Sometimes it's really great to get things wrong - £1697.44 and only £310.56

I got it wrong. And that was really a good thing. Although only because I realised what I had done wrong.

It was something that made me add 2 columns to my spreadsheet and complicate my equations - though if I could have used IF and THEN functions I probably could have done in in a tidier way but...

So... what was it?

It was 28% gift aid. Not on everything of course, but on enough of it to boost the total by £229.04

Haha hoho hehe.

And that means that all I have still have to raise is £310.56, or £242.63 if they all count for  gift aid. So, if you ask me, that means I'm well on target.
