    2/24 today please Cathybird.  Feel all motivated after seeing how I am doing against my annual target.  Its great to have that challenge alongside the monthly one so that when you have a month where you don't do so well you can look at that instead!
    @oceandreamer me too - it really helps to see it add up month after month. Sometimes I think it's easy to underestimate all the AFDs we do :) xx

    Same here. Despite my dismal score in June when I was on holiday, I'm still on track for the beautiful peacock. 😍

    @maman honestly I'm sure no one expects to do lots of AFDs on holiday, so don't think your score was dismal at all! xxx :)
