August 2008 goal update

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Well the goal project continues to roll on, and if you read July’s update that figures were down across the board. Unfortunately this trend continued into August. One thing I can say is that this trend mirrors the same time last year to a certain extent, which is interesting. Perhaps it’s seasonal?
