                Happy New Year everyone. I'm sure you've all made your new year resolutions.

                So my first monthly challenge to you all is either to post or win a competition with a link to new years resolutions.

                The link can be as tenuous as you like (I'm sure Lucinad will help here). For example, it might be a competition where the title is to win a high resolution camera, or if your resolution is to get fit, it might be a gym subscription, or it might be a book where the title contains one of the words such as 'new' or 'year'.

                For posting, you get one point for each one you post, for winning, you get 5 points for each one you win. I will tot the points up at the end of the year and we can see who is the champion of the monthly challenges,

                Any prize you win or post can still be counted towards the main challenge. This is just for a bit of fun. Even if someone reading this is not part of the main challenge, but wants to have a go at this, you are most welcome.

                Wishing you all health, happiness and lots of visits from the comping fairy in 2020.
