Hopefully might get out into the garden later if the weather keeps calm. Salmon for dinner tonight. Have a good day all x

24 for 2024
OK, it's that time again! I know a few people have done this in the previous years, but I'm making a start on getting organised (or procrastinating over my 23 for 23 list 😂) The idea is you have a list of 24 goals, that you do 24 times during the year.

The all new using what you have from your Freezer, Cupboard or Shed (Barn)
It is probably time to have a new thread for this. What do you have in your freezer? In your cupboard/shed? Do you have a veg patch or allotment? What did you manage to store, preserve or freeze? I, myself, like to cook following a recipe, but love to add veg from my allotment!

Welcome to the weekly Flylady Thread. What is FLYLADY?

The idea of this thread is to give us a place to post comments/suggestions, to be able to chat about our current work in progress (WIP), share patterns/tips/tricks, and post pictures of our completed work…

Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?
Just thought this would be quicker reference than what's for dinner or searching through lots of posts? There used to be one a while back, Meal Plan Monday or obviously whatever day you start yours on 🙂 I did post mine in the Grocery challenge, but will post again for anybody that doesn't join in with that thread. Vegan…

Storing spices in bulk? I.e putting them in containers, on shelves etc?
I bulk buy spices from Asian supermarkets as they are cheaper than regular supermarkets often by a long shot but often means I may have 2/3kg bags of each item and means I have 1 cupboard in my kitchen that is purely for spices, stock cubes, and tea/coffee and I have 4 more cupboards in the kitchen but they are all…

I bought the offer three times a week. We loved the yogurt which is thick and creamy. Discovered yesterday that the offer is no more. That means we would have to…
