Well done for all you...A beautiful christmas cake.<br /><br />Well done for all your thriftiness. I always seem to have a lot of wrapping paper left after Christmas and still buy more for the next one so I was feeling very pleased with myself for just buying one roll this year. However, by the time I got around to wrapping presents on Christmas Eve I discovered that my new roll had been used, along with most of the other part rolls and I actually used everything up and only just had enough by measuring carefully! At least there is not a surplus to store this year!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813706744376163204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-42079978553785471772012-12-29T15:30:59.984+01:002012-12-29T15:30:59.984+01:00Happy New Year Floss

Thank you for visiting.
I love hearing...Hello Floss<br />Thank you for visiting.<br />I love hearing about your Christmas. You have really thought about every aspect and that makes it so much more meaningful doesn't it? <br />I like the charity idea of giving a backpack full of things to homeless people. I've never heard of that. Homeless charities are my top ones for giving. I just cannot imagine how hard it is, not having a home and living on the streets. Home is central to my life. As it is with all of us bloggers, isn't it? <br />Sorry to go on!<br />Wishing you and your family a happy new year filled with peace and kindness .<br />Josie x<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-9277643820648322562012-12-28T17:29:22.903+01:002012-12-28T17:29:22.903+01:00Hi Floss- love the capon tales!

I didn't buy any wrapping paper this year- I've recycled all that I had already, bags, wrap carefully saved AND took all the wrapping paper that was going to be chucked in the bin that covered the tables at the school fair and used it to wrap my presents! Several sourced from fairtrade and charity shop, my Mum was most pleased with her Portmerion Botanical garden large biscuit barrel found in a charity shop for £10 and the two mint condition WW1 books for her husband!xKezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-24358777792797828222012-12-27T23:02:25.141+01:002012-12-27T23:02:25.141+01:00Hi Floss!
