THE OFFICIAL POLL - Old Style Description

squeaky

I have collected all the suggestions that I can find into this one post for our official POLL to find the top four suggestions for changing our Old Style description in the Forum Home Page listing and have included an option NOT to change. If I have missed any suggestions I'm sorry.

Please vote for whichever suggestion you like best.

The vote will be timed to automatically finish in seven days.



ONE

It's about swift thrift, living on a tight budget, cooking and cleaning your house, growing and nurturing your cash. Old Style is about lifestyle, forgetting packaging and marketing and taking control of your home.

TWO

Old Style is about Lifestyle. Making best use of budgets by shopping wisely and thriftily, cooking healthy food with no E numbers, cleaning your house for pennies, growing food, and much much more.

FOUR

Day-to-day moneysaving for everyone: shop thriftily and wisely; clean without overpriced chemicals; cook nutritious meals on a budget; grow and make things from scratch. Take control of your life!

FIVE by QUEENIE

Back to basics: cooking from scratch, homemade cleaners, menu planning, shopping wisdom. Make it, grow it, save, don't waste it. Pinch that penny and squeeze that pound.

SIX by JAZZYJUSTLAW

"Ideas to help stretch your money, shop wisely, cook meals as cheaply as possible from scratch, make, mend and recycle and above all live within your means."

SEVEN by SQUEAKY

Old Style is about making best use of money you've saved elsewhere on MSE. Tips on shopping, cooking, cleaning and more are collected here. Don't just save money - take charge of it

EIGHT by BOGOF_BABE

There's nothing wrong with "cheap and cheerful", getting the best value for every penny, and making a little go a long way without compromising quality of life. So join the club!

NINE

Ooops - missed this Squeaky sorry! I think 5 by Queenie but with a slight change (it may be a mistake anyway) but the bit that reads 'make it, grow it, save, don't waste it' - I keep reading 'make it, grow it, save it, don't waste it'

Ah... yes, I think you slightly misread the post concerened.

What we did was to start the poll on a Friday so it crossed two working weeks so that people going on holiday about now would have a chance to vote.

I have sent a PM to MSE Martin pointing him at both of the discussion threads and the Poll here.

Now all we have to do is wait
