Can we start using the oven for Sunday baking again?
Hi, as its been so long since I used my gas oven because it's been so expensive and I've got no idea how much it costs - so I've decided that when the gas (and electricity) prices go down in April I'm going to start using my oven again on a Sunday. I'll fill it up as I always used to, with a small joint of meat and…

Morning all. It's been another wild and stormy night here which matches the day on Friday. My oldest nephew and family are flying off to Australia today, even though I didn't want to go too I could really do with some sunshine.

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…

Window cleaners - just why?
Having not had one in the last few decades, I’m still genuinely puzzled as to why people spend a fortune on regular window cleaning. I can assure you that our windows are every bit as clean as those of our neighbours, because the rain does all the work for free. Pay a window cleaner, and you’ll have sparkling clean windows…

Help - cooking supermarket pork chops.
Hi all, Is it actually possible to cook a supermarket pork chop without overcooking them? They are so thin that every technique I've tried doesn't appear to help. I've grilled, brined, cooked on high heat/low heat and all combinations of the above. All produce either an undercooked or "used insole" chop. Obviously I could…

Welcome to the weekly Flylady Thread. What is FLYLADY? Well, it's our version of the US flylady idea - but we work on the principle that housework is not fun, it's boring, can be time-consuming, is often thankless but, unfortunately, necessary. It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole…
