    Morning lovelies :wave:

    Welcome to all the newbies/PADlings (I love that :D, thanks Calling). Great to see some new people tackling their debt on this challenge!

    We're still waiting for the caravan - promised for Friday but as it's taken so long, the younger dogs are showing chemical burns from all the nasties in the flood water :( I had to take them to the Vets yesterday as skin in sensitive areas is blistering, poor things. Not looking forward to applying the cream to certain dangly bits...

    Thanks to you Kirsty, I've now become obsessed with the snowball calculator too. I'd toyed with it before, but hadn't really put it to good use. Now I can see the true [STRIKE]horror[/STRIKE] extent of my debt and the age it will take to clear _pale_

    A triple PAD today for me totalling £80 please Sunshine x. £40 of it to the CC and the other half to the boy's savings accounts.

    Sorry Dizzy! I do love it though!

    £3.14 to MBNA for me today please :)
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    Good morning all!

    Yesterday's total was a splendid £497.97! It helps that our little group is growing, I'm very pleased about that we are a lovely group if we do say so ourselves! Welcome to calling14 and links1205!

    Thank you ttftm, putting your PAD's in bold colour or a larger font does help the counter upper, wouldn't want to miss those pennies being counted :)

    My question today is.. Do any of you use websites or apps to make money, and if so what? I use swagbucks, one poll, prolific Academic, receipt hog and one pulse. Trying to get into checkout smart and shopitize!

    Have a good day xxxx

    Ooh DizzyImp I know nothing about dogs but that sounds painful :( as if the situation wasn't rubbish enough.

    Made an ebay sale yesterday, only for the buyer to contact me asking to cancel as his wife had gotten overexcited and bid on two of the same item only to win both! Fortunately I relisted it and it was resold within the hour (I list things as buy it now)

    So along with a bit of current account money, my PAD today is £57.82 - £52.81 to the overdraft and £5.01 to Barclaycard.

    I have used swagbucks and checkout smart but have been absolutely rubbish with both since moving house. Must get back into them. I'll start tonight! Thanks sunshine!

    I use YouGov (cash out when you get to £50), erewards (which can convert to shop vouchers or Avios - old Airmailes) and Royal Mail surveys (not really surveys, more posting and receiving mail and recording it, they pay out in postage stamps and Love to Shop vouchers).

    If you want a referral for YouGov, please click here:
