Well, my first blog post should be telling you about how wonderful I am at this thing already and how I can help others. Sadly not! Although I love Martin Lewis and the Old Style boards of Moneysavingexpert.com, I'm still a bit of a novice in comparison to others. Ok, so I'm a lot of a novice...
Just to set the scene, my husband and I are in our 30s with no children. Him and me in our new (to us) house! We have a dream of growing more veg and in fact last year we grew so many green tomatoes that he made Green Tomato Chutney. So, we've already managed to kill off a couple of courgette plants, our pumpkin plant hasn't produced any female flowers yet, our two strawberry plants cropped early but haven't since... oh and we have one bay tree which actually seems to be ok after a dodgy moment last year when it didn't like anything! Our tomato plants may grow RED tomatoes this year. Let's hope so, eh?
In order to be able to afford the things that we still need to do on this house, I'm taking a summer job working in a grain laboratory. It complements the teaching quite well, I don't have to think much and I can leave it at the end of the day. Husband will be staying at home whilst I live with my parents during the week, 60 miles away from home.
