  • How exciting - is this your first holiday without using credit?t119002.gif




    Erme, sorry to hear your phone is kaput - hope it gets fixed soon t8808.gif




    Today's PAD is a perfectly formed £1.11 to savings. (Need to keep some pennies aside as elderly cat may have to be put down tomorrow or Saturday - she is nearly 18 so has had a good life and now she is going downhill - t09026.gif)


    It will be our first holiday since we started our debt free mission and yes, all completely paid for with our money and nothing on a card. Though Mr TTFTM did have to get a new card to sort out car hire but it's set up to be paid back in full each month by DD.

    Am so very sorry to hear about your cat :(

    My cat has gone to rainbow bridge today - I'm glad we took the decision as she was poorly but was a fighter and she could have kept going for a long time but she had a tumour on her liver that was dragging her down so she could not walk properly.
  • Good morning fellow PADders :hello:

    My PAD today is £5 to savings please EE :T


    Am so sorry about your cat but it sounds like you made a very difficult decision for all the right reasons. Big hugs EE xx

    Have a super day everyone :D
