Current Passion..

..frugal living.

I have been reading a lot a lot about this lately and has made this my current project.

For those who are unfamiliar, frugal living is not about living without life's pleasures, rather, it's about saving for those pleasures that you really appreciate.

Going along these lines, I have been:
1) getting a lot of tips from websites such as Frugal for Life
2) joined Freecycle
3) thinking of ways to be more frugal. By the way, we have already been using remainder of our bath water to flush toilets and mop the floors plus we prefer using the fan to aircon. Humaira has been brought up and taught to sleep without aircon.

I wanted to provide some info on Freecycle. It is set up in many parts of the world and is essentially a network where people give away things that they no longer use/need and others can post about items that they need, no cost included (except if you want the person to post the item instead of picking it up yourself, of course). I originally thought that this wouldn't work in Singapore but I was pleasantly surprised to see that people do give away stuff that is of value.

Just like my previous 'movements', for eg, to support the 'Be Kind To Animals' campaign, I know that my current passion will dwindle and I'll be back to the old me soon. But I also know that while my mind is set, I will endeavour to do my best possible.

P.s. By the way, I read that people who live frugally sew their own childrens' clothing and my hubby thinks it's so funny that I am now determined to learn to sew.
