It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole…

Best place for new towels
It's time to replace our towels, which are a mis-match of 15 year old hand me downs (those are from Christy) and cheapies. I simply want a nice set of good quality, matching towels in a muted mid or dark blue. Happy to spend up to £200 for 4 hand towels, 4 bath sheets and 4 bath mats. I ordered 'denim' towels from Christy…

Get milk delivered, worried about it in heat as I sleep late - any ideas on how to keep it chilled?
I get the old fashioned doorstep deliveries, the thing is though it arrives normally around 6am sometimes as early as 5am and I normally even on a good day sleep till around 10am, a few times I have woken up during the night to take milk in, but the past weeks heat has gotten to me and I have often slept 10-12 hours on top…

Large 5p's (shillings) and 10p's (two shillings) coins
I have some old 5p's and 10p's dating from after the Second World War to the late seventies. I tried a couple of banks and the post office. They won't take them. Can I get rid of them anywhere?

Teenager (18yo) and 1 week summer intensive course
Last year my daughter gained a place at a prestigious 'company' (not sure how else to describe it, without risking identification). She was 16 when she applied and 17 when she was accepted onto their Junior program. Usually you then do a 2 week day/residential which makes you a member and then you remain one until you…
