    Been offline for a little while, but WOW! These PADs are phenomenal 👏🏾. Massive congratulations @Aimingforthegoodlife on being debt free! 

    I need to get back onto that sealed pot challenge @AntoMac and @LittleMissDetermined, it will make a big difference for next year.

    I've been PADding but not declaring, but set aside £142.37 into various sinking funds and coin challenges.

    Thanks all, definately an abnormal- in the best way- month! I think not having the pay rise in April, is great for forced savings!
