Who is going to continue? Shall we do it again?
It actually may be easier without as many holiday temptations.

I couldn't find a new one, so I made one myself. I couldn't finish this one as my scale ran out of batteries and I couldn't get any more until the new year. Here's the new one though it's only for a month rather than 5 weeks
