    Default Newbie!

    Hi everyone. I have just joined and thought i would complete the very handy questionaire, so here goes;

    How did you hear about frugal village?
    During a google 'frugal search'!

    What interests you here?
    Well, i now work part time due to health problems, so need to save money. However, i do find hearing about the frugal things that others do very interesting

    What will you contribute?
    I hope to be able to come up with some money saving tips of my own that others may find helpful.

    Do you know any other members here?

    Not yet!

    Tell us about yourself.
    Well, i'm divorced and live with my furkids in an apartment in the city. I am quite active in my church and also get quite involved with my community.
    I also care about the environment so i recycle, buy second hand whenever possible and compost. I also try to not use my car unless its essential, tho that is easy to do in the city.

    Do you own any pets?
    I have 2 'furkids'-pugs called Phoebe (3 years) and Lola (6 years)

    Occupation?
    I work at an advice centre in the city centre

    Married or single?
    Single

    Interests and hobbies?
    Reading, the internet, walking, animals, my church, sewing, knitting, cooking-but most of all, SAVING MONEY!

    Well, that is all for now-i do hope you havent nodded off and look forward to being part of the community.
    Julia
