Another small amount of £35.64 has been paid into the OP payment account today made up of £5 from a NSD yesterday and £30.64 from a website order which has just been processed.
My total now stands at £37782.30/£40506 = 93.05%
I've finally hit that what seemed to feel elusive 93% mark
Now I've got my sights on 94% - only £381.70 to go
