    Thanks Neverending. I am feeling quite proud of our achievements although me being me would love to reach 50% by the end of this year but I doubt very much that that will happen ;)

    I have added a further £310.31 into our OP savings account today made up of my cafe wages for last week.

    This brings my current total to £34700.10/ £81700 = 42.47%

    I'm creeping slowly but slow and steady will hopefully let us win our race :)

    Sorry for the other post from me (which I have now moved to the correct thread) ;) 

    I can declare a further £376.94 added today thanks to:-

    £  72.00 chippy wages
    £294.44 cafe wages
    £  10.50 facebook sale in my business paid direct into account

    This means my total currently is £35105.64/ £81700 = 42.96%

    I've reached the £35K mark and am very close to my next full percentage :)

  • Hello, me again.

    This means my total currently is £35607.48/ £81700 = 43.58%

    I'm another full percentage closer than I was :)
