    Good morning bears! £50 for me please as a PAD to my CC.

    I have also paid £3350.00 as the final payment for the new sofas on order. Not a debt as such, but paid with cash (via debit card over the phone) which I am chuffed about as I haven't resorted to the credit card or finance option!!

    LMD - as esteemed counter this month, I leave you to decide if it can be included...

    I've only just checked in for this week (head and sleep kerfunked - some days I sleep for 18 hours - some for 6!!! Argh:mad:) but well done on paying for a new sofa in cash - cash is deffo king!!! So for this wee amazing feet of genius I give thee the ultimate banana_smiley_16.gif

    Dancing llama :D

    I believe in the power of PAD

    Hi All,

    Thank you so much for your encouragement and support, this thread and the genuine kindness of everyone has really helped me reach below the £10k mark, and I am never going back over that figure again! With each PAD I feel more in control, and this has really been helping my depression and anxiety as well. As debt and mental health issues are usually a very toxic combination, but I am taking each day as it comes, to make a difference to both my financial and mental health. So thank you again :grouphug:

    My PAD for the 06/09/2016 and 07/09/2016 is £5 please LMD (£2.50 per day).

    Right, I'm off to attempt to sleep.

    Keedie,
    x

    Keedie you are doing sooooo well hun. Hugs. I am still froot loop (2 nights full blown paranoia anyone - now only 5 hours sleep last night? LOL) but sure it'll come right eventually.

    Small furry at vets all day last thursday didn't help. Hardly ever freak out at vets - freaked last thursday :( - just like I do with medics.

    Coffee machine (saves on posh coffees out) on last legs so freegled it whilst it still had a little life and am using a plastic extra large coffee syringe (for fear of mods) which I've had for a while and ok I can't get the hang of making crema on it but tastes ok :) and is cheaper and takes less space than coffee machine did :)

    So yeah - today is DIY day :). Hoping it works (tried last week after Dentist - dentist said I wasn't well enough to do diy that day LOL.Dentist had a point!) once I have my nuts from post office (cheaper and easier than hardware store)

    So far in past wee while I have downgraded microwave and coffee machine. Alas I bought a new smart phone last week I can't return (yeah anything affiliated to squawk squawk really needs to be avoided!!!) so that can't be downgraded but am thinking about it for next time :) - £40 v £150-200 and more analogue. Yes digital radio is also overated. Bring back AM/MW!!!

    Small furry recovering nicely though tis early days

    And am putting on weight possibly - best do this before trick cyclist decides I need another weight gainer - just eating a little more carbs - really easy :)

    Happy days!!! 2uge4p4.gif
