Get Baking

An article on the BBC website today would make my mother proud. In these downbeat economic times people are making extra money by selling homemade items on the internet.

The UK classified adverts website Vivastreet.co.uk has reported a 123% increase in the number of adverts for homemade goods on the three months to May compared with the previous quarter. There is a rise in adverts for cakes, candles, wedding stationary and even rocking horses.

There has also been a rise in adverts from people offering home-based services such as private tuition and dance lessons.
