    Almost at 10% before the end of January, very happy with that :T

    Why thanks you, sadly I dont have access to issue numbers and im not sure if you can gain access as an admin to a thread.

    I will try and find out, If Ellie is finding it hard to keep it up, I may just allocate numbers to keep things moving.

    I have set everyone at £365, please let me know if you want a different total.

    Hopefully Ellie will be on soon, but I have update totals as much as I can, using my phone tad difficult.

    Let me know if its wrong, or Ellie if she is on.

    No problem, its more that it makes it easier for Ellie when she returns otherwise she will have lots of pages to go through, at least the first two weeks have been sorted.
