Tell me I'm not mad! Having a BBQ for 150 at my house!

[Milliways]

Annual church fundraising BBQ is held in my garden - this year it seems VERY popular - 150 ish on the list. My freezer now has 180 sausages & 100 cornettos in it - got to get more of those. Butcher will deliver the burgers & kebabs on Sat am.

We will have a Live8 screen up for those who want to watch it, 3 large Barbies on the go, & probably a queue for the trampoline.

Please pray for good weather - my garden is large - my house is not (But we will have 3 large gazebos + 1 normal size one up)

Am I really mad?

yes - but very big hearted. It's very sewwt of you to do this

you are mad - mad - madder than Mad Dog McMad !

Yes but you will go to heaven.

We feel having this garden is a gift, we are thankful & try to use it. It's just remembering that when the thought of all those people coming becomes a reality

aww your not mad

your totally insane

150 PEOPLE????!!!!!

My god woman, you are stark raving bonkers!!!!

assuming there's a committee of helpers doing all the work you are not mad at all but rather lovely

you must have an extremely large garden I think 8 people would fill mine

At last count 98 Adults + loads of kids

You are a raving nutter, have you dug a trench and make sure everyone knows you suffer severe migraine otherwise enjoy yourself and fingers crossed it doesn't rain... (and try not to poison anyone important)

i think yo uare very brave.
have you got paper plates, and bins around to chuck them into?
seating?
people to man the barbies etc?
can i come?

I think that you are really lovely

Yes agree you are mad, but Im sure you will have a great day.............you wont have to cook anything either........Im guessing there will be a scrum of males around the bbq demonstrating their cooking skills! Have you got a group of people helping you? You know, one person to let people in, one to help with drinks, organising games for children etc. Are people bringing food as well?

looney choons comes too mind! whata brave woman u r. i would love to enjoy giving bbq or parties but unfortunately i'm too anal about getting mud/wine/cake on my carpet! well done and good luck and if possible enjoy it.

Good on you-not mad,just v kind!

Proper Bonkers,

But just the sort of thing I would do

Except I frequently volunteer us/me/DH and then tell him

He never complains, which considering I am the one with the Faith and he is neither here nor there Faith wise, impresses me no end.

Every family brings a salad/crisps etc & all brink drinks.We supply meat, bread etc. Men on a Barbie rota (including a professional Italien chef!). Starts at 4 - until it's too dark to see.
