Old style MoneySaving

Morning all. 

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 task easier and quicker. We also…

Good morning it's a dry start here, hope it stays that way. Now back from our little holiday on the N Yorks coast, we enjoyed the break and change of scene. The weather wasn't bad at all, cold of course but we knew it would be. We didn't go anywhere in the car while we were there, just walked round the town every day! Glad…

Morning all. I'm watching the sky, there's a band of pale pink over a band of pale blue.

Hello, We have a freezer full of beef - I've worked my way through all the good stuff and have now been left with a LOT of brisket. I've tried slow roasting it and it just tasted so stringy. Does anyone have any tried and tested fab recipes they could recommend? I'd be very grateful!

As always this challenge is to reduce your own grocery budget to levels that you will be pleased with, not forgetting that we always recommend that you stay inside your own comfort levels and take things gently one step at a time. Remember that this is not a…

Good morning all. 

Has anyone else been on these yet? Anyone know if they have the last page of checkout of 40% offers. I haven't seen any yet. I depend on these for good value meat. Our good butcher in town has closed too. Going to have to look for alternatives!

Is anyone else doing a January Pantry Challenge? Another year has gone by and I've started my January Pantry Challenge again. Inspired by the vlogger Three Rivers Homestead on Youtube. You can set your own rules, but the general idea is to use what you already have in your pantry/freezer and to find where the gaps are in…

Good morning. It's a frosty start again. 🥶

Good morning, I'll be back soon.

Good morning all. 

WELCOME TO SPRING I thought I'd do the lists a little different this week to enable more of us to feel we had achieved something and with spring approaching; each day will give you some basic flying, some deep cleaning choices and some decluttering choices. As ever feel free to pick and mix what needs doing for you…

Morning all. 

Good morning all. I'll be back. 

Good morning all. Not getting up yet! 

Good morning - it's been wild outside all night.
