    Morning everyone! Wasn't sure I'd be online this morning as we've had a power cut most of the night. Not good for DH as he has an air compressor for his sleep apnoea and we have just had another flood alert so he's in a fabulous mood :(

    A massive £1683.82 was PADded yesterday by this amazing team. I thank you for the opportunity to virtually purchase the Welsh dresser that will look fab in my dining room and a little left over for a whole new set of placemats - thanks for the suggestion Flump.

    There are some amazing amounts being paid, but please don't overdo it and have nothing to live on for the rest of January:eek: I don't want fellow PADders getting the January Blues xxx

    Got a cheeky "not really a PAD" to offer today as although it's a debt of sorts, it's not off the credit cards - stage 2 payment to the builders for the limestone wall....gulp...£2500..._pale_

    Yikes Dizzy, hope it's just an overzealous warning and a flood doesn't occur!

    Well after taking my babies on a nice walk yesterday so my oldest could point at cars (he is OBSESSED with cars) I am paying for it today with hip pain. One leg, and now arm, has terrible nerve pain up and down it. So a quiet day today, the rain is heavy anyway and we are all just getting over coughs and colds.

    Anyway after that piece of useless info I declare a PAD of £30.12 to the Barclaycard thanks to ebay sales. I notice when I'm updating my signature that the percentage paid changes/increases a lot quicker as the balance drops, it's nice to see and keeps me going!

    Have a good day x

    £5.22 for me today please.

    I'm impatiently waiting for a £40 refund from my energy company so I can make a bigger PAD but it's now been 2 months since I left them and 29 days since they told me it would be done well within 30 days :mad:
    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 😭
  • £2.16 today for me please. Just a small round down of bank account today. All the little PADS have enabled me to pay £14 off the loan today so it now starts with a 3! Very happy. :j

    Well paid today I get paid weekly phew so 100.00 pounds off cc1 for me today.:j:j
    Dizzy Imp wise words indeed many times overpaid my cc and then had to use another credit card for the rest of the month to survive. Looking forward to a big meal on your dining room table end of the year when we are all debt free:rotfl:

    Hello! Sneaking back after a 6 month gap where RL just got in the way. Would like to start PADding again ... there have been some steps forward (and back) and I am sure this will continue in 2016, but each little step inches me in the right direction :)

    So starting today if you'll have me back I have made my first PAD of 2016 £5 to catalogue.


    love flump x
    flump - you never 'asked' if you could leave!!!! You are my star smiley person - I've been lonesome :(...glad you are back - now I'm going to go looking for a 50p pad :D
    Hi Dizzy, thank you for checking on me. I am taking it one day at a time, some are manageable whilst others are not. That's all I can do and hope it gets easier.

    Nice to be back on here though and tackling the debts.

    Lovely to have you back LMD and see you coming up for air! hugs treeswing.gif

    So need to emphasise this one (thanks Dizzy....padding a load and then having to get into debt for baked beans to live on for 30 days is just not worth it!!! This isn't a competition to see how big a pad we can do (otherwise sasha with her own business would have won many times over - she sometimes pad's thousands!! for x,y and the next thing - get my drift?. This is just an aid to help you pay off your debt in your way in your time :):money:

    Och poor you with nerve pain - I get it occasionally with anxiety so know it's jolly painful but you still have to function as a Mama - hugs

    I believe in the power of PAD
