Hello I am a Padder but I don't get chance to come on much, I have been steadily Padding this year and for Jan and Feb my total is £910.00 - this is from no council tax this month and prolific surveys we also had a backdated pay rise which went on xmas and the rest on padding, so i dont usually have this kind of money to Pad and in the past i would have spent the lot...
