'Trashnothing'
Trying this here as had no replies on the ethical board. I've only recently come across this site and I'm somewhat perplexed. The hype seems to insist that it gathers together ads from both Freecycle and Freegle... and yet a cursory investigation of my local scene shows that the vast majority of ads from those two sources…

How to whiten vintage bedsheets
These are from approx 1950 and are lovely cotton but they’re a horrible cream colour and I like bright white. I’ve tried a hot wash with vanish but that made little difference. Should I try pouring a bottle of bleach in and letting it sit for a while? I was also wondering about laying them out on the lawn in the sun, like…

Boil the kettle once, use what you need at the time and fill a thermos flask for the next cuppa!

Weekly Flylady Thread 15th May 2023
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…

Old Style Daily Saturday 20 May 2023
Good morning folks - it's been a while since I started the thread. Yesterday I noticed that my beautiful rose bush at my front door had not only lots of buds but huge numbers of green fly 😱 so I buzzed into town to buy a spray bottle. Once I'd filled it with soapy water I used it everywhere on my precious roses. The bottle…

Carpet indentations from office chair
I've just kitted out my 'computer room' with new carpet and underlay... and it doesn't seem to like the chair I use. This is a standard office roller/swivel chair with five starfish points. Can anyone suggest anything short of the weight-spreading mdf board which OH uses under his exercise bike in a different bedroom? I'm…

Looking a new cloth horse
I've had a cloth horse for a number of years, think I got it out of a skip but it has now fallen apart! So I'm looking recommendations for a new one. The only post I can find re recommendations dates back quite a few years. What's required? It's for a senior citizen living alone with an inside utility room, also with…
