    Can I please join? 

    It will be my first PAD! 

    My first payment today , well…. It was a whopping 50p! 🤣

    The last bit of money left before payday tomorrow *hides in shame* 

    Total debt is £2840.65 
    2 with an interest rate (barclaycard £924.76 and capitol one £150.16)
    2 without (old water debt £1419.83 and a gas/leccy bill £345.90) 

    I cleared another debt last month 🙌🥳

    I'm not sure how I’ll do the PADS for now. Today has gone into the isa and I think I’ll pay them off at the end of the month as part of the debt snowball….. if I can get over constantly being screwed by the interest rates. I’d love to hear what other methods you guys use :)

    Looking forward to the journey ✌️
