    I hope you do mange to make it a habit @DiaryofanotherSaver

    It has worked wonders for me, and I have to give credit to @LittleMissDetermined for recommending PADding. I PAD as often as I can and even the smallest of PADs makes a difference eventually. Sometimes it seems like quite a slog and then suddenly things start to look a lot more manageable

  • Thank You 😊 I did it from 2024 to 2025 when we were saving for our dream holiday (Which we went on and it was amazing). I got made redundant a few weeks after we got home, hence the state of my finances at this point, but I know how well it worked for saving so I have no doubt it will help for getting things back on track now, and to be honest it makes me keep an eye on everything so I'm not just ignoring it, that in itself is invaluable.

    Todays PAD is £16.00 off CC

    The £2520.47 was the total for everyone’s PADs for the 27th, not just my own PAD 😊

    In a few days I can post the grand total for everyone’s PADs for May. It’s going to be a record breaker, boosted massively by your life changing repayments earlier this month.
