    Happy new year to all the lovely people on this challenge and thanks @cathybird for continuing to support us all on this challenge. ❤️

    I’ve been away from the forum for a good few months, have been facing some tough times with various family members’ health. Despite continuing issues, I’m very much hoping we’re over the worst.

    Wishing everyone the very best for January and the months beyond. 

    I’d like a target of 20 NSDs this month. 

    Good luck everyone 💐
