Well done everybody! The momentum is still going. There are just TWO days left of January to go, and we've got a great total so far (all to be revealed on February 1st!).
A little bit of interesting trivia - the total declared paid in the previous challenges over the whole year was...
2012: £589,252.80
2013: £436,506.99
2014: £539,733.54
Three huge numbers, and we're well on track for another one. If that's not motivation, then what is? Every little counts - these totals were made with thousands and thousands of small payments, so keep plugging away at it.
I'm off to do some ebaying... :rotfl:0 -
