I've been getting my financial life in order, and made some balance and money transfers and did some mind bending calculations to bring everything into better order, so I have unusually large, but nonetheless satisfying PADs today.
£2,276.04 to TUI (now repaid in full)
£50 to MBNA (usual direct debit)
£87.80 to Barclaycard
£800 to exam fees pot
Total PAD is £3,213.84
I'll be back to normal people PADs from now on lol, but it feels really good to have a sustainable plan moving forward. I feel like I can breathe again.Debt Free Diary:- The Mental Debt Struggle

It was a really exciting PAD to be able to post @shell16, I must say! This thread does really help to push me to clear things, more so than other challenges, as it's flexible enough to reflect our individual circumstances. And yes it's really exciting @Deleted_User. xx

Wow @Keedie thats great, and I get what you mean. I have recently rearranged my debt so instead of being spread over severeal different companies its only 2. I think its easier to focus on if you have less to look at.
£1.45 for me today to my big loan please.PAYDBC24 #8 ~ £10188.212
