Good morning guys
I’m afraid I’m probably not going to hit target this month. I need biscuits for my volunteers this morning ( they work for free so the least I can do is pay them in tea and biscuits) So today isn’t a NSD
Next month I really must do better as I’ve the June holiday balance to pay so every penny is going to need to stay firmly in the bank until needed.
Have a lovely weekend
Pay off by Xmas 2026 £175/£2324.67

Aw sounds like you’re doing a great thing! That could quite possibly be worth a lot more than an NSD xxcuddlymarm said:Good morning guys
