When it came out it was split and buttered and presented to my dad - he called it his "bit of ned cake". He'd have been very disappointed if his ned cake was not forthcoming!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069341346858567528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-82391469951560996762014-01-10T23:01:06.470+00:002014-01-10T23:01:06.470+00:00It's a good point you make really, I bet all t...It's a good point you make really, I bet all the little bits and bobs we throw away add up to a lot over the course of a year.

I really enjoy your posts and following your journey has been so interesting. I especially enjoyed your post about Mavis (love the name!) and shared it with my 82 year old mom. We're were just talking about Mavis the other day and wondering how she was doing. <br /><br />I'm also on a journey to live more simply and frugally.. I just blogged about using up what I had and not wasting anything as well. It's a good feeling isn't it? :o)<br /><br />Sandra<br />tea and simplicitySandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919043603767131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-20383092221305784612014-01-10T21:36:59.596+00:002014-01-10T21:36:59.596+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919043603767131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-34265300633736070282014-01-10T21:26:10.633+00:002014-01-10T21:26:10.633+00:00I used the left over bits of dried fruit and nuts ...I used the left over bits of dried fruit and nuts in the chocolates I made for gifts this Christmas.
