YUM what a brilliant idea!

I don't doubt Manchester is too far away :( but maybe if other NorthWesterners were interested we could club together for your train fare or petrol costs or something?

Me too.  I love it when people offer their expertise and it would be so sad if this one went to waste because of geography.  I'll have to have a think about how we might do this.

The conference call sounds great fun but it could be looooooong and could work out expensive.  How about the winner recieves the recipes/tips on how to go about it and does their own cooking on a day/time when Mischief and Kayto agrees to be available to offer advice on the phone if needed.

There could even be more than one winner and we (note I include myself here ;D ) could all pay our money to Ron and have a countrywide cook-in. If there was more than one person in any particular area perhaps they/we could team up.

Am I getting carried away?  Probably.  Whatever, I start the bidding at £5.

Post by: Nick (Peanut & Boo) on December 01, 2006, 20:40:24 PM
you can do the conference call through your computer for free!
all we need is a video cam or and camcorder or digital camera that will work as a camcorder and broadband
Or we can just use skype which is completly free if you have broadband and a microphone and speakers or a PC headset.


£6.00   psssst what kinda curry is it ???   I'm salivating again  ;D

by the way, whoever wins the bid, if they prefer i can email the recipies and be available on the phone at a certain time to give advice. Am happy to do the cooking on a conference call too, it is just i thought not all of us are computer wizards, infact i am totally useless at them :pcprob: and can only survive in this computer age  since my O/H is a geek :Luv:

comeon keep bidding, think nice tasty meal and happy cats at Ron's place :clap:

£9

 :idea:  Is it possible to update the title of this offer in some way to show that its now countrywide?  Its possible that some people looked at it initially and haven't looked again because they were too far away.

After much trial and tribulation this is done but I think the thread is also lurking where it landed when I thought I was just changing the title  :rofl:

Any way title is changed hope that is OK?

Bid £10 per person for 4 people (my family)  i.e. £40

Any Catchatters (? should that be Purrs chatters) in the Manchester area want to be included then feel free to add your bids onto this one.  If you're in any other part of the country (or don't want to share) you're on your own!  :P

Becca- WHERE ARE YOU? Only about half an hour to get back to me on this one
