    My PADs are:

    £266 to Bank of Mum 1 (car)

    £25.68 to my new Bills Parachute pot (I'm saving a month's worth of bills money to get a month ahead on my budget)

    Another £1 to debt for me today please.
    That’s some good meaty payments @Keedie (although as a vegetarian I don’t normally put good and meaty in the same sentence)
    A bills parachute pot is a great idea.

    Lol thanks @AntoMac, I'm mainly a flexitarian (mainly pescatarian but eat chicken occasionally) so not a fan of meat either, but I do appreciate the sentiment 😊. I decided to split the PAD pot, so some went to the bills overpayment pot and some went direct to Barclaycard for this month. For August 2022 onward, I'll put money aside throughout the month for both.

    The big payment to my mum is the payment from care role, as I have my eldest autistic sister this weekend and I am one of her carers, so I offset this money against what I owe my mum. It does come in handy.
