    Evening everyone!

    Is it possible to rejoin this challenge please? I need the motivation to chip away at a few things and also build up a bit of savings. 

    I've padded £9.61 to the loan today. 
    Cheers

    Morning all,

    The total PAD for 28 December 2022 was £661.48

    If you're ever feeling like nothing much is changing, or you have such a long way to go on your journey, just remember that you're still moving forward, even if it doesn't feel like it, and that...

    Back with my own PADs:

    £69.27 to MBNA
    £4.58 to Barclaycard

    Total of £73.85

    The lack of a rounded balance on Barclaycard has been bothering me for months! 🤦🏾‍♀️ and the payment to MBNA helps to take the overall balance down to a rounded number to finish off the year, so I'm happy with that 🤗.

    That’s a great quote Keedie. One I think I can relate to. I hope you can relate to it too.
    I too don’t like unrounded balances, or balances ending in 13!
