 Report by Jill Johnstone
'Pig Tits and Parsley Sauce' -The first heading Lyn Webster thought of when she was asked to write

about her journey from single mother to Farm Manager and consequently

TV and Radio Celebrity eulogising the benefits of using good old baking

 soda, washing crystals, yellow washing soap and white vinegar to save

 buying all those home cleaning products we keep under our sink.

It was an entertaining romp through her life over the past five years

and full of laughter and positivity.
Her rise to fame started when Country Calendar asked her to do an episode

 showing her life as the first solo mother (of two lovely daughters) as

 a Farm Manager of 130 cows in the Taranaki. As the economic downturn

hit her and her family she decided to keep her food bill to $100 a week

– including buying meat from the supermarket, then reducing to $75 a

week with meat off the farm. She started a column in the local paper,

 did some classes to the locals and then was asked on to Campbell Live.

 It all exploded from there and she now has an excellent website,

pamphlets, recipes and is starting to write a book. Everyone was very

impressed and are having a go at her recipes. However, our President

 Alan was not impressed with the taste of the toothpaste he reports

but the washing recipe is said to be a success. I have to say I was

not looking forward to her talk as it has taken me 20 years to convince

 my husband that I need more than $100 a week for food but I have

explained to Rex that wine is not food.

Feed All Our Children

 This Xmas

And give them a present

Here is an idea for the whole family.

Choose one grandparent who with the consent of the family doesn’t buy each of the children and grandchildren a present.

That money goes into an envelope.

Each of the family puts into the envelope the money they would spend on a present for that grandparent.

You, or your child, or grandchild take the envelope with

Feed the Children printed on it to a child support agency below.

These are the experts in getting food to children. 

 Presbyterian  Support (Family Works)Moray Place

Anglican Family Care36 Bath Street

How this works for me

9 presents for grandchildren @ $20.00                    $180.00

4  parents  and spouses @ $20.00                          $160.00

4 presents from family to me @ $20.00                   $  80.00

Total money spent by and on me                        $420.00

Can you imagine if 100 families did this there would be

$42.000 available for children.

Yes that’s right…. we had to do the maths many times before we believed it This idea costs nothing, each person just getting one present less.

It is good for the family that has enough and good for the family that doesn’t.

The chickens were laying too many eggs so I let two of them sit on the eggs.Now the others have either stopped laying or are hiding them better than I can find, so I am buying eggs Grrrrrrr. Hopefully there will be some babies out of it????
