Old style MoneySaving

Thank you, Valli, for last week's 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…

Morning all from Glasgow. Going down for my hotel breakfast. 

Morning all. 

A while ago there was either a thread- or within a thread- suggestions for adding extras to making Mamade marmalade and now I am searching for that thread. The search engine has come up with ....nada- even posts going back to 2005! Please can anyone find it for me so that I can either bookmark or cut & paste! or even copy…

My, it's a chilly morning. 

Morning everyone. 

Good morning, just starting off, I'll be back soon.

Morning all. Rainy and windy outside

Morning all. Still snug! 

Welcome to this thread. Due to health reasons, I cook without butter, oil, salt, or sugar. I mean literally. 500ml of olive oil would last more than a year, we still have butter in the freezer that dates back to 2021, and we simply never buy neither sugar nor salt.

Morning folks. 

Pinch punch, first of the month. Morning all. 

I recently acquired a very RTC haggis, mostly out of curiosity as I've never tried it before. :o Having tried some, I find I quite like the taste but am less sure about the texture, which is a bit 'gloopy' for my liking (with apologies to all Scots for criticising your national dish! :o ). I now have three quarters of a…

Morning all. Off to shower.

Good morning, don't know what the weather is doing. It rained yesterday. TA, I too am sick to death of January, I think we all are. Hope you had a good lunch with your friend, also Rosy, hope you had a good meet up. Ruby, hope Rob's money situation gets sorted out soon, difficult for you isn't it. SO, did you manage to do…

I have to switch off my panasonic breadmakers (I've got two) just before they bake, as they don't rise enough. After an hour or so, I bake for 50 minutes. I can't set & forget like I always used to, as I would end up with a dwarf, solid loaf. I have changed the flour, the yeast, the quantity of water, but nothing improves…

Morning everyone.
