If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

[LittleDonkeyCarrieMaryMumsnet]

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

Lots of page views and unique users I should think (or whatever it is that gets site owners excited)

journo's always misquote and get ages wrong and what have you. Don't know how they manage it given they are taking notes when interviewing you. Its what makes Private Eye so hilarious.

Box of tablet Lovecat? wassat then?

I prefer the theory that this whole thing is part of Franny's fever delirium

My lunch has been cadbury's buttons and some hunks of cheese

copies lovecat and off to plunder the fridge.

Does cadbury know you've got her buttons, mp?

Tis this - basically fat, sugar, fat and more sugar. A cross between fudge and toffee. You cannot possibly leave it at one piece. Hence my reluctance to open it (as it would be gone in 60 seconds).

my trousers won't go over my arse

I'm having to wear baggy jumpers to hide my disgrace

This better for now?

I know, the lack of apostrophe is going to make the pendants' teeth itch. Double bonus

I had pain au choclate and a bit of yummy leftover ham boiled in cranberry for my brekkie (not at the same time).

I still have an entire Christmas cake (which DH insisted I made, then has gone 'meh' every time I've offered him a piece) to get through. If it's still there by NYE I may put it on the fire. It's about 70% Grand Marnier in composition so should burn quite well...

Can't you strip the icing and keep it for next year?

I'm going to an all-you-can-eat chinese tonight. It's my last blast before new year saintliness.

Good idea Northern. I have just remembered I have a tiramisu-infused panetonne sitting on top of the bookcase in the back room as well... Christ, I'm going to need to buy back all teh size 16's I've just ebayed at this rate!

Lovecat, dip slices in egg, then ground almonds, then deep fry it. You could try melting a Mars bar over the top and serving with chilled clotted cream, but the purists would insist on having it with Stilton and a tumbler of warm Baileys.

Enjoy.

PS like the name, Bumper

You jest about pasta sandwiches but imagine me for a few moments at the age of 11. Mum's in hospital having brother no 2, gran is looking after me and has packed my lunch for school. So I'm sitting there with my mates at the lunchtable, open my lunchbox and there before me is a shepherds pie sandwich. I HAD TO SCOOP IT OUT WITH MY HANDS. The humiliation...the stomach churning....the memories - its just too hard, I can't talk about this any more. >

Far more newsworthy than some stinky old cheese imo = is Hannah watsherface around? Love, I'll sell my story for 50 smackers..

OMG, Cat, if I eat that I'll do a Mr Creosote (but it sounds a delish way to go...)

cat, your post has just given me a vicarious cardiac arrest.

Jamie Oliver would be at you lot!

PMSL Brightongirl (whilst feeling your pain, of course).

My mum once made me a banana sarnie for school with 3 elastic bands inside it. That one was pretty hard to live down too. Shall we start a support group? Our Packed Lunch hell?

pasta sandwiches is far too much wheat-on-wheat action for my liking

lovecat: I have a new year's eve party where I try to under-cater so all my friends ransack my cupboards and eat up everything norty in time for the new year

Yes - I have so many other stories to tell....
Jeez you didn't eat the bands did you?

Of course she did - thats why she always bounces back!

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!

I chewed on one for a long time before wondering why a banana sarnie was chewy... then opened it up to find the other two.

I don't think it was maliciously done. Mum was probably reading a book with one hand whilst sprinkling what she thought was banana with the other. We had some very odd meals due to her habit of reading whilst cooking....
