Our Old Style description

No. 2 for me please, but with Queenie's amendment re. "healthy" in place of "E numbers".

Rubber chicken always reminds me of that joke... Man in Chinese restaurant "Waiter, this chicken is rubbery"... Waiter "Oh, thank you velly much sir". :rotfl:

I haven't posted yet on the roll call thread (can't remember proper title - it's me age ) as I am so boring, but will do so now! Won't affect the youngies count though .

Hey how long have we had all these extra smileys? :grouphug: :hello: :think: :idea: and there's more - brilliant!

number 4, and yes reclaiming control of your life instead of being dictated to by big business!

Both two and four sum up for me what goes on here, but I also really like Queenie's option five, which I think is snappy and also spot on. It IS about "lifestyle", so I think that's a good word to include in the description.

I feel that living well and happily within our means is an important part of what we do, as it is the reason for the menu planning, budgeting, etc...

Not trying to be funny but as a teenager would you prefer being out with your mates or looking on this board for tips? Um well exactly they want fun not looking how to save money unless your a student and there is a board for that. We should change the name for the sake of it I say leave it as it is.

Lifestyle is in some of the options

I like 4 , although I agree the last line should be "Take control of your life!"

I'm 18 and I come on here although I probably lurk more than I post

To me, although I haven't got a catchy way of putting it, this board is a bit like your mum or grandma passing on to you how to do things etc.

I agree, hence that part in my ditty ...

Queenie, now don't be offended, and I loved your rhyme, but it's just that the two lines you quote above don't actually (rhyme) .


If I might be so bold as to suggest an alternative, just for those lines.....

Home-made gifts and things for free
Passed on down the family tree...

That would make your brilliant poem scan, so whatdya think?

:rotfl: :T I think it's brilliant (But, in all seriousness, mine was just being silly! We have to choose from Options 1 - 4 )
