    Smile Newbie here

    Well I best introduce myself, since I didn't do it when I joined up. My name is Rochelle and I'm 30yrs old married to my wonderful husband Matt (33yrs old). We been emptynesters since December 22nd 2004, same time I lost my son. We got two girls, Sarah 8 lives with my ex's parents and Amber 5 lives with my mum. I currently can't look after them due to medical and mental reasons. We on Public Trust for 2 years and we only get $40 on Monday, $120 on Wednesday and $60 on Friday. Even though I get all that I can't seem to get enough food. That why I came here for some advice and met other frugal people.
