Christmas presents

Mr Tosh has been very generous over the yuletide and will provide some book reviews later on.  However, two presents seem linked.  The first gift is a cookery course and the second is a little book entitled ‘DON’TS for WIVES’ - a useful and festive quote from the book, ‘Don’t be afraid of cold meat.  A few cookery lessons, or even a good cookery book, with the use of a little intelligence, will make you mistress of delicious ways of serving up ‘left overs’.' 

While watching Breakfast news this morning on BBC1, Money Minute talked about the expected rise in IVAs and insolvencies.  My helpful book was published in 1913, but another useful tip from the book – ‘Don’t get into debt if you can possibly help it.  You don’t want to carry a load around on your mind, nor to worry your husband about it.’
