I did, she said she would pay me this week, i know she gets paid on the 23rd of each month managed to convince her to not waste money on a macdonalds at the pics and come here instead - she has never had a pan of scouse so i hope she likes it! Making plenty anyway! :T

... I insist on taking buttons of everything before they get "ragged". I also take hooks an eyes off old bras..... and the lace........ ...

I do this and save ribbon, curtain header tape, and all sorts of treasures for my sewing stash I have a button tin and my DD was delighted to be given mother's old button tin; it was a lovely walk down memory lane to go through it and tell her about some of the clothes - like the buttons from my mum's pretty 'duster coat' from the 60's

but how many people do you know PERSONALLY who can knit,sew,preserve,bake etc etc??

I know a bunch of people (not OSers either!) who knit, sew, bake ect ect. Saying that I'm one of those nearing end of teens girls that likes cath kidson, bakes, reads proper books, goes to national trust houses and happily thrifts for anything. We might be a small group but we do exist! But then we do all of this out of interest, not need. Like most people in the 40s did. Just wanting to put in a good word for us 'youngsters'!!

(just catching up on the past couple days. might be afew most posts from me after this!)

You could try soaking it in a water/vinegar solution for 30 minutes then putting it on the line outside to drip dry. This should get rid of the smell but I think it might well come back when you reheat it as it's the wheat the holds the heat and these will all be burnt now .

I'm impressed with the number of young OS'ers on the boards here :T and they've much more sense than I did - took me till I was past 30 to become even reasonably sensible!
