Winter bedding question
I've got a 4-season duvet on my bed, and when it's cold at night like the next few days are forecast to be, I generally throw a fleecy blanket over the top. I've just been given a very nice quilted cotton bedspread and am curious whether this should go on the bed under or over the duvet.... ETA I always use a top sheet…

Freezing focaccia
I have started to make focaccia, but all the recipes make way too much for a singleton. When I make ordinary bread I bake it then slice it up when it has cooled and put it in the freezer so I can pull out a slice or two at a time.

Ways to use out of date cheap "British" wine
Would be glad of any suggestions for using unwanted wine that doesn't involve drinking or cooking with it! About nine months ago I won a bottle of Rose wine as a prize in a pub quiz. I don't really like drinking wine and so the bottle got forgotten about. The trouble is the wine is "British" wine, made with imported grape…

Weekly Flylady Thread 23rd January 2023

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 task easier and quicker. We also…

Like cooking... like trying new things with cooking... its hard to do that when its just the Mrs and yourself especially as you then are having to deal with dietary requirements etc. So a while back looked…
