help! Happy flying. What…

Yesterday wasn't a particularly good day from a weather point of view, I think today has to deteriorate as well. Hi Nanny good to hear from you, Hope your Dad will be…

Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd June 2024

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.

Batch cooking
I'm not sure if the Daily Express misquoted Martin's advice on batch cooking. Surely the main way of making the saving is by cooking say 5 meals in an oven at the same time, saving roughly 80% of the energy if each meal was cooked at separate times?

I then refill old…

Determined to declutter and stop waste!
I have a loft and cupboards rammed with stuff I dont need, want or use. Im going to declutter and donate and sell some items. Any money I make I will track here and I will save it up for a family treat. I have peeked into the cupboards and the loft, and it made my teeth itch. First, I need to do an initial sort. Bedroom…
