Well, the moment that we have all been waiting for is here....(drumroll please).
The grand total for January 2017, was a super fantastic...
£13,746.74!!! :j:T:j:T
That is more than November and December 2016's totals combined! :eek:
And all PADs big and small have contributed to this total, so whether it is pennies, pounds, hundreds or thousands, it's all adding up and it's money that we never need to pay to debt again. Or money that is helping us to save for the future or something special.
And even when it seems hard, or feels nigh on impossible to keep chipping away at the debts, or adding slowly to the savings, we must all remember:
"The difference between the impossible and possible lies in a person's determination."
Tommy Lasorda
So here's to the most determined year ever..., let's keep going at whichever pace we can muster.

Hi all
And a great big thanks to Keedie for being counter upperer again for Feb. Have really been looking forward to the start of Feb, I have counted Jan as my trial run, and have learnt from a few mistakes, including getting side tracked and not keeping account of all my pads, well new notebook has been lined and headed so far more organised.
I have made a pad of £115 to start clearing the dreaded bcard. Will be making smaller payments from now on except for my 2 big loan payments which come out in the middle of the month, so fingers crossed for a daily check in
Take care all
