    Hey :)

    I'm 22 and live with my boyfriend and a cat called Friday. Looking for a job with limited success, doing odd jobs, mystery shopping and ebaying here and there to help with the bills. Trying to clear my debts to afford a modest wedding (been together 5 years) and the training for the job i really want to do. Always been into making stuff, cooking, sewing, cosmetics etc. so I think I will have lots of fun on this board.

    Another long time lurker here. Mother of two DSs and wife to a DH :D. I joined originally for money saving tips after I cut my working week down from 5 days to 3. I was getting bad bouts of depression and stress and fewer hours has helped incredibly with that. Doesn't help with money in the bank sadly! I carefully worked out the budget and we got along fine for a few months. Unfortunately rising prices everywhere means that the slack is getting eaten into all the time so it's time to be much more organised with meal plans and so on! I've always thought I was pretty good with leftovers and making from scratch but you guys are way ahead of me. Lots to learn :)

    I'm a SAHM and home educator of my very special girly. I have recently joined up on the board and we are go with our CCCS dmp. I love to sew, cook and craft and I love home made things. Our lives are currently changing for the better and I have been married for over 20 years. DH works really hard to keep his girlies at home as school just wouldn't work for my girly. We are doing well so far. I love to cook from scratch and have started making things from scratch that you wouldn't think twice about putting in your basket at Tesco or wherever like flour tortille wrap (easy recipe) and naan breads! Looking forward to taking part and gleaning loads of useful info from you lovely people.

    Not a stupid question, If you reply to a thread it is put on your list of subscribed threads, unless you (as freakyogre says) opt out/in via the thread tools.
