    Good morning.

    It's me again. I'm popping in as its payday for me from BK and also 1st month means interest on one of our savings accounts so I can declare the following:-

    £ 311.71 wages from BK
    £  81.83 interest
    ______
    £393.54  

    So my total now currently stands at £74925.20/£81700 = 91.70%  <3

    £34.21 added into our OP savings pot today thanks to my Etsy earnings. My Etsy shop has been so quiet these last few months so I really need to find time to try and work on it as it used to provide me with a nice little amount each month but now it is barely anything. I'm still grateful for the £30 odd pound though as every pound counts :) 

    So my total now currently stands at £76506.83/£81700 = 93.64%   <3

    It is funny how you have to work on them to sell, although you have other listings. Brilliant about the 93.64%. I am placing a bet you will reach 100% by the first week of September.

    Yeah I cannot quite make out what is going on with Etsy at the moment - it is much harder work than it used to be :(  That said I did get a £100 order yesterday so that has put a smile on my face :)

    No pressure then -  best I get off to work so I cn a start earning some pennies ;) 

    Thank you x
