  • no money to PAD today I'm afraid but just wanted to Thank whoever it was that told me about doing surveys on PA - I have done 5 quick, easy surveys over the past week and got £3.30 in the pot already! Thanks for the recommendation :T ... I've also just discovered Toluna - surveys are good (& plentiful) and I seem to be building up points quite quickly :j

    Evening all!

    £50 mortgage op for me today please :)
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    Hmmm, I'm a little stuck today as I have 3 debts left and none will accept a small £1 payment, so I'll just have to start transferring it to my savings account and then transfer it once a month

    So £1.38 for me today please
    LBM January 2017 £34k will have paid back finally by my DFD May 2021
    got my first store card on my 18th birthday, never known a life without the grey cloud of debt looming over me. 18yrs and the end is finally in sight 🤩

    Morning all,
    £2.80 off my Barclaycard (CC1) today.
    I have also had a goodwill gesture of £35.00 (long story)....from Cap One and £30.22 off Catalogue added to my account! Not sure if that can be counted in? please let me know if it can and I will highlight it for the counter upper!

    Thank you
    LL


    Personally I would count them in as they are payments that have reduced your debt but that's just me looking to keep motivated.


    Someone else mentioned counting payments to savings - I count payments to my emergency fund as that will stop me getting into debt again in future hopefully - it has often been for the lack of rainy day money that I have got into debt previously.


    My payment today is £100 to OH's cc thanks to ebay sales.
