Big Cakes Please Small Minds
Quote of the moment:
Will: "You look really mature."
Prill: [Gasps in theatrical horror, with hands clasped to face]
Will: "No, I meant you don't look like a school-girl any more. Well, not until you did that, anyway."
Prill: [Pouts]
Will: "Exactly."
Went into Chelmsford today, to purchase a present for Prill. Had a look in Game, but they still don't have any GameCubes in, damn them. They're listed on the site as out of stock, too.
Having found the present, Vicky (who was clothes shopping) and I headed to Tesco to buy £5 worth of stuff to get out of the carpark. I rang Jimmy to see if there was any party food they wanted, and since they were in Chelmsford too we agreed to meet up. Half an hour later we had a trolley full of party food and no sight of Prill and Jimmy. The lure of the pwetty shoes was obviously too strong. When they did turn up we spent ages trying to persuade Prill to make a decision on what cake to buy. [Sighs]
The eventual party food list is:
1 tub, Haribo Starmix
1 tub, Haribo Tangfastic
1 large packet, BBQ Doritos
1 large packet, Cheese Doritos
1 large packet, Chili Doritos
1 large packet, Lime Doritos
1 triple packet, Jaffa Cakes
2 packets, Party Rings
2 bottles, Coca Cola
1 packet, Iced Gems
1 cake, large sponge
1 cake, medium chocolate
For those of a more visual inclination, that's this much:
Yes, the indecision was solved by having both kinds of cake, including one huge one with nice thick icing for Prill. Accordong to the boxes that's 32(20 + 12) people's worth of cake, but given that one is a kid's cake and the other a fancy one, and that portions are always stingy, we halved that to about 16 decent slices. That's enough for everyone and thirds for me!
We also got eggs, bacon and bread for bacon and egg sarnies in the morning(or afternoon, depending on when we get up). All alcohol concerns should be amply furnished from the house stock, which includes a full litre of Smirnoff Red Vodka and a fair few Smirnoff Black Ices, as well as a diverse assortment of beer.
Any queries?!

So many Doritos, so little dip! Pourquoi???
Because dip is for those who watch Graham Norton repeats while listening to Culture Club.
Besides, you can eat non-dipped ones easier while staring at a TV and gaming with the other hand!
