O/S Daily Sunday 21st April 2024
Good morning, it's a fine sunny start here, whoo hoo. Ds and family turned up yesterday, he'd been doing a parkrun in S Durham, and he rang to see if they could call in on the way home. They stayed for lunch and we had a good chat, as we hadn't seen them since Easter weekend. Don't know what's happening today, we may take…

Ninja CREAMi Breeze Ice Cream & Frozen Dessert Maker
Posting here as us OSers are the most likely to make HM ice cream. Anyone who has seen the deals to be had on the main site will have seen this one. The reason I am going down the HM route is because I love ice cream but the stuff in the shops is ultra-processed and really is full of rubbish. I would rather get away with a…

Do you have a secret trick?
Do you have a way of doing something that makes it easier or more efficient? Something that you do but you’re not sure if everybody knows about it? If so, share it on this thread 🙂 Here’s mine. When you’re putting up a washing line, make sure it’s good and long. Then you can do a double string, and use it to split your…

Reverse Meal Planning
Not sure if many of you will have tried the reverse-meal plan idea. Rather than buying all the ingredients you need to support your meal-plan, you look at your fridge, freezer and store-cupboard and meal plan from that, minimising what you shop for. Based initially on the fresh produce that would be wasted if it is not…

Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?

There used to be one a while back, Meal Plan Monday or obviously whatever day you start yours on 🙂 I did post mine in the Grocery challenge, but will post again for anybody that doesn't join in with that thread. Vegan…

Embracing the old style to get through this next stage..
Hi everyone Not really sure what area of the forum this goes in but I'm into meal planning, bargains and being as thrifty as I can and life has thrown some curve balls in the last 18 months that has well and truly given need to get a handle on things...

Weekly Flylady Thread 8th April 2024
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…
