Old Style Daily Christmas Day 2025
Morning all. Just a brief pop in to wish everyone the happiest Christmas possible. 🎄🎉🎁 My best gift has been my wonderful nephew flying up from Birmingham to surprise me in my hospital room yesterday.

Saving money on food deliveries
I hope someone can help me because I cannot find a way out of my problem. I have to have food delivered as I live 2 bus journeys from the supermarkets and coming back on 2 buses with a load of shopping is never gonna happen. However, I usually have to add stuff I don't really need to make up the 40 or 50 pound basket…

What is FLYLADY?

It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole task easier and quicker. We also…

O/S Daily Friday 19 December 2025
Good morning, it's an early start, but I've been awake for a while so thought I might as well get up. It seems dry and windy outside as far as I can tell. Yesterday went as planned, I went to the Dr's with Dh, and he had his procedure, a keratosis removed from his face. He's ok, but is starting to bruise. When we got home…

OS Daily Wednesday 17th December
A very early good morning 😬 We are leaving here at 3 to go to the airport, luckily we are only about an hour away so not too far to travel. Dinner tonight will be in a lovely little Italian restaurant overlooking one of the canals I’m sure. Nothing much else to report, no housework of washing to be done till we return on…

Do shops ever run out of turkeys at christmas
I am hosting 10 this Christmas. I am thinking two turkey crowns at each end of the table. Going to get frozen because for me, it’s all about the trimmings. I have limited freezer space. But I was wondering if anyone has known the shops to run out of turkeys at Christmas. Was going to buy them on 22 or 23. They will slowly…

Christmas tips - postmen, dustmen, deliveries etc?
Just curious.......for those of us who choose to tip dustmen, postmen etc at Christmas (and yes, I know, they're just doing their jobs and nobody tips the till operators in Tesco!) what's reckoned to be a reasonable amount? I'll kick off with £25 for the postman and £25 for the guys who collect the rubbish, but I'm…

How to 'wrap' tickets bought for grandchildren to make it special??
I have two grandchildren in Australia and 3 here in UK. We are very lucky to all be meeting up in Sydney next year and I have bought tickets for Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb as Christmas presents for them all. A bit selfish, I won't be going, but hope the photos of them all together will be the biggest gift for me. Any…
