    Great to see others making progress too. Well done remote_control and x_raphael_xx :)

    I've just added a further £70 into the OP savings account from my chippy wages which will be used to help pay off some of our mortgages when the fixed rates expire :) 

    My total now stands at £16361.43 / £81700 = 20.09%

    Not much movement in my %'s but at least I am slowly creeping up in the right direction :)

    Morning it's me again - sorry.

    I've managed to add a further £30.55 into the OP savings pot today thanks to some refund cheque clearing from Royal Mail for parcels they have lost. 

    This make my total £16887.70 / £81700 = 20.67%

    I might be moving very slowly but at least I am moving in the right direction :)

    It's Etsy payday but Junes sales were absolutely awful so I have only managed to add £35.12 into the OP savings pot this month. Fingers crossed this month I manage to make more sales although as it seems to be getting harder each month I won't hold my breath. Thank heavens for my part time jobs! 

    My total now stands at £16922.82 / £81700 = 20.71%
