Morning. Been spending hours trying to get the hang of this new web based version of YNAB. Must say I prefer the old one but using a student key so have to go with what they give me I guess. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it.

My PAD today is £10 please Dizzy. This takes me 66.66% total debt paid

Hi All,
I've been spending a bit too much recently (on useful things, but I mustn't get too carried away or I'll have no redundancy pay left :eek:). So to 'balance' out the guilt, I'm doing a larger PAD today. `Which will also cover me whilst I go on holiday for a week.
So a PAD of £300 to MBNA for me today please Dizzy.
And I've reached and passed my 25% target of debts cleared before Christmas, so I have a lot of hope that I will clear it by my overall target of 31/12/2018 :T.
Happy PADding everyone and enjoy the bank holiday and I will catch up when I get back from Barcelona.
Thanks,
