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

Recipe Sticky
I’m not on MSE nearly as much as I used to be. Was there not a sticky which linked to a massive recipe list with links? Or did I dream it? I was looking specifically for slow cooker recipes:D

Organising a linen cupboard
A while back in order to give us some additional space to store towels and bedding, a cupboard was built over our stairs with the door on the landing.

How to get black lead off floor tiles
Decades of cleaning my wood burning stove with black lead has left stripes and smudges on the floor tiles around it. Does anyone know how to clean them up? Normal cleaning products, scrubbing and a steam mop do nothing! Thanks.

Lemon drizzle cake with mashed potato
Don't suppose anybody has the National Trust recipe for the lemon drizzle cake using mashed potato instead of flour that that has hit headlines this morning. Would be interesting to try and make it for charity fund raising cake sales where people are looking for gluten free products.
