Thank the lord it is not just me with the lists lol. Although have to admit my lists are down to memory being impaired due to ill health (benign tumor) but will hopefully get better once that is sorted, not sure all the lists will dissapear though as am quite liking the total organization

Hi, as you can see Im completely new here! Have been browsing for a few weeks now and am trying to live OS!!
I have 4 children (5 if you count the OH!), age 11, 9 and 2 year old twins, 2 dogs and a cat and am a stay at home mum.
Summer holidays are here, and with the bad weather our house is busy, so all my tidying is to no avail!Although it is a good time to try and potty train the terrible twosome!
Am trying to find the time to go through and read all the threads and getting lots of tips and help from all of you, so now off to bake todays HM bread and maybe some biscuits later!

Hello everyone,

I'm a WHAM too. Taking care of my 3 year old daughter. I love to read the threads here at MoneySavingExpert.com because I learn so many things that can help me in a lot of ways.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

we are pretty old style anyway and have been for years due to the low income we both bring in, we recycle our clothes and household bits and bobs and I patchwork quite often as well, we have a fruit and veg box every week as it is a vegetarian household and we have no TV.

I have recently gone on maternity leave and we are starting to feel the pinch a bit now so I have joined you to see if there is anything else I can do to save money and re use what I already have, and maybe I can share some things we do here.

Anyway after that essay hello everyone :beer::j

Hi cyclura,

Welcome to the Old Style board! :hello: I hope you'll pick up lots of moneysaving tips here and I'm sure you'll be able to share plenty too.

I've added your post to the 'getting to know you thread' on Old Style where everyone introduces themselves.

Hiya, I'm reasonably new here too so I want to get in on the act! :j

I'm currently a 24 year old NHS Dogsbody, soon to be an underpaid NHS Dogsbody. :rotfl:
I live in North West Wales with Mr Maitane who is a trainee solicitor and we have no children (lucky or unlucky, depends on how you see it) nor any cats (seriously upsetting).:p

I've joined the forums hoping to learn how not to be a walking monetary disaster, I currently have a £4000 debt which doesn't look much compared to some but it's enough to make me worry. Unfortunately my mother isn't too hot on being sensible with money so I didn't learn there but I reckon there's a font of knowledge here for me to immerse myself in.

I'm hoping to save enough money for a deposit, once I'm done with debt, and maybe even save enough money myself to pop back to my beloved Barcelona a few times a year to see those I 'abandoned' when I came to Wales.

Any tips would be gratefully received!
