Welcome Gwynnypeg15
Sorry to hear about your sad news sashanut
My PAD for today is £150.00 to BC and MBNA - after thinking MBNA wouldn't take my DD as I'd made over the min payments, I made it manually and then the DD went out this morning so I have some budget rejigging to do as I don't want to use my CC so the extra payment is on there to stay :rotfl: good for DFD, not so good for very busy wedding/hen do month!:j PAID VERY, Barclaycard x3, Vanquis, Natwest, O/D, Tesco & MBNA x2 PAID :j LBM 24/07/15 - Original Debt: £0/31010.23 (100% paid) :eek:

Morning All,

Sashanut - I am sorry to hear of your loss :grouphug:
Gwynnypeg15 - welcome, this is a great place to financially turn your life around.
Kirstypoos - a lean month now will seem like a distant memory when DFD arrives (well that's what I keep telling myself anyway :rotfl:)
White-as-Snow - thank you very much for the explanation of YNAB. I looked at the website and it looks fantastic so I will set up my free trial this weekend. I think it will really help me!
Erme - yes these moments are precious. I am very scared about having no job, but I will take the time out of the rat race to enjoy spending time with my son & concentrating on getting healthy again.
Dizzy - thanks in advance for being August's counter.

Good morning fellow PADdingtons
My PAD today is £598 to pay car insurance please jet9cat :T
I think that cost is outrageous but it was a saving of over £120 on renewal quote and I remember the days when I used to just accept those plus add on costs by paying monthly. MSE advice never forgotten and always used :money:
Have a super day everyone
