Thank you!  Well done on selling on Vinted.  I've bought on there, but not sold anything on there yet.

Well done on the PAD it's thanks to you explaining PAD's that I am now experiencing regular PAD dopamine hits!

 The net result is accelerating the journey to debt free day and  a massive finger up at those dirty evil robbing b*$£..rd financial institutions as they will not be getting all the interest they hoped for from me, some unfortunately but not all.

Yesterday I did a food shop armed with my calculator and stuck to my list like super glue and it always feels great to get out the supermarket spending less than was planned, part of this is success is as result of using the digital scales to see the price of vegetables and I find myself questioning the quantity I really need and making changes to the ingredients mainly in my soups. Carrot is my veg of the week next week! Anyway got home and did a PAD immediately because I came in under and as I used Chase and am on cash back deal for the moment when that clears another PAD can be achieved yay!
Have a lovely Sunday

That's such a great post, I'm glad the PADs are working for you   I agree it's always satisfying to get the shopping cheaper too.

Hope you have a great Sunday too

It's just nice out there - not too hot and not too cold.  DH wasn't keen on going today, and said he'd do it next week,  I said it would be colder next week so we'd be less inclined to do it.

It was so worth going along today, we cleared a lot of stuff and took over £100!  Given that a lot of it was low value, that's not bad at all.  I pulled all my ebay listings off and the kids too, and we sold some of that as well, so that's less faff for the future.

DH wasn't keen, but he's now really pleased we did it as we cleared some bulky stuff and some bits that have been hanging around for ages.

Successful morning!  I didn't buy anything.  DH did, but he's being much more selective these days which is one thing.  Little miss bought a pen and some fake flowers for her bedroom so I can cope with that.

It also means I've got some activity in so that's good too.

It's not at all bad!  Most of it is DH and the kids, but I think I am due a bit as well, so it will be nice to have something extra to PAD! (we write down everything we sell and then DH will divvy it all up when he gets round to doing the totalising).
