Well done Jane, it's a classic example of the application of Scottish economist Adam Smiths axiom :
" It is the maxim of every prudent master of a family, never to attempt to make at home what it will cost him more to make than to buy...What is prudence in the conduct of every private family, can scarce be folly in that of a great kingdom. "
The Wealth Of Nations, Book IV Chapter II, pp. 456-7, paras. 11-12.

Thank you! If we was making it for a group it would be a different story but just for us two is not cost effective.
