    Morning all,

    The total PAD for 28 December 2023 was ยฃ237.83

    We're all plodding along with our individual goals, and whether we have set backs or we breeze through it all, the main thing is that we appreciate the journey as much as the goal itself...
    Success is not about reaching the goal itself Its about who we become in  the process  Goals Goal quotes Success
