Good morning, it's a bit of an uncertain start weatherwise, I wouldn't be surprised if it rained. We weren't out yesterday, just kept going with the decorating. Rosy, that bus inspector was horrible, I think he was showing off in front of a bus full of people but it seems to have backfired on him. I'm glad people spoke up…

Packed lunch options
When I started working I used to take a cheese sandwich for lunch. The problem was the short life of both the bread and cheese meant I'd never get through it all before it went off plus I got sick of eating the same thing for lunch everyday. I then decided to stop packed lunches and just buy something out, more expensive…

Saving Money With Walkie Talkies
Husband bought us walkie talkies. They have a 5 mile radius so when he is out and about in the town centre or supermarket, we will be able to talk to each other. Useful too when he is in the garden or in his study. I won't have to shout or phone. Only cost is for charging. We've tried them in the house and a few streets…

Ninja CREAMi Breeze Ice Cream & Frozen Dessert Maker
Posting here as us OSers are the most likely to make HM ice cream. Anyone who has seen the deals to be had on the main site will have seen this one. The reason I am going down the HM route is because I love ice cream but the stuff in the shops is ultra-processed and really is full of rubbish. I would rather get away with a…

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