I'm 53 and OH is 51, we have DD24, DD20 and DS 19. I have been OS on and off really - Mum was totaly OS cos back then there were no convenience food available really and the only frozen food I remember us buying was ice cream:D

I love being OS(ish) but I can't talk about it at w**k as everyone thinks I'm nuts - Still the way things are going they will all be joining us soon:rotfl:

Edit - Forgot to mention we also have a 4 year old nutty German Shepherd

I'm 27, OH is 33, DD1 is 3 and DD2 is 1. I've been trying to be OS since I went on Maternity Leave with DD1. OH is great with the theory but rubbish in practice bless him! Now i'm a SAHM i'm trying to make OH's wages stretch as much as possible.

Hi

I'm 21+DH is 24, I joined when I was 20..... More of a lurker than a poster.

Will have been married for 3 years in August and have just found out I'm pregnant!! :j Woohoo! But v.v. early days so can't really tell anyone yet. Thinking I'll be hanging about here more often to get all the tips I can!

Hi OSers

We also have a scatty Jack Russell who'se nearly 2.

Try to be as much money saving as possible because it just makes sense to me.Just need to convince the family I'm right

Love reading all the threads on the OS boards - this site's addictive!

Hi - I turned 40 just 3 weeks ago:eek: my OH is 47 next month and my Daughters are 12 and 9. Just love OS as I'm a SAHM Mum and like to know my family are eating healthily and having a bit of Scots in my blood I hate wasting money;) Also grow my own veg, got lettuces, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, carrots, peppers and spuds in the garden at the moment. Also got a decent sized Apple tree which bears quite a bit of fruit, have a large Rhubarb patch, blackberry bush and Raspberry canes - OMG I've just realised I've made myself sound like Barbara from the Good Life:rotfl: :rotfl:

Hi, I'm 64, does that make me the oldest so far? Come on someone top that.

I have always been old style, more or less, mostly more. After a few more affluent years we are now tightening our belts ready for DH's retirement next year.

I love this sight and finding all you 'youngsters' having a go at OS is a great encouragement, makes me feel less prehistoric.

Bella.

I'm 37 - the largest age group at the moment! Single, with DS age 9 and DD age 18. I used to be OS, and frugal, but busy lifestyles and (perceived, at least) extra income took over - realised I was in trouble and faced up to it last year, so I've only been here 6 months really - but made so made changes!
