Weekly Flylady Thread 1st March 2021
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…

crowd funded co-operative farmers
Hello, I used to be a regular on this forum, but have just lurked a bit for the last year, for various reasons. Although this might not be quite the right board for my question, the folk on here are very sensible! Possibly because of our championing of fair / ethical trade, DH & I get a lot of ads for farmers saying they…

Less than a penny each for bun cases
I recently bought some empty bun cases for home baking. They worked out at just over a penny each. Yesterday I bought some bun cases with some buns in them. These were just less than a penny each. The buns taste much nicer than the full-price ones.

Why do I love mushrooms but not if they're in soups etc?
I really love mushrooms. They're probably my favourite veg (I know they're not strictly a veg). I'm not adventuress with varieties though only sticking to flat and button mushrooms. When I come to try things like mushroom soup, I cannot abide the taste. I can't describe it it's like an off putting, over powering taste and…

Parcel from China not what I ordered
Has anyone else come across this scam yet? You order an item from a website on Facebook such as a makeup trolley and pay through PayPal and a package eventually arrives but it is not what you ordered but rather a cheap 99p watch instead of a £40 trolley? The company in China provide tracking and the code matches what did…

Bargain Loving Brits on Benefits- TV Programme- Apps for discounts
Evening all, Not sure where to put this thread but has anyone seen the above programme? I think it's pretty good with some useful ideas. They cover people using apps to get coupons at supermarkets and sometimes shopping and then submitting receipts online. I was just wondering what these may be? Thank you :)
