They are the little people, living their little lives in their little minds, just ignore! <3 Be proud of what you have and how much you have achieved!

    Thanks @KajiKita and @RedLipstick I know you’re right and I know they are probably envious or small minded. I’m just of the opinion. That if you don’t have anything nice to say then keep quiet.

    Two bottles of shampoo / conditioner recycled and out the house. They were a product trial I did but I didn’t get on wit them so feel at ease not keeping them. 

    Decluttering 2/104.

    Went to check the cupboards and freezer and although didn't find any chocolate, I've found some leftovers rum and raisins ice cream, that will do! I have managed to plan out dinners for almost 2 weeks with some of the foods I have rediscovered lol

    Ignore the small minded person, they sound like a 'keeping up with the jones's' type and in all honesty I pity those people. There's so much more to life than having a huge house, fancy new car, a brand new phone every month etc, usually all on credit and just living to pay their bills every month. You're aiming to do and are doing so much more than that and you should be proud of yourself! x
    Mortgage Balance as of Jan 25 £23,500
