    I think that Frugal Ways for Modern Days is brilliant!

    Does everyone win slogan type competitions? There are so many good ones suggested! I can never think of anything but always find other people's are excellent!

    I'm deviating slightly from the actual topic, but now that you're at the 1st edit stage (I know there are many more stages to follow) do you have any idea of a possible ETA in the shops (and the release party:o:dance: )? Is there any chance it might be out in time for Xmas?;) We promise not to quote you if it all goes a bit pear shaped:p

    Thanks;)

    My only concen is that 'Frugal' and 'Thrift' go along with 'old' and 'granny' 'wartime' and will stop a lot of people looking what it's all about. Sadly its all about catching the attention of 'gnats' who wanna be 'modern'

    Yes, I can see your thinking there.

    Well, if sticking to the dieting and "beauty" side of money saving is the key ...

    Ok, forget the above :rotfl:

    :think:

    On the other hand, it's only 10 months ago we were talking about the description of the Old Style Forum itself (did we ever get any feed back from those polls? :confused: ) So the two phrases which stick in my mind are ....

    I haven't got a snappy title, but something to balance money saving and environmental benefits might be a good thing. A lot of the old style appeal for me is that I'm not using products that damage the environment. I think that's something a lot of young people want to know about but don't know how to find out.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
