Good morning PADdingtons - Happy Monday to you all
Sunday PADs totalled a respectable £154.70. Particular mention to Mandz for getting up early enough on a Sunday to do a bootie. :T It is beyond me as I am a sloth-like creature.
I'll be back later to PAD as its too early for my bank account to show new cleared funds...0 -

Hello everyone,
Can I please join in with this challenge? I plan to make very small daily payments toward my credit cards in the hope of bringing my DFD forward, if even only by a month!
I had a bill come out my account today which was under budget so I've payed the difference towards my credit card. My PAD for today then is £0.50.VSPC 2019 #10 - £168.80/£100 VSPC 2020 #4 - £262.03/£200 VSPC 2021 #9 - £242.88/£200 VSPC 2022 #3 - £188.03/£200 VSPC 2023 #7 - £0/£2000 -

Hi All,
Great PADding this month so far
My pad is £1.83 to MBNA courtesy of rounding down my bank account.
swimmininaseaofdebt - welcome aboard, you've joined the right place! Every tiny amount as often as you can, will make a big difference to your DFD, as it's a change in mindset and relationship with money that changes things. Big pads do help, but there's something satisfying about chipping away at The Debt...:j
