to have ordered the most enormous tin of sweetcorn.....

[funnysinthegarden]

........I did it online without properly checking the size. It is a 2 kilo tin and makes me feel like a Borrower

Fuck know what I am going to do with them (i have two)

HAHAHAHA! 'Borrower!'HAHAHA......Chowder?......Go fishing lots and lots?.... Throw away the corn, clean the tins and then turn them into those stilts we used to have when we were kids?......HAHAHA!

Sorry, YANBU, just a nob for not looking at what you were ordering!

Yummy I love corn, make and freeze corn chowder, creamed corn and freeze.

all the other tins were of normal size, but the corn ones were HUGE. I am a nob, tis true, but a nob with a LOT of sweetcorn...........

Tuna & sweetcorn samosas with filo pastry, my DD loves them - mix up the tuna & sweetcorn with a dollop of natural yogurt, brush a sheet of filo with melted butter, fold in half lengthways, brush again, put a dessertspoonful of the tuna mix on the end of the filo, take the bottom corner & lift it to make a triangle & then keep folding the filo over in triangles until you get to the end, brush the whole thing with butter & put on baking tray. I cook them on 190 / Gas 5 for about 20 minutes, then see how they're doing.

That's so easily done, you can't tell by the picture and I don't always read the weight properly. I once ordered a box of teabags and when they arrived there was enough in the box to keep us going for a year.

Put it in the attic with the rest of your Zombie Plan supplies.

what are Zombie Plan supplies?

Ahh Zombie Plans. My forte!

Stand back ladies! First of all you need two fecking HUGE cans of sweetcorn.

To lob at zombies

[looks around hopefully]

no other comment other than to say thanks for the laugh!

did the price not indicate the size at all?

LOL when I was pregnant I ordered some raspberry leaf tea, I ordered the kilo bag and when it came it was MASSIVE. And RLT is vile, at least sweetcorn is yummy.

cuban chicken pie has lots of sweetcorn

I do this a lot....tastes lovely.

lol lamplighter

well I suppose £3.15 is quite a lot for a small tin of sweetcorn.......... I have to confess I did do the shopping on Friday night whilst consuming a thimble full of wine...........I also ended up with a box of 48 bags of crisps and a rather large block of pate........Good job we are a multi freezered family.

Scurry, that sounds lovely, I will give it a try.

Try Mielie Bread - great as a side with a BBQ

Lamplighter, you gave me a real giggle at that one. I'm still giggling. Thanks, I really needed it

"First, you need two fecking HUGE tins of sweetcorn...".

ROFL. You are my new best friend..

I am well known for doing this. Ordering a jar of jam that was as tall as an elf and a jar of dishwasher powder that was tiny - obviously for elves! Easily done.
sweetcorn chowder for life obviously

SF am laughing at your sweetcorn envy.

DH has a habit of doing this too. Ordering teeny tiny things off ebay. Once ordered a boys guitar for DS1, which was so tiny only a small mouse could have played it. It sets me off everytime I see it......

I do this sort of thing quite often. Most frequent is the massive jar of marmite which costs a fortune.

You could always adapt a pea shooter - you have the ammo now

[Quite a lot of ammo really - well SHEDLOADS to be really frank with you]

You repel very small enemies for quite a while

Ahem you could repel

Easily done - you are mostly definately NOT a nob as I mis-ordered 8 bags of bananas instead of 8 individual bananas last week, a barginous price of £23.78 for 59 bananas.

You are obviously, like myself, a hugely over-pressured domestic engineer. Give yourself a pay rise.
