    Hey All,

    Better do this bit too. My names Sarah, loved to bake and cook etc but as I work shifts I kinda only bothered now and then. Money was never too much of a worry as I have been careful since I left home. Anyway now I am 31 (32 in Oct :eek:).
    I had to take time off work sick in May due to stress at work triggering a major depression, (had MH probs for yrs). Shortly after I developed pain and after 3 months I finally got a scan and found out I have gallstones :rotfl:It gets better eh. Waiting now to get in the waiting list system.

    I am here now to learn to be more sensible, meet some new people and learn as much as I can. I am still off work sick and lonely and still have a lot of depression to fight.:cry: I am also having to be so much more careful with money and try not to buy things to "cheer me up".

    Its nice to meet you guys :o

    Hi all :)

    Nice to meet you!

    I am just starting out on this OS lark ;) I have been reading for many years so I feel like I "know" a lot of the people here lol Now is the time to stop reading and putting stuff off but to get on with it and make it work for my family :)

    Good luck all x

    You haven't failed, you have only had a slight setback, you will be back in top notch again, I am sending you best wishes. :)

  • Hi, I've been on MSE a while, but never ventured onto this part before. I'm pretty sure I will get hooked quickly because I love cooking and baking (and eating and feeding others). I'm in my twenties and live with my bf. We both work full time so I'm always looking for yummy things for the freezer or that can be done in half an hour. Hopefully I can pick up some tips from everyone here!
  • Hi all, I work part time and the rest of my days are filled with mum stuff :heartsmil
    I'm also a bride to be, our wedding is next year and were hoping to come the UK for our family honeymoon. So were saving madly.. I know we can do it.
    I love this site so many great ideas :T, i first got hooked when I found Thriftylady's war time experiment.
