    £6.04 is winging it's way to my Virgin CC!

    I love the seeing the consistency of my statement with a payment every day and the good feeling watching the balance go down!

    Hope today is kind!

    PS - today's the day of the Panto - Cinderella is unwell again, but came into school yesterday for the dress rehearsal! Fingers crossed she makes it today!!!

    Good morning lovely people:wave:

    Hope Cinderella soldiers on rsdiscos - sounds like she's trying to, bless her:eek:

    Selene - any PAD is money no longer owed - literally every penny counts...hurrah for payday though!

    Morning lovelies!

    Another £152.45 PADded yesterday, if only I had that as cold hard cash to spend I'd go to Aldi and buy wool! I'm a bit addicted to crochet at the moment, I find it very therapeutic. I keep thinking next year when I am debt free I'll be able to splurge if I want to without the guilt!

    Have a lovely day x

    Erme I hope your appointment helps today, thinking of you.

    Just £1 to the overdraft today, but still, £1 less than yesterday.

    I managed the supermarket on bike yesterday (hadn't been to that one for months due to labyrinthitis). So I cancelled today's appointment :D

    Music lesson or psych? Hmmm...it really 'aint that difficult LOL

    Pressure eased off me as I didn't have to play piano at volunteering :). I don't mind but it's a terrible stress trying to 'master' hymns so quickly when I'm only about grade 1 :eek

    And I'm now trying to do a few chores (And slow down!!!!) pre bible study this am then more chores then music lesson

    Hurrah for the 2p pad selene....keep 'em coming :D

    and pleased about your wall dizzy

    Morning all!

    My PAD for today is £23.96 to MBNA please Sunshine :)

    Dizzy I didn't get to go on a gondola - it was 80 euro for 20 minutes :eek: and that wasn't even with a singing gondolier! OH said he was glad I didn't go on one anyway as he wants to come back with me so thinks it should be something we do together....although for the price I think I'd be too worried about the cost to enjoy it!
    Glad the wall wasn't tested, and that you enjoy the sunshine!

    Sunshine I may have to take up crocheting - everyone I know who does it says it's therapeutic but I'm not sure I'd be able to get the hang of it....hmmmm may watch some youtube tutorials later :D
    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 😭
  • 30p today please.

    Well done for PADding your last 2p Selene.....even if you don't feel it's worth PADding, it really is! :beer:
