    HI All,

    Apologies for today, I slept until the late afternoon and only woke up because my called me just before 3pm! :eek: And then I had to go to dinner for my nephew and my sister's birthdays, so just got back in.

    The official total for the 28th January 2017 was £300.85.

    Morning All,

    The total for the 29th January 2017 is £164.77 :T.

    With the last few days of being a counter upper, does anyone want to do February? If not, I am happy to continue as a way of staying involved as I am still only able to PAD my minimum payments.

    Good morning everyone

    Today's PAD is a bank round down of £1.82 to the credit card please Keedie

    I'm away a lot in Feb/Mar so can't come on every day otherwise I would offer to be the counter-upper. Hope someone can

    Good morning all
    Just a little £2 for me today into the savings tin. I meant to keep a count of everything that I had padded through than but lost my train of thought around the 15th. This will be my aim starting Feb just for my own interest
    Many thanks

    Morning all!

    £75.00 to BC for me today please Keedie.

    I'd be happy to be counter upper for Feb but I know how motivational it is to stay involved and see the PADding continuing Keedie, so if you think it would be good for you to carry on, please do :)
    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 😭
