    Hi all, congrats to calling on your milestone and welcome to Selene.


    Had a good news/bad news sort of day today - woke up to find one of my 3 cats had been quite sick over night and had to clean it up (usually hubbies job but he's away) and train home tonight 25 mins late - I hate commuting as seem to waste my life hanging around waiting for trains to bother to turn up. Good news - I found a £1 coin on my walk to the station and, even better, hubby had a win on the postcode lottery which hit his bank account today and was bounced straight off his credit card so that's a pad of


    £1000


    please Sunshine.

    Ooh jet9cat what a bumper PAD (he won £1000? Wow!)

    Welcome to Selene, I hope you do stay with us, try to PAD if you can even if it's 10p but even if you can't PAD every day just drop by and say hello, we'll keep your momentum going! This is a great thread that really does work x

    Yesterday's PADs amounted to £1136.77, well done to every last one of you, that would pay my week in CenterParcs in the overpriced school holidays :mad: talking of holidays I hope kirtsypoos is enjoying her break. Jel? A little :)

    Just giving a quick :wave::wave::wave::wave::wave::wave: to any lurkers, it feels a little quiet around here this week. Let us know you're still around!

    Morning all!

    I'm off on a city break today so PADing £50.19 to cover my PADs until I'm back on Wednesday.

    Keep up the good work while I'm gone - I can't wait to come back and see the daily totals - how sad am I?!

    It's no worse than still being addicted to online banking and spreadsheets years after getting debt free!!! :rotfl: Chill hun....tis good :)

    anyhow I Had £8 on 'tatty treats' yesterday in the chemist bargain basement shelves....one of which I definitely don't need (£2) so will go to charity (actually make that £4 - £3 on eye drops I needed and £1 on cheap but fab bath bubbles) but was brilliant...

    Sometimes spending [strike] £8[/strike] £4 on tat saves you spending £300 on the same thing :D.. that's what padding is about - paying off your debt and taking responsibility but not judging others for their whoopsies. Well I tell ye. I had a £4 whoopsie yesterday and I'm cool with it!!!!

    So was going for a big day trip today but now reigning that in (same budget though) as I Don't fancy big drunken hairies anywhere near me LOL
