Morning allAnother very early start to the day. Looks like another lovely one though. @Gers yes I did get my lavender plants, thanks for asking. I also found some poppies growing in one of my baskets, no idea how they got in there lol. Have re-planted them into the garden.Housework today and, hopefully, a nice sit out in…

Good morning, it's an early start from me, I've been awake for hours. I've had a run of bad nights lately. It's dry, I think the forecast is good. I'm meeting a friend at Do*bies this morning, I'll probably fall asleep on the bus going there. Ruby, sorry to hear you've got Covid, it sounds bad. I've had it twice but was…

Good morning folks. 

I got this air fryer, and I got a steak pie from M&S (no doubt it is pre-cooked) it is a medium sized pie 500g instuctions say 180 C fan oven 35 mins as you would expect. But there is no air fryer times. I was going to do it in the oven as suggested maybe a bit lower for longer. But I know someone will complain I am not…

Good morning all. BRB

Welcome to the weekly Flylady Thread. We often see new flyers (gents welcome!) around this time of year so please don't worry if you feel you cannot keep up. Similarly if your house has been neglected it won't be turned around in a day - but if you stay you will get into some good habits which do help! Happy flying. What…

Good morning, it's a dry and grey start here, doesn't seem cold though. We had a quiet day yesterday, I remembered to take my jacket to be cleaned. Camelot we used to have a dedicated dry cleaners here, but when that closed two of the local shops started to take it, so it's handy. Maybe people don't have as many things…

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.

Morning, I'll be back in a bit.

Good morning, it's lovely and warm already. 😀

Anybody else do this? I feel like abit of a weirdo because when my gas boiler broke I just got used to having no running hot water! Its been over 4 yrs now and honestly it doesnt seem a problem..... weird, right!? LOL :D

Good morning, it's fine and dry here. Yesterday was a lovely day, Hope today is the same. I haven't posted for a day or two, nothing much happening here, well, there's not today either! Yesterday we were out early to take a friend for her Covid vacc, and we are taking the same lady for a hospital appt tomorrow, her usual…

Pinch punch! Morning all. 

Good morning folks. 

Good morning, it's a dry start here and quite bright, hope it stays that way. Yesterday, every bit of glass in the house was cleaned, and I'm ashamed to see how much better it looks! Must keep it up. I sorted through some clothes as well and now I've got a bag for the cs, so I'll take that today. Hope everyone is ok and…

Hi New to this , apologies if wrong place 😬- I try to budget £550 per month food/fuel for car . Want to reduce to initially £400?

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…

Good morning all. It's so bright and inviting outside, yet still chilly. I need coffee. 

I like to read frugal blogs and forums... and I love to watch Old Style Frugal Channels on You Tube. I have my favourites on Youtube like What Vivi Did Next, Loving Life on Less ... and Pennies to Dollars, they all do money saving Old style. Do you have any suggestions for other good old style channels to watch? Thank you…

Morning allWhat a wet, dark miserable morning it is. Due to dry up by lunchtime but I won't hold my breath. Making gingerbread cake today and that's as far as I've got as to what else is in store today. Hope it's a brighter day where you areTake care all x
