    Hi All,

    I hope you're having a good weekend?

    My PAD for today is £50 towards my car expenses saving fund (I always try to pay my insurance for the year, and my MOT and service are due at the same time in March every year). Thanks LMD.

    I am looking forward to seeing our total at the end of the month...!

    Take Care all,

    Keedie

    Payday this Friday so I've done the sums and made a payment of £176.78 today which leaves things finely balanced until payday but I should be OK.

    Shameless sneaking back in... it's been a while. And looking back on my previous signature confirms this thread really works as my balances haven't changed in the months I've been AWOL :-(

    Still I'm here now. It's payday, so a good time to restart. I'm on a night shift and using it to get myself organised again. So I've updated my signature and made my first two PAD's to the credit card totalling £254.65 to get the ball rolling again xx

    I'm popping in on a whopping high (been up since 2.30am) and had two vestibular (dizzy) migraines in 2 days over the weekend but am ok :)

    Anyhow ages since I've been counter upper so if no one else wants to do it I'm willing to be counter upper for October. :money:

    I will so be ok and I got a new 'debt busting' toy to play with the other day from charity shop for £3 - wee old weather station with air pressure and weather forecast etc (got instructions online - alas only 75% accurate but hey ho - we know now it's autumn)

    Also aiming not to have heating on till November. My heating bill for a one bed flat is HUGE!!!:eek:

    Have a good folks :)

    Morning all,

    £5 for me today, won't be changing my totals as I'm paying off the last of the interest from the dreaded overdraft before closing the account!

    Good to see you back Sunshine :)

    Thanks for being Octobers counter upper Erme :)

    Hope all ok Dizzy?

    Now that I'm recovered from wedding hangover :o I am off to catch up :)
