  • Good morning!
    Thanks to a high ticket eBay sale yesterday I'm here today with a £355 PAD.  Will be sad to see the item go because it was left to me by Dad but has spent the past 5 years in a cupboard so the time had come to part with it.

  • £5 PAD today please from various places.  Just realised I hit my EF £1k target so need to have a little think about where my PADs go or whether just to increase the EF target.  Thoughts anyone?

    Ooh congratulations!  Once mine is at £1k I will be saving for my sabbatical fund which will be 3 month wages in case anything goes awry.
