Later I shall be going round M&S food with a sack….

I won’t even be making garlic bread now - God bless M&S for having a 2 pack all ready to shove in the oven, as well as everything else. 🙂
And the bill was a lot less than if we’d gone to a restaurant, since I know dh would (as usual) have insisted on footing the entire bill.

Well, at least you know they are coming! My husband often brought a friend home without warning and expected me to provide for him. It stopped when I gave the man my husband's meal and said that was all I had.

Brilliant!!

I always do a buffet lunch when I have all the family here, most of it ready prepared, so that they can pick and choose and I can enjoy their visit and not be stressed.

I am right behind you Wizend.........why make work when you can buy lovely food ready prepared. Enjoy!

Sensible woman : let them eat cake.

😂😂😂 Love it!

I love the fresh pasta sauces, I’d throw a few of their desserts in too

Sounds like an excellent plan Witzend; enjoy your get together tomorrow.

And to proffer the debit card at the till I hope?

Yes, not that it’d make any difference, since all the money is ‘ours’.

Very wise. Make it easy and have a much better time with your relatives.
