How many of you have difficulties in making ends meet, still, here you are posting as if... Sign in to see full entry.

Not from the supermarket. Not from the bakery either. It now comes from my neighbour. She loves cooking and has recently taken up making her own bread. A task that is hugely above my abilities.
