  • Hi everyone

    My PAD today is £4.76 bank round down to the credit card please Keedie. I'm away with work from today to Saturday so I don't know if I'll get a chance to PAD again until the weekend.

    LMD xx

    Ps - happy Valentine's Day!
    Life gets in the way...PADding is addictive...Saving's better than spending...

    Morning all,

    PAD of £45.08 for me today please Keedie :)
    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 😭

    Morning All,

    The total for 13th February 2017 was a nice £116.72 :j.

    I am enjoying lazy days this half term, which is one of the perks of being too ill to work :rotfl:. Loving the lack of school run :T.

    Have a good day everyone,

    Keedie,

    Big thanks

  • Afternoon everyone :hello:

    Popping in with a PAD of £80 made up of:
    • Credit card - £65
    • £1000 emergency fund - £5
    • 6 months living expenses - £5
    • Son's savings - £5

    I'm going to be handling my finances a bit differently from today onwards so I will be padding less often but with higher amounts.
