  • @groovychick I pad a little bit every day and add that to my cc whenever I have a direct debit out. For example £3 pad and £36 monthly direct debit so that day would be £39

    My pad today is my usual £3
    Too much money owed, trying to pay it off one paycheck at a time
    Happiness comes from within, following your dreams and doing what you love :) :A

  • Hi just discovered this thread - this is what I need!!
    PAD will get addictive I think! Quick question is this just "over payments/savings" as opposed to minimum payments etc

    Welcome to PAD life groovychick :beer:

    You can include minimum payments. I usually pay a small amount off per day, and then let my DD come out towards the end of the month.

    Good luck, every penny counts :)

    I'm kicking off November with a PAD of £16.16 off my cc.
