September Goals
Every month I like to set myself goals; sometimes I meet them all, sometimes I partially meet them & sometimes I don't get past week one! August goals have gone pretty well, not 100% met, but I'm human and life sometimes gets in my way, but I've not done too bad, so I want to keep momentum. Basically I'm looking for ideas…

Just add your name to the sheet & your target for March :smile:…

Eczema & feeling sick
