As I waft and flitter around the web doing my social butterfly thing I often get people asking me about me and suggesting I write more about me in my blog. I hadn’t intended to do much of that in this particular blog as I plan to have a blog specifically dedicated to the purpose, but, seeing as right now this is the only blog I’ve got and I am the BudgetMama I figured, why not tell whoever reads this a little bit more about the woman behind the BudgetMama Phenomenon, (lol, I made that up, sounds good huh).
This slideshow says a lot…

I’m from a tiny little island in the English channel called Jersey, (which incidentally is the place ‘New Jersey’ was named after). My Grandparents always called me Jerseygirl, so that’s why you may have seen my user name in other places (like Twitter) as JerseygirlinOz….which brings me to where I am living these days, Oz, aka Australia, Down Under; the big island you pretty much can’t miss on the map. I live in that little bit done the bottom, another island called Tasmania, it’s a pretty big island but an island just the same. It was in Australia that I met my husband who would you believe is also from an island, Samoa to be precises. Five years after we were married we had our daughter, Tenille, down here in Tasmania….so it’s pretty safe to say I’m an islander through and through and couldn’t imagine living anywhere that isn’t surrounded by water.

Okay, well I’m not going to go on and on about me because I am a multifaceted woman with  many different ideas, interests and attitudes and of course  my  BudgetMama philosophy is just one of them. And it would be a little vain of me to think anyone would really be interested in all this anyway. But, I will pop back and add to the category more from time to time, but sooner or later I’ll be setting up a blog just for me.

In the mean time if you want to know more about how I came to be the BudgetMama, go to the About Me tab in the menu at the top of the page.

Now, I really must choof, I’ve got so much to do, feed the cats, get dinner ready, post my Chrissy cards, call my sister, shave my legs, give my munchkin a bit of attention……….. sorry, are you still here? Go on, I’m sure you’ve got plenty of your own stuff to do
