Hi,
I'm Jinty and I too have been lurking on this forum for a long time and enjoy reading about the lives of other especially the regular posters who make me laugh in these hard times.
I am married with two grown up children plus have 6 wonderful grandchildren. I am fortunate to be gainfully employed at this time and enjoy all the being OS and using the ideas and recipes willing shared by the contributors,so Thanks0 -
Hi :wave: I'm 28 and work full time. I've mainly used the DFW area of the site, but I need a lot of OS knowledge
I can follow recipes, but I struggle to plan meals or menus. When I go food shopping I pick out what I fancy and pretty much have to shop whenever I want to cook. Taking a basketful of food and turning it into 3/4 days worth of meals is like wizardry to me :eek: Flash wipes are my best friends and I've never heard of Stardrops :eek:
Looking forward to learning how to be OS!Impending doom! :eek:0 -
It's great to see lots of new people to contribute on OS! Welcome!Love and compassion to all x0

Welcome to you all! Good to see you on the OS board - hope we can help!

Hi everyone, I was a regular sometime ago but not posted for ages. Basically my marriage broke down and now at the age of 46 find myself starting a new life.
OS and money saving more important than ever now so I look forward to all the tips and ideas you ladies give.
My name is Karen by the way:hello::hello:Well Behaved women seldom make history

Its good to be here and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and learning from you all!

Hello, also a lurker coming out of the shadows!
I'm used to living frugally and we're trying to reach that self-sufficiency dream.
'We' are myself, husband and 4 year old son, 2 dogs, 18 cats, 3 hens, 2 mice and 2 goldfish.
If it wasn't for the zoo we'd probably be a lot better off money wise but we love them and the house would be too quiet without them all!0 -
Welcome to all of you!
It's great to have you here
