    I keep forgetting to update, but since I've taken pressure off myself and gone for 25 envelopes instead of 52 envelopes, I feel a lot more motivated 🤗.

    I've done envelopes, 5, 6 and 10 recently declare, so that's 9/25 envelopes filled. All on the lower end, but once I've got my holiday out of the way, and not trying to accumulate spending money, I'll be able to do more.
