It seems as if everyone is having a lot of expenditure lately, and I sympathise.

My hubby and I have had a lot of expenditure this last month too, so we have asked the family if they mind if we cut back on the christmas presents this year and they have been very understanding.

This year I really wish to get back to the true meaning of christmas that seems to be being lost over the years. It's so easy to get swept along on the treadmill isn't it? I am aiming to have a day off in December where I can be quiet & reflective.

I have just started to read a book which includes the writings of a home economist who worked for the Ministry of Food during the years 1942-1945 when there was food rationing in place. It gives lot of recipes, and tips on preserving of foods etc.

Take care everyone,

butterfly.
