    You're doing the main courses to eat aren't you bun? Surely thats enough or get plates, cups etc too.

    Then others can bring things like add ons (popadoms, nan, bread, etc) sauces, nibbles, and desserts

    Ok....
    (this is a big moment for me...) I don't normally reliquish control but I will accept your help and attempt to be gracious with it...if I start turning into Bossy Bunny ('Again?' I hear the cry) remind me of this...

    What do I need to bring then? Lol

    I will Birthday cake from Costco.

    :T Well done Bunny! :)

    I will go and add the stuff you listed on FB onto the Spreadsheet - back in a few mins. Then you can tell me what I'm missing (sanity, lovelife, few sandwiches from the picnic...), and we can start putting names against stuff.

    You'll have to tell me off if I get too bossy though - this is why I never usually volunteer to organise stuff - I'm a complete control freak! :o

    Okay, what have I missed?

    SPREADSHEET

    If people want to let me know what they are volunteering for, I will keep it updated, but you might have to nudge me if I miss your post. :o

    If more than one person is bringing the same thing (ie dessert), I will just alter the spreadsheet as we go along.

    Can someone tell me if the link works too? (I am soooo bad at this!) :rotfl:

    Well I still think it looks fab, I want hair like yours when I grow up.

    and don't do the confetti stuff - it's a !!!!!! to clear up afterwards.
