Weekly Flylady Thread Pick'n'Mix 13th October 2019
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 task easier and quicker. We also…

It's my first time budgeting for food and I feel lost and overwhelmed
I will admit right away that I've never properly budgeted for groceries, but it has now come to a point where I have to start as circumstances have significantly reduced to income. My household consists of 2 adults, 2 cats, a large dog, a cockatiel and a snake. I'd estimate that I currently spend about £15 per week for the…

Cleaning cobwebs / lightweight handheld vacuum?
I did a little bit of googling about cleaning cobwebs the other day, and was absolutely thrilled to find the suggestion that if you rub one of those fluffy dusters with a plastic bag you 'charge' it and it picks them up better, and THEN when you've made it all mucky, you rub it with the plastic bag again and all the muck…

Has anyone come across ricklingberries (possibly in Norfolk?)
A challenge from a neighbour, who was asked about these by an acquaintance who was an evacuee in Norfolk during WW2. He remembers 'ricklingberry jam'. I have checked the spelling, but of course, he may not have the correct one. I also wondered if it was a word used to describe wartime jam that sometimes had things like…

Why do carrots go black?
Over the last few months I've noticed that fresh carrots never last but turn black within a couple days, even the "loose" ones (though I know they're just pre-packed in bigger quantities and opened on the shop floor). I always take them out of the plastic (if pre-packed) as soon as I get home and I've tried putting them in…

Tinned Duck gizzards
I bought some tins of these in France as they are a delicacy, but I have no idea how to cook them. I opened a tin yesterday and they are delicious and I think packed in duck fat. Anyone used these and any recipes, preferably autumn ones. I know the word gizzard sounds revolting, but trust me they are not:D
