  • Whoops.....seem to have missed the last week or so, but then only 2 more NSDs to declare.

    Final total is 11/18. Dismal for me but I need to reorganise my life after starting full time work. Four weeks in and I feel like I'm running backwards instead of progressing. Oh well, February thread here I come.
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:

    If anyone joined up at the beginning of January but hasn't posted since, I had to remove your names as there was too much text on the post. If you let me know that you've met your target I will add you again - sorry about that.

  • Hi Spoon

    I know it's feb already, but just finished my calcs for Jan and I managed to hit target (10NSDs)! :j It's my first month, so am very proud of myself. Your last post said to let you know for updates etc. Apologies for being late, is it still ok to get my prize? I know you do loads on this thread- will get better organised in feb and do scores on the doors in good time! Thanks. :-) This thread has been a real motivator :-)
