Default doing things the wrong way around!

Hi everyone!

I've actually posted a few times already but never introduced myself. How rude of me!

I came across this site when I was looking for a few money saving tips but have now realised that there is a lot more to the frugal life than that. It's been really interesting learning from you all and so hope I can put a wee bit back.

I live near Manchester, England with DH and my furbaby bunny - Posh . I'm 20-something (I forget how many). I have a degree in philosophy and linguistics.

I spend my time writing, gardening and doing various crafty projects (cross stitch, cardmaking, silk painting amongst other things).

Wow, I have a pretty good life don't !!

Look forward to speaking to you all a lot more

Hi there!

I'm a Brit also, from Birmingham. Been living in Perth, Western Australia for 25 years and love it here, especially in the summertime!
