I'm active on this forum: http://www.thriftyhearts.co.uk/forum/index.php

It's friendly, and a nice, little community. It's new and still quite small. It's called Thrifty Hearts and you are all cordially invited.

looks really good. i may well join. although that'll mean i'll barely be off the computer - as im on this forum about 5 times a day as it is!

From the name of the forum, I would expect it to be UK based; however, the couple of posts I just checked out were simply irrelevant for here - they were clearly aimed at US members. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but I find it a bit confusing if that's not pointed out when people post suggestions.

just looked at this site, as am always willing to learn more about frugal living, but don't live in Americq!

The woman who owns the site is in Ireland. Some of us do live in the States. I know of one who is in New Zealand. It'd be really great to have people from all over. I can't always utilize some of the things posted here at ish. Sometimes I don't even know what folks are referrring to. Ish is such a nice place, tho', I just look up things I'm interested in.

Thrifty Hearts has a different purpose than ish. I find the two together a good balance.

You are right. But I always find it a good idea if it is made clear where the posters are from - not the exact location, of course, just the country. Thats goes for Ish as much as for any other site!

Ina, that's a good point. I've suggested it to the administrator at Thrifty Hearts.

Very interesting site I have bookmarked it and will join later

Thanks for the link, I will have a good read of it later when the sun isnt shining. At the moment it is, so I am going to make the most of it and get outside and start clearing up the garden.

There is a growing number of these sites - unsurprising really- given the global situation. This one has s friendly feel to it though, some are just awful excuses to sell things to make you thrifty
thanks for the tip!
