keiramax eventhough I'm not taking part it's got me thinking of all our expenses and the need to track them for a while. I think our spending has been a bit unconstrained for a while so could do with some bringing into line.

Driving along the Kennedy Highway today I could have picked up enough road kill to have wallaby stew for the next five years. Now that would have been a huge saving.

Blimey Gert, go back and pick it up quick! You don't want to miss an opportunity like that! :o

I know a lady who used to pick up roadkill and cook it for her dogs so she didn't have to buy dog food :-X

A friend purchased wallaby shanks at the market last week - he could have saved some money by the sounds of it!

I remember that market from 1970 Gert, I used to go for the beef sartees - no such thing as roadkill back then to my knowledge.

I don't think road kill would be very good for dogs to eat. Imagine all the bruising and toxins in an animal that has been killed by a car, truck or bus. :o
