Hi Housework*Fairy - of course you can join.
When Helen pops in she will add your name, number, target and progress to the first page. In the meantime, keep us updated on how it's all going.
All the best.

Aaw, Helen, so sad to see you go:(. Says she who has been quite a stranger on here for several months:o. I've been popping in when I could though as it's always nice to keep up with people's successes and even the setbacks too. I hope you'll keep on doing the same. It's such a lovely, supportive community on here:j:T
I hope life will treat you well in 2019, and beyond too of course. Thank you so much for starting the thread in the first place and for always being such an encouragement and comfort to us all whatever life has thrown at us and you. You're a brilliant motivator:A
Take care of yourself:kisses3:0 -

Bless you, Dobbi, for taking over the reins:T:T:T. The thread couldn't be in better hands, you have always been so supportive and encouraging to us all over the years and unfailingly welcoming to new members:A
I'm not sure yet whether I'll be participating during 2019 but will have a think and let you know. I'll look out for the link though and subscribe. There are various other challenges I'm planning to set myself next year:eek: both on MSE and elsewhere so my plans are still a bit fluid.
In the meantime, Dobbi, I wish you personally, Helen, and everyone who posts on here or just reads what others post a very happy and healthy 2019. May all your wishes come true:beer:0 -
Thanks so much @dobbibill! I am excited to get cracking in 20190

Thank you CBC for your very kind words and well wishes.
There is no pressure to join the new (part 2) thread. You are always welcome. You too have been very supportive to everyone new and old on the thread so thanks.
I plan to hold everyone's numbers for a few weeks to give people time to prioritise their plans. As you know, you would always be welcome back if you did decide to focus elsewhere for the moment.
Whatever challenges you tackle, always keep on keeping on
