One of the richest men in my Home Town was Mr George ~ (His real surname, now well and truly deceased.) The tight-arse bastard would use the Christmas cards he got the previous year to send to people this Year. He'd cover over the greeting on the year old card.

I dont think your mean at all boges... maybe a touch cheap...years ago it was expected to be frugal..save the brown paper and rubber bands even bits of string....

but today we throw everything away.. even when theres not a thing wrong with it..

you know..

I think we were happier in days of yore.

this throw away world seems hell bent on destroying itself.

Your Mum made cakes? Did she leave you the recipes? Monk, the Fermentator, needs to know. Do not give the recipes away, demand compensation. Wink
