i have been an OS lurker for a while now and i was just wondering how old everyone is on here i am early 20s and have never heard of alot of these things before

cleaned with vinegar for the first time the other day and it worked really well

i have always done the meal planning thing but have been really encouraged by everyone here to start trying a lil bit more each week :)
The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 5

  • I'm 30, but have been here for years, lurking mainly. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents as a child, and I think that must have influenced a lot of my OS ways.

    I'm 22, 23 in a couple of weeks, I've been in and out of these boards since before I started at university!
    I was raised OS, my parents and grandparents have both instilled OS ways in me for which I am eternally grateful!
    My bf is 27 and is pretty much the same just not as extreme - everyone says I'm the perfect 50s housewife :-)

    If you'd asked this question a month ago I could have said 40s!

    A couple of months ago I could have said the same :rotfl:

    I've been here for a few years and anticipate being here for a while longer :D

    (Can I chance my choice once I hit 50?)

    In my 30s. Joined a few years ago but didn't really 'listen' if you get what I mean. Only started frequenting the boards last year-ish.

    I'm 51 and joined MSE in 2003. The place was a lot different then but just as helpful.:)

    I'm 21, joined when I was 19 (I think!), which is when I first moved out to live with my OH.

    I am 68 next birthday, August, (war baby) how lovely to see so many young people being OS.

    Anyone want to adopt a Nan, who would just love to pass on everything my Nan taught me.

    I'm 54 and been here for 9 years, things have changed a lot since the early days. It is so good to hear that there are so many younger ones coming in and learning tips that we all learned from our Mums and Grannies. :D
