Not much going on here today except general…

Saving pennies to make pounds
Thought it would be good to share some money saving tips and would love you to join in. My first tip is something I have done this morning, I have stopped buying mint tea and just have a cheap pot of supermarket mint in the kitchen window, just snip, use and it keeps growing and growing.

Using a old style razor.
Hello. I don't know if this is the right place to post, but it saves me money anyway. Right if you think the price of razors is getting ridiculous, why not try an old style safety razor like the ones that our dads used in the 50,60, and early 70s. I've saved £££ since using one for 3 years now. There is a learning curve to…

Whither parsnips?
Been in three shops today and not a parsnip to be seen in any of them. Is this another one of the weather related shortages or another reason, does anyone know?

Tips for a new mum
Hello! I've been lurking for the last month or so and finally got round to signing up. I'm a new mum, baby is 10 weeks old and after much discussion and plenty of spreadsheeting I think we have come to the decision that I will not return to work after my maternity leave is up. I say "I think" because it'll be tight. So I'm…

Clean Drawers!
This is not a comment on my underthings, but the fact that at long last I have cleaned out my food drawers. Two things accelerated this project. First, a few weeks ago found evidence of moth in some bread flour. This comes from a mill local to my parents. Mercifully I haven't found any sign of them in the actual drawer.…

O/S Daily Tuesday 28th May 2024
Good morning, it's sunny here! Yesterday wasn't too bad after some showers. We didn't go out because the weather seemed so uncertain, but pottered on at home. Your cough sounds bad Gers, I'd thought it was going away. Bit of a cheek from your cousin, expecting you to travel to Germany when they didn't remember your…

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

What's the oldest item of clothing/footwear you still wear?
There was a great thread on this board from 2007: What is your oldest item of clothing? It kicks off with a 40-year-old anorak and a 55-year-old suede jacket. I'd love to know if it's still common to own clothes that last for decades. Please let me know, therefore, what clothing/shoes you've kept in use for the longest?

Good morning, it's a fine start here. Yesterday turned into a lovely warm day, it was really nice. I visited my old friend and we had a good afternoon sitting in her conservatory chatting, it was so pleasant. The decorating is going well, one room is practically done, I just have to put stuff back in the bookcase. I have a…
