I got a message that I had to re-set my password, BUT: I had set my computer to log in automatically, so had completely forgotten my password!

Really healthy eating on a budget
I am simultaneously trying to spend less on groceries whilst eating more healthily. Not to lose weight (though would be nice) but because I get migraines and have quite a serious autoimmune problem. Eating healthily is expensive. For example, I can't eat normal stock cubes so have to buy kallo organic which are £1.60. I do…

We eat some and top it back up again with the same things, eat these, top it back up again and so on and never get to the bottom to give them a good clean out.

lentil / split pea help please
So much experience on this board, so I'm hoping for advice. I cannot get on with lentils - even the finest 'puy' or 'beluga' seem dry & uninteresting; although I love other pulses and cook all sorts of dried beans & peas a lot. This recipe looks gorgeous:…

Weekly Flylady Thread 5th February 2018

It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole task easier and quicker. We also…

How much juice in a lemon/ Lemon Curd
I've been making home made lemon curd all my life. It's been more successful and less successful, but always scoffed and not wasted. I've often wondered about recipes (the Good Housekeeping one I use included) that just state '4 lemons'. I've sometimes added an extra one if they have been very small. Well, this week I went…

Mop recommendations
My kitchen floor is light coloured stone tiles which are textured. We have two dogs so it gets quite dirty and I currently clean it with a steam cleaner, however, it doesn't get into the grooves and I have to do a hands and knees scrub every so often. Does anyone know if there is a type of mop which would get into all the…
