More or less on track still for £6k by the end of the year.

Hi everyone, sorry I'm a bit behind with this thread, a relative has been in hospital for 2 months and so I've been paying their bills etc and will be reimbursed once they are on the mend, but at the moment my budgeting spreadsheet has more holes in it than my grandad's string vest. So declaring what I can at the moment, #37 declaring 167.09 for April and 214.98 for May, bringing my total for the year to 1055.89 and 35% of my target of £3k.1
