Absolutely! I always try to go food shoping on my own but in my case it is the other half who pesters for extra stuff!

I don't get pestered - it just appears on the conveyor belt! :rotfl:

Thanks for asking, sarahevie.

It's up to date again now. But my marking is not up to date Although I'm pleased today because my head of department said some nice things about me at the end of the department meeting today.

I've thought about the suggestion that I should charge Froggy for the spreadsheet. Thanks for the idea - it's kind of people to want me to get something for it, but I don't agree. I offered to do it for the fun of the challenge, and that's what Froggy took me up on. So I'm not going to change the terms and conditions half way through by asking for money now. However, if he likes it and says so on here and other people start asking me to do spreadsheets for them too, then that would be different.

I was just joking... well mostly, if the food is still on I might try to nick your business:D:rotfl:

I don't have that problem any more! Actually, X didn't pester for stuff, that would have meant he attached some weight to my opinion about whether we should buy it. He just bought it regardless of whether we could afford it or not.

He sounds a peach! Thankfully I don't have an ex, but I have now got a rather strange set of in-laws, they repeated go to disneyworld but never take any kids:eek: I don't know it just feels strange to me!

Oh good. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's joking and what's serious when it's just words typed on a screen, isn't it? Although Froggy's food offer would have been very tempting if he wasn't so far away from me.

Yes, that seems strange to me too. You're single and being mummy to your boys who are biologically your nephews, aren't you? So are these "in-laws" their other grandparents? Your sibling's partner's parents? That must be a seriously weird relationship for you, I would imagine.

Science, maths, skills... I've even done some PSHCE, but would rather not do that again if I can avoid it. I've never actually taught IT, but I've been on the steering committee for staff use of IT at one school where I worked for a while.

Lots of us about, are you full time?

Errrr... yeah that sounds about right. The best bit about all of it is I didn't even get to pick them, not a chance of avoiding contact:eek:

Moving quickly on...

I was going to say, distance didn't matter, food can be sent through the post, but then I thought I've met my postie, and the only food I can think of that is french is rich sauces... so now all I can see is a gravy explosion in a hallway:rotfl::rotfl:

If I understand well... You would like me to go around the country, stopping at my MSE buddies houses, to cook their food for the week, and then move on on a rota basis..??
There are loads more to French Gastronomy than rich sauces !

Froggy that would be great

I've been to Paris twice but neither trip has allowed me to sample delicious French food.

Cath, Shall I start by your place then?

CathT

Yes please, North Wales and then work down the country and back up so you don't miss anyone out!

Perhaps Lois should get the first meal though!
