    I hope people have got/are getting something good from the project. I think it has the capacity to have been an excellent tool for UK families in a scary and dangerous amount of debt.

    I wonder if anyone knows any ways people have benefitted? That would be lovely to hear about.

    Goodnight all :)

    Love Weezl x

    yes, it's not quite right is it.

    they can have it with cloddies, sweetcorn fritters etc, or on bread with hummus or lentil pate as a snack, but yes it's not a snack in itself...


    Hmmmmn will ponder :)

    Thank you![/FONT]

    I have tried to scan read a little way back but I am still confused. What exactly needs to be done? And where is it? Sorry to be a pain but I have some free time tomorrow and possibly Monday.

    Regarding the plan helping people. We would never have got through the last few months without it. We were eating very frugally but we followed the plan and went into extreme frugal mode. At the moment our business plan is becoming closer to fruition and we are still following the plan but with some variation now we have some home grown vegetables and fruit.

    DD and DSIL tried the plan for a week or two but were not able to follow it exactly as they are very busy people. They were struggling to make their own meals so I had a brilliant idea. I do their cooking too! Not all of it but the things that need watching (like bread) or things that are easy to eke out like bean curry, shepherds pie etc.

    Hello lovely poohbear :)

    I've missed you!

    I'm afraid I haven't got the brain to know what needs doing but I have asked for anyone who's good at that sort of thing if they could hold the 'project management' angle for me for a bit so we can get kitty's planner finished.

    At the moment I feel a little sad because I think we have willing helpers, and we have a stuck me, but we need a bridge in the middle.

    I think what I'm asking, although it is hard to do so, is for someone to be that bridge for a bit.

    You have to try and do a "for dummies" version of that explanation, Weezlie - I think we are all very reluctant to volunteer for something if we are not sure we can deliver ! :)
