'cheap' recipe ideas to boost iron but for fussy family
I am terribly anaemic, I had been trying to move the family onto a more pulse/veg forward diet but they and now my body complained! Currently 5 adults, with various allergies/intolerances/quirks.

I should say, I have been using a pressure cooker for quite a few years and bought this one to replace my trusty Prestige 6L which had come to the end of its life. Their…

Reverse Meal Planning
Not sure if many of you will have tried the reverse-meal plan idea. Rather than buying all the ingredients you need to support your meal-plan, you look at your fridge, freezer and store-cupboard and meal plan from that, minimising what you shop for.

Weekly Flylady Thread 7 September 2026
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…

Reading as a cheap hobby
Reading needn't cost anything if you live within walking distance of a library or get a free bus pass. Libraries often put on free activities for children, too. If you're lucky, your local library will be warm and have some cosy armchairs. Some libraries will allow laptops so that students can work on projects and…

O/S Daily Monday 7 September
Morning all. It's bright and sunny here so washing has gone out on the line, although it might rain later. It was really hot at the Heritage Day event yesterday and we struggled to find a space on the field set aside for car parking. Lots of people around, which was good for all the traders. Didn't get home until 7pm and I…
