How old are the OSers here

lushlifesaver

Well I'm 17, shall be turning 18 in July, and the only cost conscious, nevermind OS-er, in my group of friends and most of my family - they all just see me as rather tight fisted! but I get it from my dad and my grandmother (his side)! Particularly my grandmother though- I was imparted with all her trics/tips and wisdom before she died=]
Shall even be getting myself a fold up shopping trolley in a month or so ready for uni in september

I'm 38, (nearly 39) single mum to Miss SSL who is 14. We've been on our own for 10 years and I met a lovely young man (31) in 2006. He'll be moving in with us later on this year. He laughs at some of my OS ways, but loves the cooking/baking.

I always thought Twink was younger than me lol

I am 51 and the old man is 61. As we have mostly lived the os way, we are both enjoying a very early retirement. Two daughters one aged 32 the other 27 ( another one who had children at a young age.) We also have three wonderful beautiful Grandchildren. How lucky are we that we are able to be at home and young enough to enjoy their company.

I am 51, DH is 48 and we have 4 lovely kids - DD aged 32, DS aged 29, DD age 17 and DS age 12, and a lovely DGD aged 9. Have always been old style, mostly through necessity, but I think I would still do it even if I was better off - it's very satisfying! Except for DD1 (who is very OS herself) most folk think I'm a bit odd and good to laugh at, but I don't care!

You've got your hands busy..16 months and 3 months:eek:

I'm 37 and my OH is 42. DD is 11 and DS is 9. (my children are 17 months apart and I thought that was hard work, never mind 13 months apart).
