1) 'read 20 classics' i have changed at dd1's suggestion to 20 books recommended to me.
I have realised that I have done quite a good job of decluttering this year and what's really challenging me is a shed load of paper (well several boxes / drawers / laundry baskets as i don't have a shed but you know what i mean) so I've changed 2020 items to 2020 minutes decluttering
18) 'walk 2020km'. my fitbit died a death (it was rather old) and i have decided not to buy a new one. so instead I am going to bake bread 20 timesMrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025
