Oh gawd ILs have decided to come and see us on New Years Eve at a moments notice

[milfAKAmonkeymonkeymoomoo]

what can I do for 15 people that is easy and inexpensive???

Not a bloody thing!!!

Tell them to bring food with them. Or at leaast some of the food?

LOL, should I add that I have a ten week old baby and a 2.8yr old toddler as well

I would ask them to bring stuff but they have a 3hr drive and would be tricky transporting things.

Get your dh to do it!

Curry?
Chilli?

Baked potatoes

Get everyone to put in for massive chinese banquet ,no way would I be doing any catering at such short notice .

That is a good idea, big pot of something with another big pot of rice. Followed by ice-cream

Excellent idea ComeWhine!!!

They can't be expecting you to cater for them surely????

I feed about 30 for a works thing every year (not NYE)

I always do a curry, and a chicken casserole in the slow cooker, dont bother with rice, just loads of french stick, everybody helps them selves when the want to.

Of course they can bring something!
The length of drive makes no difference.
Delegate
'Could you do the booze?'
'A cheeseboard would be great'

and so on.

Pizza or a chinese!

They have kindly offered to bring drinks so that is sorted.

I've decided to let Waitrose do the catering and have ordered a pile of vol a vents etc that i can just shove in the oven. Have explained it will be a drinks and nibbles party.

Normally this wouldn't bother me but I am feeling particularly lethargic at the moment.
