    Morning!
    So when I changed the DD for my water supplier they increased the monthly bill by a pound but sent me a £40 credit refund!  Why they didn't reduce the DD by £3 I've no idea.  Anyway it was unexpected money so a £41 total PAD today please.

    Sounds like reducing the direct debit was too logical for them @Sallyforth 🤷🏾‍♀️.

    The total so far this year is looking amazing! I add the daily total to my PADdingtons 2024 spreadsheet, so that I can the accumulated total as the year goes on. Very impressive stuff 👏🏾.
