    @Dizzycap - oh please keep reporting without changing your target - it helps offset the group underachievement when people are forced to stop or disappear. There's a slightly obsessive element in me that likes us to meet or exceed our collective target in the challenge! And well done, end of June and all done!
    Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
