    Thanks for the info :)

    Christmas dinner for only £50? I suppose it will depend on how many they are catering for and if wine is included in that. It will be interesting anyway.

    £50 is more than I have allocated for Christmas Eve/Day and Boxing day. We are nit big meat eaters though.
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!

    It would surprise me if my Christmas meal for one will cost more than 85p.

    Not much meat on a nit. Might as well go veggie.

    I've already got this circled in red in my tv magazine (very bad habit!) - even if I don't learn much that's new, it will be interesting to see what wrinkles they come up with.

    Thanks LilacLillie.
