Weekly Flylady Thread 6 May 2024

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

Save on Kettle Descaler
De-scale the kettle by boiling chopped up lemon and leave it overnight. A clean kettle will boil quicker and save electricity. A lemon costs 35p whereas that dreadful chemical stuff costs at least £2.65 and leaves traces of chemical in your drink and in the environment. Win Win.
