I'm not sure which I'm more stoked about:

When I got up to the front counter, Francis-the-shop-lady said "Oh, that's a good buy. It's only that cheap because it doesn't have a lid". I explained that I was sure my glass frypan lid would fit just fine and that they'd just saved me a trip to David Jones (which was my planned next stop) where I was going to finally buy the Bistro stockpot I'd been hankering after since I moved to Canberra 10 years ago. All because I had a pile of oranges and lemons I'd been given which, after my first adventures with jam making, I wanted to try and turn into marmalade.
So Francis wrote out her never fail marmalade recipe for me while the woman behind me in the line waited patiently:
Francis' 3 Day Marmalade
6 pieces of citrus fruit
4 pints water
1 cup sugar per cup pulp
Day One: Grate the skin of the fruit then cut the fruit up. Place in the water and leave overnight.
Day Two: Boil about 10 minutes or until soft.
Day Three: For each cup pulp, add one cup sugar (or slightly less according to taste). Boil until the mixture sets in cold water. Bottle.
Across the road at Salvos I bought this for $5:
