  • Sorry I haven't updated in a bit, DH is quite ill in hospital. I might try and pick some of this back up this week as I need a distraction and something to focus on. This challenge includes everything I love and I can't wait to get back to our boring lives doing all the simple things we love.

    @sammy_kaye18 - you are doing better than me. Last year I didn't manage to complete a single numbered item. Had to re-do my list. Still not doing well.
