Thank you, yes I’m on track for this month 💪🏻cathybird said:@Frisby40 yes you'd be most welcome to join! I've added you to the list
I put your target as 15 since that's the figure you mentioned but we are nearly halfway through December, so would that be right for this month? Also, if you let me know your tally for the month so far I'll add that too.
