I was fortunate to have some extra cash due to a business insurance matter being settled. But I wasn't sure how much I would need of it, so I drip fed it out. I won't be able to do £700 every month but am proud it has gone to good use in this scenario." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

Morning All
Hope you had a great holiday Erme?
Did a late night PAD of £36 to clear the last of the non o% debt which I now have. So I'm going to claim that for today!
Bob
Awe thanks guys
Yesterday was major bad head so am just grateful I just bought a new vaporiser (£35) rather than go food shopping and drop my mobile (has been known to happen! :eek:) and smash it
Poorly pet with a sore eye and refuses to be handled so we have vetties this am with under budgeted holiday monies
. So for 'praying types' could do with prayer for that. He's young so I'm prepared to spend a bit more than normal (£30)
You know my phrase newbies 'it's not going down (or having that £300 whoopsie or getting in debt) that's the crime but staying down. On my Debt free journey I had more than one £300+ whoopsie but I got there (one was £900 - paid off in interest free period thanks to the power of PAD). So if you need that £1 chocolate bar because you're having a bad day and you choose to have the choccie rather than pad - tis really ok!
and we need more smiley (calling ms flump again!!!) - like this -
(I don't know about anyone else but I need a dancing llama fix this am)
Holiday budget was same as last year - accomodation and travel (rail fares) - pre budgeted. Food and treats - cash out (set budget) every day
.....more than weekly budget at home but helps me 
E:dance:
I believe in the power of PAD
Come and join us on the Payment a Day thread
