Morning all and Happy New Year!
Yay, it's a sunny day here, so feeling optimistic. I have been thinking about an emoji for doing the entire month AFD and it does make sense. However I was worried that it's a lot of emojis and the list might end up looking incredibly busy, plus they take up a lot of space going across the page as it is. It struck me that we could have a plain "gold star" for the entire month. It won't change each month like the other emojis, it will always be a gold star. I hope this works! xx

Also we have a new gold trophy for doing 365 days.
I have looked back over the post and I don't think I have a Jan target from Pricey or Season of Mist or annual targets from everyone yet, apologies if this is wrong - just let me know what you'd like!
