Favourite classic threads on OS

Bluegreen143

I may be a bit sad 😆 but I love rereading some of the older long-running or classic threads here on OS, diaries on DFW etc and usually have one on the go at any time to dip into. Things like the Weezl challenge threads or the tougher threads etc. Just wondering if anyone else has any recommendations for old threads on here that are really inspiring ☺️

Hi Bluegreen, have you tried the one by D&DD Something about family of 5 shopping from home? Mumtoomany

I'm concerned at the mod posts saying that posts have to be about moneysaving.  The whole board is really and especially OS.  I am a regular on 5 OS pleasures, whilst not always directly referencing money saving they are indirectly - often giving ideas for days out, meal ideas, what to do with second hand furniture etc.  I'm concerned these types of threads may go..

Otherwise i do love the Konmarie, prepping and charity shop threads.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the appearance of the mod posts 🤔 I have taken to mentioning £££ & MSE everywhere I post 😉  
Like you I feel concerned that the moderators are making unfounded posts & making us all worried that we will lose our favourite threads 😢

I fancy rereading  Weezl's thread but can't find it.  Can you post a link to it please @Bluegreen143?  Thanks.

The link worked @mumtoomany, thank you.  Have bookmarked it so will enjoy having another read of it.

I know this isn't from OS, but this is THE classic thread on MSE. If you've not read it before, I hope you enjoy it!
