    Thank you Muppets for the little Congrats, and thanks also for the new target.


    It really is a boost to come on here and see the progress that has been made by us but also everyone else too.


    Another payment of £500 made at the weekend, hopefully we will be rid of CC no: 2 by Xmas.


    New total:


    #103 £5,016.00/£6,600.00
