    You're more than welcome to join us @MissG80, and you can declare whatever you want into savings, debts etc, as frequently as you want and you can start whenever it suits you. Some people declare their PADs (payments) on a daily basis and some as and when their budget and circumstances allows.

    You're free to do it your own way, just note your PAD in bold, so that it's easier for the counter upper to determine what figure to add to the daily total.
