Just putting it out there - I don't have puddings anyway (but I have sat through many a meal as my family work their way through various offerings).

Brain freeze! :rotfl:We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

A 100gm bar of chocolate (good quality, high cocoa content) will last me a month. A packet of biscuits can sit unopened in the cupboard until it goes out if date.
I'm definitely the odd one out in our family.0 -

Because it inevitably doesn't add up.
How do you deal with the shortfall, eh? Grill everyone individually on what they had and how much they put in? Awkward.
In that situation, someone who's already paid their fair share generally throws in extra cash just to sort the bill.
That person is always me. I had to leave a meal early last month due to train times and handed the person next to me (who I know and trust) fifty quid as contribution for my £27 meal, because I know that for that event, each year some people put in exactly the price of their food on the menu (no tip), some fail on adding up and underestimate the amount of wine they've drunk, due to the amount of wine they've drunk and it always comes up short when they bill comes round.
So it generally ends up with me and the person I gave my contribution to before leaving last time covering the shortfall to make the problem go away.
Generally I avoid dining in large groups for this reason, I can't be doing with the bill at the end.Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230 -
