    Gorgeous photos ladies :)

    I love our local expat website, it's great for getting rid of stuff. I just put up some stuff for barter, saying "make me an offer, at the moment I'm interested in a hatstand and children's musical instruments but I'm flexible." Let's see what they come up with :rotfl:

    I've also been an Asda tart and got nappies galore (for a cloth user :rotfl:) and plates and bowls.

    Also, Gill I got the £12.50 push chair cos OH wanted a cheap small fold one - I just used it to pop to Tesco and kept standing on the brake at the back! Not too impressed but didn't spend much so not too bothered. Will see what OH thinks.

    Erm - lovely photo's everyone - I have one to post but will do so later when C is in bed if I get chance. Can't think of anything else so hugs to all (especially Buttons) and back later when C in bed xxx

    ETA NMS Did you get your activity tables? Hope so :-) xxx

    I am placing an online order for BBQ on Saturday... what have I forgotten that's a must-have

    burgers
    chicken drumsticks
    stuff for a greek salad
    burger buns
    Pimms
    Lemonade
    Strawberries
    Limes
    Guacamole ingredients
    some veggie kebabs and some lamb kebabs

    I should probably do some other salad? Maybe a potato salad with spring onions?


    Edit: maybe a dozen adults or so plus couple of small kids
    Edit: already have ketchups and beers

    Would you not do hotdogs Bruno? We always do hotdogs...

    Maybe onions for those that want it... Cheese... Spare ribs?

    I love Tesco minted lamb kebabs... We do those in the oven and have them with salad and pitta bread :D

    I'd say potato salad or pasta salad and maybe some bananas to poke chocolate buttons in, wrap in foil and put in with the coals.

    Oh, and cheese, mayo, ketchup, mustard, napkins, paper plates...

    Thanks - bananas a nice idea - most of the other things I already have in cupboards - did consider hotdogs but I figured that in the world of meat, burgers plus drumsticks plus kebabs already was sufficient :)
