PAD of £42 for me today.
One of my balance transfer cc is coming towards the end of it's 0% period so I'm back on the merry-go-round of juggling as much as possible to a new deal so that I'm paying debt rather than interest. Not sure if rules have got tighter or my credit rating worse as I seem to be having more trouble than last time being able to transfer enough for a decent period - hmm, might need looking into. Will be so glad when I don't have to do this again. Only plus side is it's motivating me to keep going with siphoning all extras to debt busting in the hope this is the last time I have to go through this.Every penny's a prisoner
PADding is addictive

Afternoon all! Happy Valentines to the most determined and supportive bunch of people I know!
£70.19 to MBNA for me today please sunshine....I've got money left in my account and it's payday on Friday - nothing planned in the meantime apart from a gig which is already paid for and I'm designated driver so no drink costs for me
With that in mind I've decided to throw most of what is left in the account at MBNA today so I don't have the temptation of it sitting there! 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 😭0 -
£5 from me today. I wombled £5 in nectar points yesterday which paid for a packet of nappies so I've taken that amount off the shopping budget.
2 weeks since my operation today and I'm now feeling a lot better. Still weak but better.
Jetcat - do you have either Mr T or M B N A cards? Both of them have offered us deals lately.
Sunshine - hope you last the day with your early risers.

I don't know if I said here or not. I had an emergency appendix removal after a short illness that seemed like it was food poisoning. Had D&V plus excruciating stomach pain. I thought maybe I'd wrenched my c section scar of 4 months ago but no. If anyone else ever has those symptoms don't do as I did and go to bed for a day!
