    Morning Julicorn :smiley:. Small OP as things are tight right now, could you please change my target to £1,000 please? I think £2,000 was too ambitious for us. Thank you  <3

    OP £77.00   #126   July. 

    Cheers xx

    Could you do me a favour and check that I've got everything recorded correctly for you in the spreadsheet? I think I've probably missed one of your previous payments :)

    Oh dear I’ve got in a pickle! Just checked against my bank statements and we’re at £988 not £1000! Well, we are at £1000 now as it couldn’t let it get past me...

    Month by month
    march £50
    may £157.76 (there was one I’d not put in the thread)
    june £513.05
    july £279.19 (including the £12 I’ve just paid 😂)

    thanks Julicorn x
