sunny afternoon, dare we think summer is here at last?

    £363 to the cc for me today plse following some sales money coming through at last.

    Apart from the little amounts of rounding off accounts etc, the other way I find money to PAd is from ebaying, selling stuff at fairs etc and also survey sites. Some pay out cash but mostly it's amazon vouchers or paypal but as I use that to fund christmas and birthday presents, I pad the equivalent over to the cc.
    Every penny's a prisoner
    PADding is addictive
