    I'm 39; at home it's just me and DD who's 19. I'm trying to plan an OS 40th bash ;)
    I spend most of my time (even at work, lol) between here and the Freebies forum.
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    I'm 60 and remember being OS the first time round. It's great that there's so many younger MSE-ers here doing what we oldsters HAD to do 30 years ago. (not great that you're HAVING to do it , but great that you're trying to lead a better life for less).

    I'm 64 and remember a bit of OS from childhood and my Mum having to make ends meet.
    Also remember well days before we had central heating and times spent at grans with electric but no water in the cottage -well in the garden and later next door's outside tap - bucket loo down the yard,hens, home grown veg etc.

    Just me, OH and one lad we foster at home now.
