Morning, I moved money about and dipped into emergency funds last month to avoid interest charges. I also finally looked to see what the balances are on cards that I had been avoiding. My signature has now been updated and it was easier to start my PAD amount from scratch which I hope was okay?
My PAD for today is £4.99.
@shell16 glad to see you back and I hope things are better with your Dad.
Thanks, Indi x2 -

@LittleMissDetermined it's so inspiring that you've managed to clear so much, that the need for large payments is dwindling. I can't wait to get to that stage, and all the PADs, big or small really do add up, so you'll be debt free before you know it.
@shell16 you're more than welcome regarding the remainder of the counting for April, we did so well didn't we? I really hope your dad is doing much better and you've had a chance to rest, I've also been thinking about you and your family. It's good to have you back.
@IndiJonesi you can manage your finances however it works best for you and I also did a restart last month and did a big balance transfer and dipped into my savings to pay off some bits and pieces, and was finally honest down to the penny how much I owe. It's scary but it feels great to start afresh doesn't it?
