    Hi all, 

    I found this group whilst looking at debt management options, and I want in on these shenanigans!

    I am also trying to give up smoking, so my big idea is to try and PAD with money I would usually spend on cigarettes......

    I have about £13k to pay off, starting now ♥️, £15 PAD to Tesco Bank credit card today.

    Thank you!

    Welcome aboard @Sprogs83. PADding money that you would have spent on cigarettes is a great idea. And you'll be surprised how much progress you'll make with your debts if you keep PADding. The support on this thread, and taking accountability and inspiration from others will make all the difference. Good luck. x

    Morning all,

    The total PAD for 20 May 2024 was £154

    Sometimes we have a lot of stress, or we get worn down by the daily grind which can make adulting a bit painful. If you ever wish for the simplicity of youth, or wonder where all the carefree joy went, just know that...
