  • hello yummymummy10 and welcome!
    I'll change and update my first post to act as a challenge members page :)

    Was thinking of breaking things down month by month, so rather than a massive amount to clear, it's split into (hopefully!) more manageable chunks

    Eek, I think there's one that runs year on year, but this is a new one I made as I couldn't see a current one looking forward, hope no-one thinks I'm nicking their thread, it's just as I couldn't see one...

    anyway, now that's done with..

    Welcome fmess :) It's good to know we're all in the same boat and heading the same way! :)

    Do you guys want to set an amount to clear in December, seeing as we have the full month to go? xx
