    Came home with a pack up provided by the host of the event. Absolutely gorgeous slow cooked spiced beef, and all the accompanying bits she'd served. Tried a bit already, it is so good! The ticket price was £35 P/h

    Lucky you Bob, that food sounds so good
  • Just 1p roadkill but rescuing it from the cold pavement and puting it into my nice warm coin purse made me feel good!
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

  • I always think dinner made by someone else tastes better than when I've done it myself. Enjoy Bob!
    I'm claiming £17 today. I got my eye on a new work outfit while shopping with my mam earlier but I refused to buy it - she decided to buy it for me.

    Cat well you won't believe it but I came back from today's event clean up with a big tub of unopened coleslaw. We had the beef, rice, patties, salad and a big dollop each of that. It finished the meal off perfectly. Obviously the universe was helping me out :) Will claim 50p

    Oh and 10p roadkill on my way over tonight.
