I'm too fat and ugly for TV of any sort

I will be in Scotland on me holidays then <<<tells dh she is no longer going>>

I vote in SWMNBN2

Special occasions - we had 90 at our house for ds's Christening. All catered by M&S!

Ultimate dinner party - get all food from Cook and pass it off as homemade. Works every time.

Can you see a theme developing?

OI! WAITROSE, OPEN ONE IN NORTHERN IRELAND.

Thank you.

I went to a child's 3rd birthday party once and the catering for the adults was all from Waitrose Entertaining. Best party ever - not that I am shallow or anything

I catered a party last night for 15 - all food from Waitrose entertaining - yummy, free delivery. We love Waitrose!

swmnbn2 woud be ideal, but won't.

would be my idea of hell.

Wouldnt that kinda blow SWMNBN2s 'cover' or am I missing something?

I dont think im photogenic enough, and prob have too many dietary restrictions. I will add tips so i can win vouchersthough, that could cover my next party if they are good

The lost art of baking
A school cake sale/kids birthday party no-brainer?

Agree to bake for cake sale stall, then realise you just cant fit it in. Wait in car for COOK! to open, buy three trays of frozen choc brownies, when assistant presses you that you must already have a loyalty card, cut brownies in deliberatly wonky 'homemade' squares, pile in tin to complete the fakeover, wait anxiously as brownies as half frozen, hand over with minutes to spare for the night before deadline saying they might be a bit cold as have been in the fridge

That was the easiest one, i have previously made fairy caks at 7am for sports day at 9, and biscuits at breakfast before preschool. I should stop volunteering, I like the idea of it

oh my god
i so want to do it.
i ahev a rl mate who works for waitrose and they will laugh their socks off, they always swear that I would never get a job there in a million years.
i am ON

oh but I am in France then
bad timing.
I could have had kids from school to rock up too.

oh come on.
change the dates

Am on hols would definitely have been up for this.

I have 3 children, two different fathers and a 4th on the way this week. Despite this unseemly carry on I look like I should be in Waitrose, so long as I do not have the feral ones with me. I took them in there the other day and we looked like we should definitely not be in there. Mostly, though, if I wear my chunky jewellery and do my hair right I pass muster.

What I'm saying is, I'd be great in the ads. Plus I got a certificate from the English Speaking Board.

i coudl bear to wear shoes like these for a day if oyu put me in .
They are the Shoe fo the John Lewis partnership.

and then some trouser like these in pale blue and the Official shrit of waitrose here

with a basket and a bustling vibe

Oh, I really like the sound of this but would have absolutely sod all childcare so can't. Damn.

and i can bray " oh yes ALgie has an exeat on Saturday"

Am i talking myself OUT OF a job?

Um carrots and hummus aren't exciting? That's haute cuisine for one of my parties!

I would be so fabulous for this! Do I have to have a wash and put nice clothes on though?

I love it when they tannoy for Mrs X/Mr X to come to wherever rather than the bog standard Tesco/Sainsbos "all checkout operators to the till now"

I would Sooooo love to do this, but am Faaaaaar too old

yes and they say " Partners, its 3pm"

that is when they all shoot up in the staff toilets.
re order the shelves

Mitchy, you obviously don't want to wash, JD you are quite clearly in France, mygreataunt have not time for Botox, so I am the LEADER!

I haven't even told you yet how slim I am and how natural my fake tan looks, or how young for my years...

grr

Oh i want to do it.

I have faaaaaar too many children though don't i?

What do you think JohnDory?

Being on the TV makes me <<quake >> though, i can barely have my photograh taken without a G&T...
