    I am not the greatest fan of new year resolutions it has to be said.
    However, I will continue to pay down the mortgage & the debt.
    Mortgage has 2 years & 2 months to go I think.
    I am not going to say that I will loose weight or go to the gym.
    I will continue with my yoga & I will continue with my physio for as long as I can.
    I will continue to try to 'be the difference'in whatever small ways that I can.

    Thank you all for your continued support. xxx

    I like that beanie.
    2 years and 2 months will fly past and then you will be MF. You are doing great.
    Just keep plodding :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
