What do I get a blender, or a new food mixer/blender
Good Morning chums, now my Kenwood foodmixer/blender died on my last night after 12 years of trusty service and I can'r decide whether to buy a new one, or just a blender. I realised that I hadn't used the base part (food mixer ) for about two years. I tended only to use the blender for soups ,milkshakes etc. My previous…

Hand held steamer stand
I recently bought myself a Lidl hand held cloth steamer and at the moment it's doing pretty much what I want. To be honest though with my clothes hanging on the back of a door I find it hard to manage! While I've given Amazon a good search there doesn't seem to be many available. Anyone with a handheld steamer and a…

Weekly Flylady Thread 21st 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…

How best to store cornflour
Thanks to the good folks on here, I learnt on here to freeze flour before storage to prevent insects breeding in the flour. Does the same apply to cornflour? Thanks.

Air Fryers - how safe are they?
MSE mentions air fryers as an energy saving tip? Per Google loads of people seemingly want these widgits now for energy savings. Never owned one but ordered one last week to join in the rage. Before delivery, shocked to happen on a tech review of exact same model having design defects and causing fires! Cancelled order.…

Drying outside in Autumn
Our tumble dryer has stopped working! We don’t have space for an airer to be out and sadly because of that I sold my heated airer. we have a washing line outside, I’ve hung the washing out there today as it’s not raining (yet). There’s a decent breeze going through the garden. Will the clothes dry outside or am I expecting…

Remoska tips and ideas
Hi Any Remoska owners out there? Yesterday I rescued an old Remoska that somebody was about to send to the tip. I have read about them a bit and wanted to have a go with one - they are such a lot of money to buy new and I don’t know if I will get along with it. Like many people at the moment, I am avoiding having to cook…

Jumbo oats do they go off
I made a flapjack fruit crumble today with oats that were 18 months passed their best before date. Whilst edible, the taste didn't seem to be same as the last one I made in Februrary using the same oates. Before I offer any to another person I wanted to check if oates can go off or if it just my taste may have changed a…

Slow cooker or oven?
Been reading advice to ise the slow cooker to save on energy. However just read an article in The Sun newspaper app which said to use an electric oven (mine is gas, doesn't give figures for gas) is £66 per year daily for 30 minutes use. Yet it says a slow cooker on for 8 hours, which I thought was energy saving is £13.80…

Employing a cleaner direct
I’ve used a cleaning company in the past and they’d had training and not only cleaned but made the place look as though it had been cleaned. After a long time they became less effective (I felt the cleaning was rushed and I was taken for granted, it seems to happen if you stay long term with service providers) A couple of…
