    Morning All,

    I decided to sort out more of my finances before I travel tomorrow, so that I don't have the option of overspending when I am away (which is usually the case!) So I have cleared the overdraft with some of my redundancy money. I don't have any physical credit cards (I cut them up months ago), so I will try my hand at actually budgeting whilst on holiday for once :eek:.

    My PAD consists of £2800 to my overdraft and a £50 regular payment to the Bank of Mum, giving me a total PAD of £2,850. And I have reduced to 3 creditors now :j:j:j

    Enjoy the bank holiday everyone:grouphug: ,

    Keedie

    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 😭

    Good Evening everyone! Please put me down for a PAD of £25 towards my Barclaycard CC!

    I was at work today so my partner went with his sister to do a car boot and the above was my share!
