    You're doing well with them. I had a few today, £1.98, but got screened out of LOADS. Just put £1 of it to Christmas '23, which I dont count as a PAD as its not a debt. Tomorrow should be a better day for me as hubby gets paid & I am planning rejigging a few things so will update my diary tomorrow as well.

  • Your PAD’s can also include savings. I plan to carry on PADding long after my CC is cleared :)
    It’s addictive!

    Morning everyone and happy Thursday! I am not sure where this week has gone but it seems to be flying by. 

    Today there's still nothing to be cashed out on Prolific and whilst there seemed to be a lot of studies yesterday, they were all very low volume so by the time I had clicked on them they were full... it's a matter of fastest finger first!  My PAD was £5 to CC7 and today isn't a NSD as I have a hair appointment tonight. Just a cut though, I will do the colour myself to save money. 

    I still have 15 days to go before pay day, but the accounts seem OK so far this month (touch wood!) I presume this is because the presents I have been buying have come out of the SPC money rather than my account,  so whilst it feels like I am 'spending', it's already budgeted/paid for.

    £25 still needed to be sent to CC7 in those 15 days, but 258 days to debt freedom and counting!

  • Happy Friday everyone! This week has passed in the blink of an eye and I am ready for the weekend to be honest.  Christmas presents have started to be delivered so I need to find a suitable storage/hiding place for those.  

    I sent £3 to CC7 this morning, my hair appointment didn't cost as much as budgeted last night so that was good. Today will be a NSD and I will be declaring early and hunkering down after work for a movie and snuggle with the dog as hubby is working.  

    I've got about £17 pending on Prolific from all the studies yesterday, even after last night's £6 cash out. Once this has cleared, that will cover more than the remainder of my CC7 minimum payment so that's great and I don't have to worry about that towards the end of the financial month :)

    That's it from me, I hope you all have a good Friday

  • You're on a roll today. I'm waiting on quite a bit from Pr/fc as well. Only realised yesterday that you can only cash out once every 24hrs, so leaving it all till later and will update everything then. Also waiting on some that's winging its way through cyber space from C/d/lgy.
    I'm getting my hair cut later as well, so that's £21 I need....lol
