With the spiralling cost of fuel and other essential items, particularly the cost of heating your home, it has been been reported that a further million people will be plunged into poverty over the next month, with half of them children. Many families will be faced will the awful choice of eating or heating.
The UK average spend of food and drink is £40 a week. However many survive on a fraction of this. Therefore to shine a light on this, experience a little and raise some money, My lad and I will be living on £1 a day each on food and drink for a week, a total of £14 for the two of us.
We are going to start this on Easter Monday (a kind of belated lent) and hopefully manage the full 7 days. Obviously this won't be easy but I won't pretend this is anything like suffering many people will be going through around the country.
Almost 2 years ago, David and I launched a campaign on here to raise money for the Derby Mission Food Bank when many people were laid off due to Covid. I am looking to do the same again, with anyone who can afford it donating to the same cause. I am hoping we can raise £1000. I will be donating the difference in what I would normally spend on a supermarket shop for the two of us. 
I will set up a specific DCFC Fans donate account and provide a link in the next couple of days.
In the meantime, maybe posters could share experiences and ideas around this area. Many on here will be able to donate but many posters may also need help, so I hope we can come together and help each other.
I will do a diary entry on here on how we manage, how we shop, what we eat and how we feel.

Hard to beat the Full English that sticks to the irrefutable laws of breakfasts (that I made up) as follows:
At least two sausages, maybe three if you're gluttonous or have done/will be doing some manual labour within a week.
Two rashers of bacon, not underdone but not so crisp it breaks your teeth. Bit of fat on, but never streaky, you're not Canadian.
Two fried eggs, lovely crack of black pepper over the top of them at the table. Poached allowed only if you're at a fancy place, in which case why aren't you ordering Eggs Benedict, you heathen? You don't belong in a place like this. Scrambled allowed only if you're a lorry driver or roofer. Boiled egg (yes I've seen it)? Have a word with yourself. Any place that overcooks the eggs should be added to your personal blacklist.
One ladle of baked beans. No cup, no side bowl and never placed directly next to the egg.  Use the sausage as a breakwater (Aha!)
Half a grilled tomato. If you're from Burton on Trent and use tinned tomatoes, for the love of God take a trip to somewhere more cultured. Like Derby. If you're from Swad and call it "Splash", go to Burton first. Take a long look in the mirror if you question the inclusion of the tomato, order it but leave it on the side of your plate, or worst of all try to swap it out for more beans.
One grilled portobello mushroom, no extra accoutrements like parsley or herby butter thank you very much.
One thick slice of quality black pudding. Enjoy all that iron and try not to think what's in it. Get it from Bury if you can.
One slice of thickly cut toast and butter OR Fried Bread. Never both, you bleeding carb loader you.
No hash browns, no tomato ketchup (use the beans you moron), and no poncey additions of token salad leaf. This isn't healthy, don't try and pretend it is. Brown sauce for the sausage and bacon if you consider yourself Northern.
Do not order if outside of England, else expect delights such as cucumber and cress (Amsterdam), cured ham (Spain) and pickled onions (Copenhagen) to adorn your plate.
If I'm making it I just have Cocoa Pops instead.

I'm hoping to play for kr Derby next year and I'm just getting used to the EFL approved wage bill.

Don't try the old "can I toss on your floor" routine pal.
FTFY @uttoxram75

I bumped into my sister today, for the first time since her wedding 20 odd years ago!
Amazingly, it was not at all awkward, despite the distance between us.

I think it's best not to get anxious or angry about something that may be nothing more than an Internet rumour. We've got enough to be anxious and angry about as it is. 

I've had the pleasure of "meeting" @i-Ram on forum zoom meetings. I can confirm that he does have a striking resemblance of George. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting his wife however, so can't confirm that she looks like Mildred.
 

Indeed definitely would like his backing!

Although it's frustrating for our online rumour mill, I'm impressed that no one is saying anything so there's no potentially damaging or misleading leaks.
