    I just cannot see beer soaked mate wanting a salad....feel something with more 'soaking' capacity might be beneficial.

    This seems like its chewmylegoff's area of expertise really.

    Salad like an expanded ploughman's? Nice bread, and some nice cheese? That would soak up a lot of beer.

    You sound (not just from that post, but from lots of them) like someone who remembers what it's like to be a child. That's entirely a positive thing - I don't mean you are childish at all, but childhood isn't a mysterious zone for you.

    My Mama remembers it, too - so when Isaac left some lego in Kent, she posted it to him, with a carefully-printed envelope addressed to "Master Isaac <surname>", remembering the pleasure that getting something in the post, addressed to you, gives as a child.

    The difference between childlike, and childish I think?

    OK, NP, own up then. Who hasn't made a will? Whose will is out of date?

    I made a new one when the divorce was in process. I haven't bothered making another one - my wishes with him dead are no different from what they would have been with him alive but divorced from me.

    Oh, and I haven't left anything to anybody whom I'm assuming will use the money to provide for somebody else - everything's to the people I actually want to get it (in trust for kids) and it details what I want to happen if various people predecease me.

    I haven't. I know I should really, but it'll only go to nephews, so I can't really motivate myself at the mo. I'm sure if I met someone, that'd change quickly.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    The Daily Fail's hypocrisy over !!!!!! is absolutely incredible - all that "older than her years" stuff looks pretty iffy to me, and the endless photos of too much flesh and tiny bikinis losing the battle to contain it.

    Could you leave cold soup in the fridge instead? Gaz-whatsit can't spell it?

    Are your nephews who it would go to now? Are you sure?

    Will.

    What about 'special' things . Who do you want to have your bowls and your ancient unreplaced clothes. And your music?

    We usually have gazpacho in the fridge in summer. Its pretty much what I live off in hot weather and fruit. So yes:). But won't be enough for DH.


    Have missed most of the !!!!!! thing . As a bonus have misse most of the np baby thing.

    Salad my DH would eat. (Curry is a bit of a pain ATM as I cannot eat it, but would cook for them,......only not sure they'll want it)

    I just cannot see beer soaked mate wanting a salad....feel something with more 'soaking' capacity might be beneficial.

    This seems like its chewmylegoff's area of expertise really.

    I can claim a degree of expertise here too. Salad isn't the thing.

    I'd do one of the following:

    - chilli
    - curry
    - steak/fish/burgers and chips
    - cheese and biscuits
    - bacon and egg rolls
    - egg and chips
    - ham and eggs
    - sausage sandwich/& mash
    - pie and mash/chips
    - pizza
    - kebabs

    Think Man Food. I'd probably go for chilli as it can be made and reheated easily.

    Which NP baby?

    Look at lemon's pic above, and on the right-hand side, lots and lots of soft !!!!!!, including 16 year olds in minidresses "looking older than her years".

    Thanks gen. Its still really hot here. Still chilli?

    I'm liking you said kebabs, because kebabs were what I was leaning towards. Carbs in the bread, meat for protein...some salad ...... ( for peace of mind,) and quick.

    Pie mash and all that other stuff...too hot and close for.
