    Just used the entitledto site and it says "The calculator has determined that you are not entitled to any means-tested benefits or tax credits under your current circumstances.".... oh well :(

    Should I bother with the new LHA thing? Can't find anything specifically saying "you have to earn less than this" for example. Mmm.

    Anyway, off to Tesco's!

    I'm not sure an optic could hold the weight of the kind of quantities we'd need for a DFW party! :rotfl:

    Cookery quesiton anyone.........

    I want to make a butternut squash thai red curry for dinner, do I roast the butternut squash before hand or do I chop it up small and cook it from raw in the curry?

    I am no Nigella:o
