I have too many stories like that. (:o)a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now.

I can honestly say I have never bought cut out felt ribbon, from Australia or anywhere else, to decorate any of my homemade chutney. Seeing as how I have never made homemade chutney
