Weekly Flylady Thread 7th November 2022
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…

Recycling work uniform
Hope it’s ok to post here. DS spent about 4 months this summer working for a well known coffee shop chain. He has now moved on and says he wouldn’t want to work there again. He has 5 or 6 branded tee shirts all in good condition which I don’t want to put in landfill but don’t imagine charity shops will be able to sell. Any…
