    Default Another British Newbie!

    Hello everybody!

    What a wonderful site! I suppose you want to know a little about me?

    Right, well, I'm a SAHM, been married for 2 years and together for 5. We live in South Wales, UK.
    We're into frugal and self-sufficiency, but I worked a full-time 50hr week job for 2 years and it's only the past 6 months since I quit that we're getting back to our ideal way of life.

    We are both hippies that were born a couple of decades too late!
    We share our home with 15 cats, who make it hard to be frugal! But we love them to pieces and wouldn't have it any other way!

    I have interests in veganism, animal rights, environmental awareness, wine-making, cooking, baking, F.A.M., sewing, vegetable and herb growing, bhuddism, new age therapies, holistic and alternative therapies, herbalism, yoga, and I have a wide range of musical tastes.

    My husband owns two cars (much to my dismay), an original Mini Cooper and a Morris Marina.
    He saves us money by being able to service and fix them himself.

    Anyway, I think that's as much as I can tell right now.
    See you around the forum!

    Hello, welcome to the village.
    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
