    Hi Everyone I am new to the thread!

    Just wondering when people say "payment a day" they are actually calling up Barclaycard (etc) and making a payment each day? Or putting some money in a pot to call once per week/month? What is the minimum you can make as a one off payment to a credit card?

    How do you decide how much every day?

    I think it is a fabulous idea, I have a credit card I would like to clear but am currently on maternity leave so I like the idea of a little bit at a time

    Many thanks
    Leah

    This is entirely up to you. How often and how you pad is entirely your choice. This thread helped me pay off my macbook and do the final push in getting debt free so I love it

    It really is a little crazy on this thread but in the nice sense of the word. No you do not have to pad £2k a day - or even 50p but it doesn't matter - we welcome the £2k pads as well as the 50p pads...a pad is a pad!!!

    I'd make extra payments to your CC by going the cheapest way personally (they do vary)..does that help?

    Erme - I'd love a PM when the receipe is perfected. I am utterly lost without my range cooker. The propane bread-warmer that passes as a cooker in the caravan is utter pants.

    I'll keep you posted. My 15p (well maybe it's 20p) one large portion/2 smaller portions - 5 mins - mashed potato recipe is a tad studenty and not great for families or more than 1-2 people

    I still have [strike]scone[/strike] bread in the freezer from last batch - I'll get back to you Dizzy

    All is good here though still working on sleep patterns and eating (not too much, not too little) apart from SF giving me a nasty nip (it bled like mad) on Saturday when giving him a treat (he didn't want to be woken up :-()

    Have a good day Dizzy get out thy flippers - another storm forecast tomorrow :(

    That's £500 this month for me personally!

    Yep I am but I am putting it my cash ISA at the end of every month, rather than pence per day:D I am also doing the save in pounds whatever week it is - i.e week 1= £1 week 2= £2 etc. I have done that for 2 years now - it soon adds up! I put that in a CU account at the end of every month too. I tend to do weeks 1-4 plus week 52 and then weeks 5-8 plus week £51 so its not cash heavy at the expensive time of the year - basically December is paid for by end of April IYSWIM!!

    I looked at the "penny/pound a day" challenge that you are doing TTFTM and Igamogam, but was scared by the daily amounts needed in December, then later discovered that some people are doing it back to front with the biggest amounts in January. I may join it next time as the end total is quite impressive.

    OK I think I've got it sorted now, have got a year planner with boxes to cross out and have banked £4.96 for January but that was in money box already so partly declared as a PAD. So now I have an additional PAD of £108.81 to savings account for December. Next I will start working on November but also start February's saving on 1st February. :money:

    I have thoroughly confused myself in the process but hope I've got this right, sorry if I've managed to confuse anyone else! :o

    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 😭
