No neighbours who would bake it for you? I've done similar for neighbours in the past (sorry, I realise you may not have any - can't remember how rural you are).
'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.'
You may remember that I had to order new valves for my kitchen taps at a very high cost recently. They came, I fitted them and all was fine. Then I was sorting the packaging for recycling and found a note in with it saying they'd supplied longer valves because a lot of customers order valves that are too short. My valves were expensive because they were an odd size so I checked the website and found the longer valves were cheaper by about £20. This seems to be because they use a 1mm longer rubber washer to make up the difference. They'd fitted fine so rather than send them back I emailed the company and asked for my £20 refund. They're now insisting that they'd sent the most expensive valves they had which were only £8 cheaper but didn't offer the refund as the valves had fit as required. It makes me wonder how much profit they're making by supplying people with cheaper valves, adding a note to say they're doing you a favour and hoping no one checks the price difference. I've no way of proving what valve they sent me as the valves have no marking on them. Since they've admitted the supplied valves are cheaper though I can't see how they can get out of refunding the difference.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Bah HUMBUG to them! Maybe ask Citizen's Advice? I would write a very .... letter. Â
One of those tiny things that look like silverfish bit me again😠I've got two maddeningly itchy blisters now😡 .Really dry part of garden so I doubt they're related but silver 'glitter' when squashed and scraped off your skin.
Thanks for info @Lyn. I wish the buggers would leave me alone. Live and let live and all that. Apparently if you get a reaction, it's not necessarily a bite but contact with the surface. Well it certainly felt like a nip to me! Its gone to silverfish heaven and I'm still itching
