    Happy weekend all


    Just paid £500 off OH's card.


    February has been a good month for me so I feel a lot more positive about things in general and finances in particular but I know how you feel Sunshine as that was how I was for quite a few months at the back end of last year

    Mrs remember one of my mantras tis not going down (or getting into debt or having those wee treats) that's the crime - but staying down

    Be encouraged - you are so allowed those treats! I bought a macbook on HP when trying to get out of debt cos laptop died, couldn't put linux on laptop and was really paranoid about windows at the time....

    Really praying you pop your head up for air soon sunshine and enjoy those treats!!! You've earnt them!!!!


    By the way you don't have to come on here with a pad every two seconds newbies. I have my reasons why I don't record many pads on here anymore. Nothing much to do with you lovely peoples though:)

    Good day/bad day - we are the padders and we care!!!!

    Hugs

    97p for me today. Erme -as much as I miss my cat, I don't miss the worry of taking them to the vets (let alone the cost) ... have not asked before as I was hoping it would become apparent in next posts... but do you mind me asking what type of pet SF is?

    Hope everyone has a good weekend x
    Debt free May 2016 (without the support of MSE forum users that would never have been possible - thank you all)

    Thanks Erme, I'm rubbish on computers but OH deals with them - apparently the laptop is fine, it's this hotel wifi which is the problem - it's as bad as dialup! You can upgrade to the premium for £10 a DAY :eek: thankfully we go home today - I can't cope too long without PADing and updating and the wifi was down completely yesterday!!

    £7.03 for today please :D

    Just a thought Kirsty - if you're not on a tablet or mac, computer maintenance may help the speed? I'm thinking defraggler; cc cleaner and malware bytes (all have free versions) - tell me to butt out if this is not relevant :)
    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 😭

    A late post for me - had a really full-on day and will be on the road by 5.30am, so calling it a night now.

    My online banking is having a hissy fit today and keeps chucking me out, so no PAD for me :mad: Probably won't get online tomorrow either, but will catch up on Monday x

    £4 today for me!

    The power of the PAD is that no matter how much it is, it's a step closer to the end goal, whether that be savings or being debt free.

    For me, I'm trying hard to get out of the vicious cycle of recycling debt, which ultimately, is what I have been doing for the last 25 years!

    Thanks for your support everyone!
