To be annoyed with childminder for giving DS ready made pasta?

[Snippets]

The freshly stuffed type you buy from M&S? We had an agreement that all meals would be freshly cooked. I take ages making each meal for him from scratch and have never given him pre-prepared or convenience food and bit annoyed she has.

Jabberwocky, all comments welcome!
You lot love a booze I know that!

Jabber, you are being norty, I will remove your wine if you are not good!

luvone, we have a virtual glass of wine together. It is a silly thing but makes us happy

Listen I am sorry if I have upset or offended any of you. Please accept my apologies. I am not a rat bag. I just say what I think and prob need to 'button it' at bit. Cheers

Well I can tell you you will have gone up in most peoples estimation for taking complaints on the chin

I am not you so I cannot tell you what to do, I just respond better to a reasoned argument than to "fuck off" - oh and wine helps

well done, i don't think you need to button it as such, just imagine that the people are there in your front room, remember that you don't know them very well and remember that you can't touch them. we might very well sprinkle a few fuck offs with friends but this is not quite that situation and some people on here are pretty unhappy already and need gentleness. (some don't. me, for example. i'll kick yer arse. )

YEs very unreasonable!¬!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Morning all!

Glad we are all lovey dovey now. Hate to see people falling out.

Am aware that I may come across as 'clicky' but that is only because I don't know many folk, really just KC and that Hog Roasting Nanny, Blondie. I spend all my time in pets, you see, so I am very good on worms and fleas but not really proficient in family problems

Nigella's Banana Buttermilk Pancakes anyone? Plenty of slow release carbs for those of who overdid it on the Rose last night

And I make that 39 - just my age

Oh Bella, I think I love you

Morning all!

The thing is, I don't think it is clicky (is that how it is spelt? Clique..) I see areas where people tend to chat together because they "know" each other but I have never seen a situation where a newcomer has been ostracised by a current group. They may find it hard not knowing the in jokes or the posters history but that is just part of being new, you have to either learn what it is about or ignore it and wait for the new in jokes that you will be part of!

Anyway, that is far too much depth for this time on a bank holiday and I have to go get ready for the cinema! Thank you for the pancakes (and the headache) Bella

38 (nowhere near my age - but I am not telling which side of my age it is )

hog roasting nanny blondie

what a WAY to describe me bella!!

though guess it could have been worse - could have been spit roast loving nanny blondie

see you lot had lots of drunken fun last night while i was sober and with my dh

im still waiting for snippets to reply

My size 8 feet are just lovely this morning, thanks, bella! Hope nobody has a sore rosé-inspired head.

Can't believe this thread is still going. Have to say I've not read it all... but I will guess that things have moved on from the initial day that the OP posted.

"that Hog Roasting Nanny, Blondie"
I love that quote... Blondie, what did you do to get that name? You didn't tell them about getting the children to turn the spit for hours on end did you?

i know nick - "hog roasting nanny" that "tart blondie" [hhm]

i get called many names by bella

and all i do is make home cooked meals for my dc!!

and go to the pub for a pork roll from a spit roasted piggy

Shiney, I don't think you are the first or will be the last to say "grr, I am having an evening" and I mentioned names so I think I probably landed you in hot water! Sorry

Well, glad you are all fine and dandy.

KC, love you too, sweetie

Not going anywhere near spit roast. Uh-oh.

Yes, definitely cliquey as opposed to clicky but I didn't think pedantry would win me any friends

Reverting (sort of) to the original topic, I did get a mad pregnancy craving for a Fray Bentos pie a few years ago so, when no-one was looking, I picked one up off the shelf to read the ingredients. It included 'mechanically recovered meat' which, as those of you who watched Saint Jamie's School Dinners' will know, is where they grind up the bones and use that.... Needless to say it went back on the shelf...

Right, off to sort out some organic burgers for the barbie tonight.

Cheers ma dears!

And yeah, shineon, I reckon you were stalked...

Hah - Shiney has been stalked - that will get you back for stalking me

(Joke, of course!)

Bella, mechanically recovered? I think I will have to start reading more labels

Am very of your BBQ, would love one tonight but the grass needs cutting first and I can't do that till the sun drops off bit..

Blondes, this spit roasting thing sounds interesting... any details?

BELLA step away from the fray bentos!!!!

mechanically separated meat blonde gags

or as my dh would say eyes, ears and arseholes!!

KING shakes head - no details - im innocent - the only roasting i have do is the one in my oven at the moment

roast lamb, slowly cooked for 6hrs stuffed with garlic and rosemary

will be ready at 9pm, along with my fav old aunt who lives in my freezer (bessie) with her potatoes and her balls and lots of green beans, carrots and brocolli

and im not even working today so this is me cooking for me and of course dh

Blondes - keep your peroxide barnet on! I know you don't believe me, just cos I once suggested you use hot dog sausages as a treat for your horse dog, but really I do cook good quality food here. Honest guv..

Suffice to say it took me a while to clock who your Aunt is. Never used her sweetie. My yorkshire puds are from Nigella's 'How to Eat' . Home made. With oo flour. (No really.)

Right, off to walk my dogs. Will leave you all to get on with this.

I make it 25 to go. That equates to my waist measurement or Blondie's number of exes. Whichever you prefer

Am I too late for pancakes? I'm in the US you know...
