Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd September 2025
Welcome to the weekly Flylady Thread. What is FLYLADY?

It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole…

Simplifying Food: simple no fuss meals
I'm not a massive fan of cooking. Seems a lot of faff just to fuel the body. Plus all that washing up after! My favourite meals seem to be simple, English traditional stuff. Cottage pie, roasts, casserole etc. With the crazy cost of food, I'm looking to find some simple, no fuss tasty lunches and dinner. Probably around 10…

Jam not setting
I've had a go at making strawberry jam today, and it's not setting after we've put it into jars. I don't think I had enough lemon juice to introduce pectin. If I get some more lemons tomorrow, could I reboil it with more lemon and get it to set? ETA a bit of research on line suggests this is possible. I'll have another go…

O/S Daily Sunday September 21 2025
Good morning, it seems to have stopped raining, for now anyway. It hammered down all day yesterday. The garden is in a terrible state, what a mess! Dead leaves that have blown in, weeds, plants that need cutting back, it'll get done though. I nipped to Morries yesterday, needed a few essentials. Then it was house stuff.…
