Weekly Flylady Thread 12 August 2024
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.

Strong Wholemeal Flour
We make our own wholemeal bread, and we recently bought some Marks and Spencer own brand wholemeal flour. When we got it home, I looked at the small print on the side of the packet, and the fibre content is only 7%. Most other brands are around 11% or 12%. Does this mean that M&S are processing the flour to remove some of…

No Buy Year
I’m planning a no buy year. My disdain for consumerism has been building for a long time, but this year has been the final nail in the coffin. I don’t need anymore stuff. The environment needs me to stop adding to the rubbish tip. I watched my nieces and nephews, with playrooms filled with toys receive more and more, with…
