I'm far too hot to put more clothes on, so the question is, can I get away with mowing the lawn wearing my bikini bottoms and a sleeveless t-shirt? The thought of shorts is a bit much... although I think I have a short wraparound skirt somewhere that might do...

Go for it - Piggers was out yesterday collecting her washing in her undies!!

KNEW I forgot to say something!!!! Well done on the updated siggy Pigpen!


Not flying related: (but will really help me cos Im skint) where is the best place to buy BBQ food? Meat etc - but decent quality? Ta

Jo - for cheap BBQ food make kebabs - you can buy a lump of meat, cut it up, bung it in a marinade and pad it out with plenty of veggies. If you're marinating then you can buy a cheaper cut that will benefit from 24/48 hours in oil/wine/herbs (or lime juice, soy sauce and honey if you want to avoid the wine).

xx_Jo_xx

oooo good idea greenbee.

Thanks....

Right.

Ive been sat here thinking about what I have at home and I think I may be able to do MOST of it from what I already have at home......

I have chicken breasts, sausages, and some peppered grillsteak type things in the freezer.
I also have a large bag of corn on the cob in the freezer
I have rice, pasta and cous cous for making side dishes/salads etc
I have fruit salad in the freezer and Ice cream
Ive also got the stuff to make houmous etc and some pitta breads
I can also do homemade salsa etc......

So I think I can get away with only having to buy fresh salad, some burgers (for the kids), bread rolls, some meat for kebabs (I have mushrooms, cherry toms, and baby corn at home) as well as wine and a cake.

Not as bad as I thought!!

ooohh, greenbee, they sound nice, may have to have a look in my freezer for any meat thet needs to be used xx
