    @doingitanyway absolutely everyone is welcome, no one here can say someone can't join, it doesn't work like that (in case I need to say that)! xx Sometimes I worry that people who join the challenge but then don't finish or reach target for whatever reason think they can't rejoin the following month, but that's absolutely when people should rejoin (I think) :)
