    Hi
    #138 checking in with £60 overpayment. That’s me officially at the 50% mark.
    Yay!
    Thanks
    Can I reduce my total to aim for to £4250 please. Think I was over ambitious at the start of the year. Don’t want to get demotivated.
    On a mission!

    Hi longway2go, I've already got you down as #108 from a couple of months ago. I'll adjust your goal though and log your overpayment :)
