Ok so here goes.....

This blog is to record my journey through saving money, de-cluttering and having fun at the same time. I've been reading a few other blogs and have decided it's time to make my own.

A suppose I should tell you a little bit about me. I'm Lorna, I'm 32 and live with my hubby and our 3 little boys in Yorkshire. I've recently started working part-time after being at home with the children for the past 2 years and I'm really enjoying it.

We've lived in our house for the past 6 years and it's definitely still a work in progress. We have lots of ideas about what we'd like to do with the house, but at the moment we don't have the cash to back the ideas. We'd like to get rid of our en-suite and convert it back to a 4th bedroom so all the boys can have their own room. We'd like to knock the utility room through, so we can have a big kitchen diner. I'd like a porch and all sorts of other things too, but we'll get there one step at a time.

I'm a bit of a hoarder, but am making a real effort to change my ways. I've been gradually de-cluttering one room at a time, and have taken so many bags of things to the charity shop lately that I can't count them! I'm trying to get rid of all the junk that ends up being moved around from one place to another because it doesn't actually have a home.

Well that's my first post out of the way, so I'm going to relax now and watch X-Factor.
