    @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. :):)
    Thank you, yes I’m on track for this month 💪🏻

    @frisby40 that's good to hear! If you let me know how many NSDs you have done so far this month I can add it to the list. People often post every day or every day as part of the challenge to say what number they are up to. :) x
