    #27 with £200 for June please Julicorn
    i think I’m on £1500 - I get a wee bit confused cause I schedule the payments when I get paid but record them in the next month! 
    Sorry Julicorn I don’t know what I’m talking about! £400 in June (£250 regular OP +£150) takes me to £1700 so far
    Would you be able to check the spreadsheet for me when you get the chance? I've got your year total as something slightly different (just £50 off), so just want to make sure I've logged everything correctly :)
