Stocking up for Brexit
I guess that now is the time to do some extra shopping in case of disruption at the end of the month. We're not panicking, but we've stocked up with long life goods that we'd buy anyway, just a bit more than usual. I'd be interested to hear what other people have done/are intending?

Weekly Flylady Thread 11th March 2019
What is FLYLADY?

Paint for a tea tray
I’ve got an small wooden tray that is the perfect size for a small teapot and mug or cup and saucer. It’s looking a bit battered so I’m wondering about painting it. Do I need to buy a special type of paint? I’m thinking maybe a taster pot of the stuff you paint walls with would do (?)

Pork recipe suggestion needed please
Good morning All I’m defrosting a lump of pork - one 500g shoulder steak, to be precise - and I’m completely uninspired about how to cook it.

As I've previously posted, I used a round-up App (on Mozo) for three weeks and saved only £3.94? Anecdotally, I'm hearing people are saving much more. Is this true and how?
