  • Hi there

    So sorry for being absent for the last 5 months - no excuse, I just had my head in the sand about anything non-critical. Thankfully my Standing Order don't need me to look at them and have been working hard on my behalf.

    #23 paid off £1,922.23 / £3,000

    Will try to be more on top of things going forward. But well done to everyone.
    Take care
