What with darning my own socks and pants, purchasing significant fashion items from the recycling centre, and shopping on foot (with my sexy shopping trolley), all I need now are instructions on how to make my own marmite; make my own pizza with anchovy and capers; and make baked beans from the recently planted broadbeans on the aforementioned allotment; and growing my own tobacco, and beer, and that should see us through any so-called recession. And having a steady job with the council (I have a meeting scheduled for 4pm on Monday: such dedication to duty!), absorbing any unfilled vacancies into my own infinitely absorbent portfolio of tasks, should see a steady, if unsatisfying, progression up the career ladder.
If only the black dog would stay away.

I thought baked beans were haricot beans not broad beans? Still, I'm sure they'll be scrummy. Homemade food is the best. :)
I'm going to try and make marmalade this year too. And Cchutney - apparently you can make it in the slow cooker, which seems like a big bonus to me.
Both my mother in law and sister in law had made marmalade this week. I didn't bring any home with me as I didn't want to risk it ending up all over my clothes in my luggage and it is not allowed in my carry-on!!
