    Morning Beanie :) Hope you got a good nights sleep. Only 16 more mortgage payments to make is fantastic :T

    Making Christmas hampers for the food bank is a really lovely thing to do. I know if I were in those circumstances I'd be grateful for the basics but to have a few extras put in as well would just make me feel worthy if that makes sense.

    Have a lovely day. xx
