I baked a fruit cake a few weeks ago. I couldn't stop eating it. I won't bake another unless I am expecting lots of people!If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

I baked one earlier in the year DIA and froze it in pieces. Had the bonus of warm cake when I microwaved it to defrost it. Although it was not a traditional fruit cake recipe, it was I think a vegan recipe. It was very nice just more cakey and perhaps better suited to freezing.
Halloween event today during which I managed to walk into a beam. The boys had fun though and I ate pizza so all is well.
Didn't even attempt to leave the house afterwards and ordered my shopping via the Roo of Deliver. In an attempt to avoid scurvy I have just ordered stir-fry veg, meat and noodles for the next couple of days.
Today's expenses included the tea round (12.95), food shopping (39.76) and then photo gifts (35) which are for various birthdays and Xmas. It's amazing how the guts of £100 has just flown out into the ether. Admittedly I did get rather a lot for it.
You definitely learn the value of money doing work where every minute is accounted for.3
