    Thumbs up introducing myself

    hello... I will take the easy way and answer the questions
    How did you hear about frugal village? stumbled across it by searching for frugal family community brisbane

    What interests you here? ideas on how to save money to stay out of paid work for longer and then ideas on how to keep busy and not yearn for more money to buy things I dont really need and to be a better mother and citizen and reduce my carbon footprint and see what others are up to to be inspired and encouraged

    What will you contribute? I am not sure, a mother in brisbanes perspective

    Do you know any other members here? no

    How many kids? 2 Ages? aug 03 and may 07

    Tell us about yourself. married, did a 3 year degree at uni (RMIT) in Social Science - Youth Work, but feel my skills are expired and not sure where to begin to evolve ...

    Do you own any pets? we have a dog a beagle she is 8 human years

    Occupation? I am occupied with being a mother

    Married or single? married

    Interests and hobbies? I have lots I am interested in but barely any that I actually do, pretty absorbed by parenting at this time, don't like this about myself
