Hi I talked about our CP on this thread Style and Beauty

Well, it's nearly time, Thursday!!

We decided to do it all ourselves so have just finished baking lots of little pies, pasties and filo parcels to be served with boiled potatoes and salad, along with hummus, carrot salad, couscous, pesto pasta, Quorn Roast and bread and cheese.

Pudding is a vintage style tea party with cakes donated by the guests.

Then music in the evening with live acts from our very talented nephews and neices and bit of boogieing to music put together by our wonderful BiL.

We are going for post war Sunday School church hall vibe, with bunting, paper chains etc. Herbs and simple flowers for decoration.

Both DP and I have very stressed tummies as have had a really awful family situation to deal with in recent weeks.

I love the idea of the sweetie jars inthe previous threads.

Any other ideas? Must be thrifty (in keeping with theme not my tight fisted-ness, of course!!) grin

Earthynanna I have been following your thread, all sounds so charming, liked the music which I've just listened to.

Still grinning like a Cheshire Cat though had a very odd conversation yesterday with a fellow allotmenteer which, I think,was meant to upset me! She's an oddbod so I rose above it!

I'll tell you later, in a rush now but wanted to say that DP and I are very touched by your good wishes. grin
