    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    I got £22 interest on savings but have spent it cos my wallet went missing in Glasgow (youth hostel) on Wednesday night :(

    But still...good to see all the new folk....padding is so addictive :D

    WELCOME!!!

    Being debt free is absolutely fab...well done to those who have paid off a target debt lately. Feels so good doesn't it? And also those who have just joined padding
    :dance:
    I believe in the power of PAD

    I have a 0% credit card that the 0% finishes in Oct 2015. It's with virgin money and the minimum payment is always £25. I have just worked out how much the balance will be when the 0% finishes and I have worked out if I pay an extra 66p a day from now till then the balance will be clear so I won't have to pay any interest on it or pay a balance transfer fee to move it to another card.

    So I have made the first payment today so can I add another pad of 66p please igamogam :T

    Now that's the power of PAD in action. It doesn't take much every day but will make a huge difference when you get to the end of the 0% period and you don't have to start paying interest or move the debt again. :beer: here's to the plan working.
