Sorry guys I've been MIA lately, lots going on and struggling with my moods and such  Anyway, I'm back now and trying to focus on the next two months.

• Answer 24 journal prompts of self-discovery and awareness - 0/24 - Still stuck at my big fat zero!
• Build 24 Lego sets - 2/24
• Complete 24 hobbies - 4/24 - I completely underestimated the time this takes, but the positive I'm taking is that I'm no longer mindlessly scrolling on my ipad of an evening, I'm doing cross-stitch which means I can focus more on what's going on around me and not being zoned out if that makes sense?
• Complete 24 things off master to do list - 7/24 - Need a rocket to make some progress on this, this month!
• Declutter 24 areas around the house - 3/24 
• Do 24 things with family and friends - 19/24
• Enter 24 competitions per day - 10/12 Months done and we got to experience an amazing prize win in September, so very happy with this one
• Get rid of 24 items from loft / Garage - 0/24 - Again, I need to crack on with this!
• Go for 24 walks or bike rides over 30 mins - 12/24 - No more excuses with this one. I've set myself a goal of a least one walk a week this month!
• Have 24 fun family adventures - 12/24 
• Learn and use 24 new words - 0/24 - I had a great suggestion a few months back of using these in my bullet journal, so I just need to do that this month
• Play 24 board games - 2/24
• Practice 24 mins of mindfulness each week - 44/52 - Fully on track with this one
• Sell 24 things on ebay / booty sites - 9/24 - With the C word around the corner I need to crack on with this, this month as it'll also help with the decluttering
• Spend 24 mins each week organising photos - 35/52 - I have fallen behind with this, which is a shame as I was really enjoying it so I'm planning to set some time aside so I can catch up
• Treat / do something for myself 24 times - 22/24 - Finding this a bit easier as the year is going on, but still finding it difficult.
• Try 24 new recipes—7/24 - I'm struggling with this one due to the dieting, but I'm giving myself a break and reminding myself that I'm happy with the way the weight loss is going, so I'm not stressing over this one.

🏆 COMPLETED (But still carrying on with)

• 24 Donations to charity - 50/24 
• Have 24 no tech evenings - 40/24 - I've stopped counting this one now as thanks to getting into some hobbies of an evening I no longer want to randomly scroll. This has been a massive positive for me and one I'm pleased I put on the list that's now become a habit.
• Learn or do 24 new things - 27/24 - Thanks to an amazing prize win, I managed to cross a fair few of these off the list
• Lose 24lbs - 32/24 (but have lost 47lbs in total, as I put 15lbs on since the beginning of the year 🤐 before starting at the end of May) - Really, really happy with this one and feel like I'm back in the zone. Still a long way to go but over the moon with this one
• Read 24 Books 37/24 - Love this one still as it keeps me from watching TV in bed to drop off to sleep
• Save £2024 over the year - £2141.24/£2024 - Can't believe I've managed to cross this one off. Still continuing with until the end of the year.
