    pinkhayley are you there?

    Do you feel that the amount of tangy bean pate would be enough for 16 sandwiches?:D

    Hmmm.... we haven't gotten 16 portions out of the batch but we have eaten it spread on two pieces of toast so have probably had more than a sandwich worth IYSWIM? I think it would probably do 16 sandwiches if you were strict with the portion sizes but we have been greedy and had it spread thicker than what is necessary. Hope that helps :)

    right ho! I shall write in the recipe to be strict with the portions ;)

    can I just check, are we happy assuming that kitty starts her month with a big empty freezer?

    ps zippy:A as a matter of interest:

    you said you made the bread last night? How did it go?

    Did you start the month with a big empty freezer, or do you have other ideas around storage etc?

    I'll do this now. Have just done a bit of cleaning and come on for a bit of light relief before cleaning the bathroom.

    I have such an exotic life me :D

    I'll be there for the online thingy if I can

    light relief from cleaning is a spreadsheet?

    My light relief from the spreadsheet is cleaning!    :rotfl:

    OK, who could do the following slots:

    weds eve 7.45 pm

    saturday 2 pm or 7 pm

    sunday 3 pm?

    purpose of the meeting:

    1 general feedback to weezl about the nature and direction of the project (what we like, what we'd like to see happen next)

    2 gathering information to put together an FAQs page for scared shirley ( a follow on from sian/wendy thoughts t'other day about what's putting shirl off: 'what if I make it and my kids won't eat it?' etc)

    3 gathering together what is missing currently on the website that will make it hard for shirley to use the website if she doesn't have us lot holding her hands: (it doesn't say how many pieces of bread to have with my pate sandwich, why have I bought the milk? how many times am I making each recipe? etc etc)

    4 some FYI points from weezl that are too exciting/secret to share online (this now sounds approximately 1674 times more exciting than it actually is, sorry :D

    5 tasks to be given out to those who want them (don't all leave the room!)

    6 close of meeting- big dodgy group hugs and a rousing rendition of 'oh flower of scotland!' ( 6 volunteers required to physically restrain my secretary at this point)
