To not sense DS in with sausage rolls?

Panicking a little bit! I've been really busy and a bit distracted recently and didn't realise the list of xmas party food had gone up. DS has been told to bring in sausage rolls, I only realised this 10 mins ago and children are in bed, DP out, etc.
We are all pescatarian, so no sausages or sausage rolls in the house, and I have to drop DS to breakfast club as start early tomorrow so won't be able to pick any up on the way AND I feel a bit weird about giving him a party food to take in, which he can't really eat. I've got pastry ingredients, cheese and onion, can I send him in with little cheese and onion puffy roll things?

I'm suffering from quite bad anxiety and PMT ATM and get ridiculously worked up about this kinda thing

Cheesey rolls absolutely fine. Would go down a storm in my DS's class.

Thank you! You've put my mind at rest. Cheese and onion puffy things in the making! When I saw it on the school online whatdoyoucallit (which I haven't really worked out either) I felt my bottom lip quibble a little bit - I feel utterly useless and remembering all of the bits and bobs, especially when it's just a crumpled letter at the bottom of the book bag.

Not sure about only shop bought...a girl in his class brought in homemade fairy cakes for her birthday, so I think they might be ok.

It's xmas jumper day on Friday as well. Does a knitted jumper count? I might be able to dig out a bit short in the sleeves fair isle knit.

Yes, fair isle jumper also fine!

I'm wearing a fair isle cardigan to school on Friday as I also don't own a Christmas jumper!

Homemade cheese & onion things really aren't suitable.

Sorry, but they just aren’t. I have sent you a PM!

...with my address! 😂

My (late) Aunty used to make them for any family gathering, I miss her (and them) a lot.

In future, please don’t stress yourself out about these things. Just do what you can & no one’s going to die if you miss something.

Any top will do for ‘Jumper’ Day. Just stick a bit of tinsel or a couple of red/white/green fluffy Pom Poms or something on it. Some minor reference to Christmas.

Annie has sent the wrong address I will update with the correct one mine

Cheesy puffy things would be great as a veggie with an almost veggie dd2 we'd be delighted

I'm enjoying the reject ones watching Grey's Anatomy. What a time to be alive!

I know I shouldn't panic about such minute things, but I have found him starting school such a mind field!

Those chip and biff books are so bloody boring too. I wish they'd spice it up a bit!

If you look in the background of the pictures in the biff and chip books there's sometimes some rather adult happenings, errrr happening. Google it if you don't believe me!

chickenowner · 14/12/2017 09:23

Yep, that's true!!

Also each picture has a pair of glasses hidden somewhere...

JacquesHammer · 14/12/2017 09:28

Please mark them very clearly. DD and I are allergic to onion and from chatting with GP it's not as unusual as I thought!

Whitecurrants · 14/12/2017 09:56

Good Grief - just googled Biff and Chip Shock. I need a cheesy puff now.

Rebeccaslicker · 14/12/2017 10:08

I didn't know anyone had an onion allergy! But now I think of it, my grandma used to say, "I love onions - but they don't love me" as she got awful stomach ache after eating them; maybe she had some sort of intolerance.

Cheese and onion puff pastries are divine but cheese and onion crisps smell like feet. Worst of all the crisps.

blindmelons · 14/12/2017 10:13

Cheese and onion puffs! Well done OP! Sausage roll = horrible suffering for pigs (usually)

JacquesHammer · 14/12/2017 11:19

@Rebeccaslicker I get hideous headache, nausea and rash.

Yes, sausage rolls repeat on pigs terribly.

Dagnabit · 14/12/2017 11:51

I always feel like I've taken some mind bending drugs when reading Biff and Chip and bloody Kipper with my youngest. What is that magic key business all about?!

In the interest of keeping to the point, sort of, cheese and onion thingies are perfectly acceptable!
