Evening All...

Post: # 55471Post Trying2BGreenMummy »

Hello to all you wonderful people here!
What a fab site!!
I'm Janine, a 20something single mum of 2 thats doing everything in budget to be as minimal a carbon footprint as possible!!! I only statrted recently so this is all new stuff to me but I'm doing well so far..I think!
I'm a bit young for the goodlife but have seen the odd re-run on TV and would love to be completely self sufficient even if it is a bit too optimistic!!
I'm sure I'm going to find all the inspiration and help I need on here judging by the posts I've read so far....
Keep up the good work guys!

Hello fellow mummy!

Don´t worry about trying to be green on a budget - less is more when it comes to being green, and sometimes having to save money leads to inspiration and invention.

Hello and welcome to selfsufficientish.

One of my good friends is a single mum and she wants to be selfsufficientish. As one of her children is still under 1 years old she finds making time difficult, is it the same with you?
