Another 50p for me to VERY.
I hear you Erme and have started a savings pot with a standing order each month, but at minute not much in it ... first time I have ever had one and only started it a few months ago. It was really bad timing with car tax, mot and Christmas that further repairs and washer replacement were just too much. Thanks for advice I do appreciate it.
EDIT: I do realise (or at least the new me does, that Christmas, car tax and MOT are all known events and I need to plan for these) ;-) xx
You know what flump - nae probs. No on your case. Nothing....well done you for trying though :T. It was just a suggestion and not a reprimand.....
Savings? Well done you....I know you'll get there. I really do and I'm right here on my lappie behind you:dance:
I believe in the power of PAD

It's a pad of £7.24 for me today :jAs of 24th August 2016 total money owed was

Another 25p for me please.
Thanks Ermie for your words about not giving up.....this is so slow going for me, and I sometimes feel is it worth putting away such tiny ammounts every day.
But, as you said, it's the giving up thats wrong, not the little blips, or how long it takes.
We have a limited income, with a business that is hopefully growing, so things should improve over time, and I now make sure I have money put aside for everything such as car expenses, presents, etc, (lots of little brown envelopes!!) which is why I have so little left to PAD, but hopefully this means no dipping into more debt.
Been getting a bit down lately about having no spare cash, but hey, onwards and upwards!A Payment A Day keeps the debts at bay

We all get like that, I wish I had a big chunk to throw off my debt every so often but I don't, what I do is set myself smaller target ie the next £500 or the next % or getting the figure under the next thousand. It takes time but padding helps I've cleared just short of 1/3 of mine in just over a year. I know it's all relative to what each individual owes but I would never in a million years done that without padding. Keep on going you will get there :T:TAs of 24th August 2016 total money owed was
