Hi @Bounty123 I can put you down for September thank you! I will do August, and that we have a good run for the next few months, and then we'll need October and November counter uppers, as I am doing December as well.

Thank you for your kind words @AntoMac, it's nice to know that you think I am doing okay with running the thread 🤗. And yes, we've surpassed 2025's total already! And we're steadily working towards 2024's total that was £128,462.47 and I reckon we can definitely do that by the end of the year.
I've been tracking it since January 2022, and since then we've PADded over £600k! 😳🤯
Does anyone think adding the screenshot at the beginning of the new thread to cover all of 2026 would be a good idea for motivation, or too off putting for newbies? Let me know if you can't see the table.

My PAD for today is £16.23 into spare change challenges. I managed to complete my mini penny challenge for the first time and it saves £50.50 each time, and I put 50p and under in my money tins.

Personally I like to see the history @Keedie as it shows what we as a collective can achieve as a group. £600k plus is an incredible grand total.
I would hate to put anyone off though and always love seeing new joiners. We seem to have a solid number of regulars at the moment which I find motivating and good to see.

Yeah I agree @AntoMac about seeing the history of what we have achieved, but I'd hate for the numbers to be daunting for someone new to PADding and I wouldn't want to put anyone under financial pressure.
Maybe when I do the final update for 2026 on 1 January 2027, as I can post it at the end of this thread, so that when we start Chapter 27 (for 2027) it's a clean slate with no pressure. But I'll see what people think nearer the time.Debt Free Diary:- The Mental Debt Struggle
