I have a weekend away coming up, so possibly may need to dip back in, although I have £100 put aside for spends (Any leftovers (if any) will be transfered to mums fund)

Hello All
I'm doing better....I'm recovering from my Teeth Operation but have the next one on 19th July....Can't say I'm looking forward to it but it has to be done....But that should be the last of the Dental Work and then it's just about recovering....so I'll get there...

to calculate a percentage take amount saved divided by target multiplied by 100
