The Knitters Thread
Following on from the recent thread about handknitting it is apparent that many of us OS'ers are also keen knitters. The idea of this thread is to give us a place to post comments/suggestions, to be able to chat about our current work in progress (WIP), share patterns/tips/tricks, and post pictures of our completed work…

Prepping: the new world...
Thought it was about time for a new Prepping thread... Please keep it on topic, friendly and realistic for life in the UK (i.e. no hurricane basements, no guns, no politics). For those that don't know, the Guides & Scouts among us will be prepared, but are the rest of us ready? IMPORTANT NOTE: this thread is a resource for…

Good morning all. Thanks for the good wishes for the MOT, car sailed through no problems and no advisories. The service was fine too. It all took nearly three hours. The early drive down was really enjoyable, so a good day. As I got ready for bed last night I realised that I'd brought two pyjama tops and no bottoms so I…

Weekly Flylady Thread 23 February 2026
WekcometotheweeklyFlyladyThread 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…

Winter Wonders
There are approximately eleventy billion days till most people get paid, it is freezing and dark, and some peculiar people think this is an ideal time to be strict with or deprive themselves 😁 I think this is an ideal time to identify and make peaceful progress on OATs while we're hunkering down, and reward ourselves with…

Good morning, I think it's fine here, I can't really tell. Yesterday wasn't bad, it was quite mild. Well, by our standards! Happy birthday to anyone whose birthday it is - I know there's quite a few at this time of year. Yesterday was an ok day, just the usual stuff. We're going away for a week on March 7th to a holiday…

Weekly food shop and meal planning
Hey 👋 I'm intrigued to know how people do their weekly food shop. I hate my weekly chore of scouring recipe books for my meals then writing out a shopping list, it's such a laborious task. Do people use recipe books? Are meals planned ahead? Are meals decided on while in the supermarket?

Weekly Flylady Thread 16th February 2026
We often see new flyers (gents welcome!) around this time of year so please don't worry if you feel you cannot keep up. Similarly if your house has been neglected it won't be turned around in a day - but if you stay you will get into some good habits which do help! Happy flying. Thank you, Valli, for last week's thread.…
