Looking back, I'm hoping it's the potential surgeon in me. If I can disect a sandwich spread sandwich at 7, what could I do at 35? Makes me think.

I was very, very bored as a child.

v v sad... or a frustrated hedonist waiting to get out... hmmm

avenanap · 29/09/2008 20:58

lol! I used to get told off for taking chips to pieces. I now know it must have been bordom. I take jars of Heinz sandwich spread apart aswell, eating the tomato seeds, then the veg one by one. I'm so very, very sad.

NappiesGalore · 29/09/2008 20:55

i take choc bourbons apart too avena. i eat the yummy middle bit first -mmmm. it means of course that the biscuit bit is not so enjoyable, but hey, im a hedonist, i cant help it.

avenanap · 29/09/2008 18:46

Ohh, I love those. I take them to bits, the cherry first, then the crust around the top, then the icing. I'm a disgusting eater. I take everything apart .

Lemon drizzle cake aswell? M&S make some lovely ones, buy one get one half price. Please?

We could probably lob in a box of Mr Kipling's Cherry Bakewells...

avenanap · 29/09/2008 18:44

Blackforest gateau! Lemon drizzle.......

Oh , it must have been the PTA.

Am sure we are planning to come to something though - so let us know when/where once you've sorted somewhere safe and clean.

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 18:42

ooh I like th emilk ones, I suck em

avenanap · 29/09/2008 18:41

Hmm. Rich Tea. I used to eat these as a child. I'd dunk them in my tea and they would fall to bits. Lemon thins are nice. Nice biscuits......... (avenanap's sitting, thinking of biscuits that have failed her dunk test)....... I hate the milk ones.

No cake?

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 18:41

I thought our names had been added - i know I said yes to some list somewhere. Christ, what have I signed up for now? Please tell me it wasn't the PTA.

JustineMumsnet · 29/09/2008 18:37

We've probably got the odd Rich Tea floating about too...

avenanap · 29/09/2008 18:36

Aww. Thanks. That would be the chocolate then.

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 18:31

I'll send on the stuff I don't like half to you

avenanap · 29/09/2008 18:29

pop down to F&M and fill it, then send it to........... Flame. She may be more deserving than me.

We actually do have one hamper here at MN Towers - it's got nothing in it though...

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 18:24

I'm thinking - 'nother road trip, no kids, crash on DSis' floor

avenanap · 29/09/2008 18:21

Fortnum and Mason do some lovely hampers. Lovely cake!

Anyone will do, I'm not picky.

PortAndLemon · 29/09/2008 18:20

I think that may count as (ish)...

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 18:20

Oh damn, now I want choc buttons

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2008 18:20

Not such a big fan of choc, but would force some down obv.

Yes, venue tits up. cancelled the booking as we can't guarantee licence back, but now on the hunt for a new place and they are getting booked up fast. But... "our" venue... there be no MNHQ names on the list still

NappiesGalore · 29/09/2008 18:19

i am supposed to be assisting flame to find a new venue. and instead i am sitting in my kitchen eating 9 packets of choc buttons and a tin of uncle joes mint balls.
sorry about that everyone.
