    #45 popping in.

    Topped up a little more with £50.....well I couldn't just ignore it for a month could I ;)


    Here's my progress so far
    Jan total - £205.34
    Feb total - £260.11
    March - £189.21
    April - £119.60

    YTD - £774.26

    Hopefully that £50 quid will make all the difference when we look at the properties we could have bought at the end of the month :D
    Thank you for all your hard work with the updates Julicorn

    Hi julicorn, thanks for adding the above :). Unfortunately it's gone into April not March, as I noticed when I went to admire it. :D Would you be able to move it back please? So I can fill April's slot and have a nice line of numbers... thanks!
