    Hi All,

    My PAD for today is £1 please swimminginaseaofdebt.

    Thanks Jet9cat; I have been having a CFS relapse so I have been very tired, weak and in a lot of pain, which gives me trouble walking. It's like you've run a marathon through quick sand with jet lag, and you were then beaten with metal cricket bats at the end... :( not fun, and it can get me down. But I have been trying to stay positive and conserve my energy for my weekend soccer mum duties!

    We're all doing so well with our PADding, and we're only 2/3 of the way through the month :j

    Keedie,
    xx

    Hope your relapse isn't too long lasting Keedie, I know it's rubbish but you seem to be coping well and staying positive :)

    £8 for me today please :)

    Another new arrival for us yesterday in the form of an honorary nephew (best friends baby) so I've managed to become an Auntie twice over in 48 hours!
    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 😭
