    Hi there, could you please include your monthly total as well in your updates? It makes it lots easier for me to update - in this instance, for example, I can't quite tell if 419.61 is your new total for the month of in addition to the ones before, but I've assumed 'in addition' for now. Either way, including the total for the month makes my updates a lot easier :)
  • Hi @julicorn. #62 here - please could you add another February payment of £1015.29? This will bring the monthly total to £1115.29. Thank you!
