Yes, it is possible to include all nineteen variations of contributions
on the spreadsheet but that results in a long list. Unfortunately,
there's no way for people to simply enter the amount they want to give
each month. Since individuals are ultimately determining what they pay,
they can choose a lower amount than what is ideally recommended if they
wish. The spreadsheet is just a guide. I've added a note to that effect.

I've added something about data protection. We need to look into whether
we have to register with a data protection agency.

OK. Done.
