How old are the OSers here

Hi, i'm 21, the OH is 25, and the LO is 3.

I'm a lurker, but really trying to be OS! My OH's a butcher, so free meat, eggs, cheese, jams etc so really need to develop my OS cooking skills to make the best of this free resource! I'm a teaching assistant at the local middle school.

Hi,

I am 37 and DH is 35 and we have a 12yo DD and a cat.

More of a lurker than a poster

ok then i admit to being 59 seeing as how i am not the oldest here with 2 sons and a daughter and 3 adorable grandchildren

i remember holidays with Gran who had an outside dry toilet, outside tap and no electricity just the tilley lamp and a wet battery for the radio, horsehair seats, and a mangle for the clothes but home grown fruit and veg, a clean house and lots of happy memories

I'm 24, first joined when I was 19.

I live with my Mum, Nan and nutcase dog. I've just bought a flat, so have a mortgage. But the flat needs doing up so not in there yet. Got to replace the windows, kitchen and bathroom. Also help with the council tax at home and pay around £120 a month in petrol just to get to work and back. Can't get public transport as i start at 5.30am and no train line.

Hi, I'm 37 single mum, DS is 9 next week. Never been married. I remember my teens living with my mum and step dad in a house with an outside loo and no bathroom, just a sink in their bedroom. Quite amazing as it wasn't that long ago, but they were saving to do the home improvements when step-dad's gran died and they inherited the house.

I was brought up on home cooked food, i didnt even have a McDonalds until i was about 20!!! I love cooking, and although DS is trying more things now, DD is Miss Picky Knickers - but they both prefer home made food to ready meals!!
