Just a quick post to say I was on Radio Leicester yesterday if anyone fancies having a listen.
I also got to meet Rebecca Bryers who works behind the scenes, which was lovely as I have spoken to her many times but never met her.
I took in my Microwave Chocolate Sponge, which is so so quick and easy to make and it’s actually the most looked at recipe on my blog (you can find the recipe here). It also costs only £1.05 to make, which is an added bonus.
Ed Stagg (another radio Leicester presenter) also joined them for a fun taste test.
You can hear the interview here (it starts at approximately 2 hours and 7 minutes into the program).

#### Don’t forget I will be back on Friday 10th January 2013 ####
At New Year I think about what I would like to do or change over the coming year. I realise that Rome wasn’t built in a day and habits take at least 28 days to break (or so they say).
I often read comments on blogs where people say they would like to live a more simple life by cooking from scratch, gardening etc. etc. but just don’t know where to start. If you are one of these people reading this today, then my suggestion to you is to start with a cup of coffee and read about some of the things that you think would add to a more simple life (everyone of us is different and there are no rights or wrongs). Pick one or two things that appeal to you and have a go. At first it will seem like a lot of effort, but soon it becomes second nature and you will enjoy it.
I now live a simple life, without the need to compare myself with the ‘Jones’ anymore and I can honestly say I love my life today and I feel so blessed to live the way I do.

Thank you for your continued support over the last year. I especially love to hear your views and comments, so please keep them coming.
I hope you all have a Happy and Content New Year!
Another great post and just listened to the radio show,made me chuckle when you was taking about the blinds. Keep up the good work and keep saving.
Thanks Steve and a Happy New Year to you.

Happ New Year to you too Sue.
Happy New Year! Will you have (watch) fireworks? We haven’t watched the fireworks that welcome the new year in for a few years now, but I figure when Malachi is old enough and enthusiastic enough to see the new year in we’ll do it again 😉
Happy New year to you and your family too. Yes lots of fireworks go off here and it’s great to watch them at midnight (though we don’t actually buy any lol)
There would be a lOT of eople around here who would buy them if it were legal to do so! As it is you still get the odd cracker shooting up fro m parts uncertain, lol!
I wish it was illegal to buy them here, especially around bonfire night when you get horrid kids playing with them
Happy New Year- I love your blog.
Thank you so much Louise that is so kind of you to say and Happy New Year to you
Didn’t expect to find a post as you said you wouldn’t be back until 10th Jan. always pays to have a look. I would have read it eventually. Happy new year to you & your family.
Best wishes
Angela (Devon)
Hi Angela, yes I’m sorry I wasn’t going to post anything until 10/1 but then I wondered if anyone would be interested in the radio program I was on and then I just kept writing lol (typical me). Happy New Year to you.
