    I've added my bumper June total of £1753.46 to the spreadsheet which takes me over the 100% target too (woohoo!). 

    I also tweaked the conditional formatting so you are amber (yellow) if less than 490%, and pale green if 50-60% and dark green if above 60%

    Also, I note our collective target is only just over £3,000 (£3,002.86) from 50% - practically perfect in every way, as Mary said (Poppins, not Berry) and with a few still to report in for June - so a massive well done everyone!!

    Can I give an update for #27 Topscooby please? I’ve been awol for a while as it’s been a very busy time for me both at work and socially so this is long overdue… £1000 each for May, June and July please.

    This keeps me on track to meet my target so very happy to be where I hoped to be now that the first half of the year has come and gone.

     Thanks @enthusiasticsaver and @Suffolk_lass for your continued support and encouragement along with the organisation you both put into this challenge…it’s very much appreciated!
