    OK so I thought we should start Monday with some good news : yesterday's total was £86.28 which, added to everything else for the month, gives a total for July 2016 as - fanfare please -


    £24,284.13


    I'm not good with all the fancy smilies etc but you should all give yourselves a massive pat on the back for that. Please keep up the good work for Dizzy counting up in August.

    Absolutely amazing total for July :j:j:j

    Brilliant PADding everyone _party__party__party_

    Thanks to jet9cat for being the super duper counter upper for July and to Dizzy for taking over the August baton :T:T:T

    Hey PADdingtons

    I am the opposite of Mrs Wonga this month due to no income now I have closed my old business and before my new one gets going. Plus school hols and other stuff. So I will try to join in but not convinced its very sustainable.

    Hey Bob, You know best of all that every penny counts so if you find a penny or 2 on your school hol outings it'll soon mount up :) Hope things get going with your new venture soon and it's profitable and enjoyable for you :D

    My PAD for today is £25.00 to Tesco CC please :)
    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 😭

    Hi all,

    I had a spendy weekend due to hen do :( which wiped out PADs, but I'm back this morning with a £30 PAD for today....I fear there are very few PADs left until next payday though as another hen do in two weeks, along with 2 baby showers :eek:

    Money seems to have run away with me this month with OHs parents visiting from NZ, I think I have let the food budget slip in order to please them (silly really, they'd be happy with anything, it's my own insecurities causing the problem.)

    No CC use, so a plus there but very little money apart from min payments for now - time to get ebaying again!!

    Fabulous total too PADdingtons - will add it to the first post so it's easy to count up at the end of the year :D

    Sometimes you have to look for the little positives folks :). Well done you for no CC use!!! :money:

    Great total everyone, let's keep up the good work for August (my birthday month)

    Little PAD from me of £2.94

    Lots of 'little pads' or breaks away...

    Well I got out the wrong side of bed this am!!!:mad: so I bought myself a wee treat from the corner shop cos I was feeling pants -


    One tea caddy (gruffalo LOL) with 80 tea bags. Complete rip off at almost £3 but it was a 'wee' treat and £3 treats today is very ok :D

    Just think above the clouds is sunshine:)

  • Hi Bob. Don't worry. Even if you can only manage the coppers you find down the back of the sofa on a particular day it all adds up. Sometimes we can make big PADs other times only small or even very small ones.

    63p for me please
    Total Debt:
