    Hi Mumzy, Truthseeker is the youngest person to have joined the challenge, but I'm sure you are the youngest frugalite with the responsibility of a house and 2 children. Not even sure Truthseeker is still taking part as I haven't seen them on the thread recently. :)

    Yep, I'm 19 but I feel a bit of a cheat on this challenge since I don't have utility bills and sponge off my parents in the holidays! It's still good discipline for me though. I think you must be the youngest challenger running a proper household, mumzy :)

    Hi Andromache, I hadn't forgotten you and was just having a little laugh at your signature - do you think you'll manage on what's left? It's the embarrassed smiley next to your figures that I find so funny, not you. :rotfl:

    Hi Mumzy, truthseeker is 18 and, like adromache, is on a student budget. Hmm... yep, I am positive that you are the youngest person on here who has a family and runs their own household. Oh! You know what that means, don't you? You will need to be our main under 21's representative in the 2008 Frugal Games! :D :T

    Hmm... It also means that there will be a few of us (me!!) who have already made it into the under 50's category because we have outgrown the under 40's!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Can I apply as the youngest granny? (My DGD is 3)
