This is all about being clever, and using older methods to cut costs. In many ways its about doing things yourself without relying so much on modern consumerism. Now as you may know, I'm not such an old chap myself - yet we've a saviour.

After popular demand 'Cathy' has agreed to become Moderator of the Borad. She has quickly become a cult MoneySaving figure on here, and has a wonderful knowledge of hints and tips on how to do things for yourself, cooking, and the works. Of course EVERYONE is welcome to contribute and to ask questions. I do hope you enjoy this board - and huge thanks to Cathy for volunteering.
