The post you are reporting:
A friend called to see me, she said she had just been to a 'get together' with coffee and mince pies. Lots of people there.
The friends said they were very proud of the mince pies they had made and offered her one.
But when she bit into it, it was like cardboard....
Embarrassed at what to do with it, whilst everyone was busy talking, she held the mince pie behind her coffee cup and carefully slipped it, wrapped in the serviette, into her handbag on the floor by her chair.
A little while later she realised she had put it into someone else's handbag.
Even more embarrassed, she carefully went into the handbag again and took it out, putting it into her own, which was stood alongside! Relief !!
Breathing a sigh of relief, went off to the butcher's, whipped out her purse, out came the mince pie in several pieces, all over the butcher's floor.
More embarrassment.... and apologies to butcher.
By the time she and husband had got to my house they were in fits...
