Why dont you make up a Veg Challenge flier, and go around restaurants/ local stores offering
an hour labour for food - ' deals for meals' -' muscles for brussells' or just ,please feed before midnight!

good luck, got to go for my t now :wave:

I am sorry df , you said you were a week into your challenge , and were having probs ! , and needed help . You then said you were in Cupar , me being a clever arse , replied that you were in sh*t ( not cupar ) .
I have a very sick sense of humour , sorry !

Good luck with your challenge though , sorry i can't help .

you so should have chosen a month where the veg patch is bountiful, February isn't the best month to try and spend no money surely?

I could send you a "Red Cross" parcel if you get desperate, or would that not count :)

I'm in Lindores - not sure there is a bus that passes here other than the school bus :o but help is always welcome and I do go to Cupar a couple times a week so could give you a lift one way.  PM me - there's not so much can be done this time of year but it depends on your skills and any tools you might have that I lack ;)

If I sent you a little food parcel in exchange for, shall we say, a good turn to the next person you meet who needs it, I don't think that would be out of order? p.m. me your address. You won't get luxuries, I warn you, just enough to keep you going :)
