O/S Daily Sunday 31 March 2024
Morning all. Everyone up bright and early because of the clock change, right?!! We have a bit of fog here but I'm hoping it's a heat haze as I'm out walking at 11am and would appreciate some decent weather. Managed to pick up my newish car yesterday and drove it back up the M1. Newer cars seem to have smaller engines these…

Weekly Flylady Thread 25th March 2024
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 easier and quicker. We also…

It's a long time since I started the Daily thread! I'm off to visit a friend on her smallholding later, after pegging the last bits of holiday laundry out to dry in the sun. Hope you all have a good day x

O/S Daily Saturday 30 March 2024
Morning all. Am I the first one up today? I'm up early as I'm awaiting a phone call from the Dealership in St Albans to say the car I paid a deposit on is ready for collection. They wanted to rush it through so that it counts as one of their March sales so had somebody service it yesterday and tidy up a couple of bits on…

OS Daily Tuesday 26th March 2024
Good morning, would you believe it, it's raining here, as it did yesterday. So depressing, all this rain. Glad you managed the bereavement café Silver Oldie, I hope it helps a bit.

Old Style Daily Wednesday 27 March 2024
Good morning folks. Yes, it's unfeasibly early for me to be actually dressed, I'm about to head down the road to Glasgow for an optician's appointment this morning. It's a combined eye test and contact lense check so takes a bit longer. No doubt I'll need new something or other. I hope that everyone is doing well.

Can we start using the oven for Sunday baking again?
Hi, as its been so long since I used my gas oven because it's been so expensive and I've got no idea how much it costs - so I've decided that when the gas (and electricity) prices go down in April I'm going to start using my oven again on a Sunday. I'll fill it up as I always used to, with a small joint of meat and…

Morning all. It's been another wild and stormy night here which matches the day on Friday. My oldest nephew and family are flying off to Australia today, even though I didn't want to go too I could really do with some sunshine.

Window cleaners - just why?
Having not had one in the last few decades, I’m still genuinely puzzled as to why people spend a fortune on regular window cleaning. I can assure you that our windows are every bit as clean as those of our neighbours, because the rain does all the work for free. Pay a window cleaner, and you’ll have sparkling clean windows…
