Dear reader,

A big welcome to New World-thanks for reading and following. I now have 11 followers!

It's so lovely to read your comments and see new followers. It's the first time I've ever written a blog and I'm enjoying it greatly.

My blog was inspired by looking up money saving ideas on the Internet and ways to pay off our mortgage by saving money elsewhere. I didn't realise there were so many brilliant blogs out there with like minded people all doing their bit to save money and try to live on less.

I am hoping to get more followers but I must admit I do find it hard to think of things which you might find interesting, after all I can only give you snippets of my life and hope you might like them.

I often get writers block and wonder what on earth to write.

I'd thought I'd tell you a bit more about me tonight.

I'm a 42 (Scorpio) female.
Have put on weight which I'm cross about and am about 2-3 stones over what I'd like to be.
I smoke, which I am desparate to stop for both health and money reasons but mainly health.
I love cooking (and eating, hence the overweight)
I can take or leave alcohol-Vodka and diet coke or wine
Love holidays abroad but have very recently developed a hatred of flying. Totally petrified! To the point of tears. Don't know why.
No children-met the right man too late.
Love animals especially dogs and horses but anything really.
Work full time (long hours)
Like gardening and general home making
Enjoy long walks and try to on days off wherever possible.
Love National Trust days out which we joined this year.

Goal this year- to find willpower to stop smoking, get slimmer and fitter. I have others but think these are most important to start with.

Any tips for quitting the deadly cigarettes? Have tried patches, spray and hypnosis.
Please, please do add a comment if you have.
