To be farked off with dd's mate's mother who has just called to say she is allergic to dairy?

[CountessDracula]

I invited her dd round (with another girl) after school today about 2 weeks ago. DD has been to her house. I see her mother daily.

DD wanted to have a tea party. I have bought pizza, made chocolate cake etc.

Now she can have none of it

argh
ffs
I have no time to get to shops and get alternative she will just have to have beans on toast

Why didn't she tell me before

i am not stressed
just irritated

i will bin the cake (what they don't eat)

Or maybe I should giuve to her mother
say "oh I made this but as your dd can't eat it you may as well have it"

I HAVE NO SAUSAGES
could I point out

wedges and beans

my dd would love that

Be careful with the cake - teh child probably can't even join in icing it. Friend's Ds with diay allergy can't AFAIK - DD touched his face after eating cheese once (by accident and she was still very little and didn't understand) and he reacted even to that.

lol at this thread

wedges & beans sounds great

Don't bin the cake - take it to work with you tomorrow - your office will think you a saint!

huge gert LOL!

And no - don't bin the cake. Eat it yourself!

I don't want to eat cake!!!

am trying to lose weight

Take the (leftover) cake to work

give wedges & beans

(maybe cheese too, for the other kids?)

Let them make their own fruit salads instread of icing the cake - separate bowls of grapes/chopped fruit etc

has anybody suggested :-

(a) sausages

(b) eating the cake yourself?

omg!stop it!its too funny!!!

I would phone the mum back, say you've looked at the things you have ALREADY MADE and realised there is dairy in all of it. Can she suggest anything? Exactly how serious is the allergy? Can she have things that have small quantities of dairy or is it a complete no-no? Can she help you get hold of suitable food, as you are not in a position to do so ......?!

(Although you should clearly not take risks with this, I imagine it is not life-threatening, or she would not have forgotten to tell you. Speaking as the wife of someone with a severe nut allergy, we don't go ANYWHERE without mentioning it well in advance).

If you find a way round it, stick the chocolate cake and pizza in the freezer, so you can produce it as a special treat later on, with no effort whatsoever.

The cake can last for days CD. PLease don't bin it

pmsl
this is hilarious!

i will not phone her
I will just stab her in the head when she comes to pick up

This should go in MN classics, it really should, its making my lol

Tee hee at this thread.

Hob Nob biscuits are dairy free CD if you want some easy to find ones. And rather surprisingly, so are bourbons.

Can you smear the child in the chocolate cake just before her mum shows up and say OH silly me, is there dairy in chocolate, IF ONLY I'D HAD TIME TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE.

Do this before you stab her in the head.

i could bake the cake again until very very hard
then stab her with it
