    If you can be bothered to go back via the view post links, somewhere Barry was asking for the whale's bacon sarnie recipe <snore>

    My mistake, I assumed he just made a typo.

    So, is a sanie a Scottish thing? or do they make flavoured sanitary towels now?

    Never really understood this...

    We have bacon sanies, short for sandwich

    Other folks have bacon sarnies, short for sarndwich?

    Same thing I believe, don't think it would be much use as a towel, flavoured or not

    I rather think that was Barrys point - no one knows what a sanie is! But if its tasty and it has bacon in it, I want the recipe too.


    What WAS that wooshing noise

    Aha, now I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

    It's quite simple really, we're posh so we DO have sarndwiches.

    That was me collapsing from sugar withdrawal (bloody diets!).

    Didn't you know there is cow bones in jelly? About 80% of kids these days are vegetarians and allergic to dairy.

    Oh cr@p...I can feel a nervous breakdown coming on.
    Ah, just stick it on the plate!! Once those artificial flavours and fragrances together with the monosodium glutamate hit the little darlings' nostrils, they'll be doomed! Do 'em good. While your at it, make them lick the kitchen surface clean without a droplet of Cillit bang! being sprayed - that'll knock the allergies on the head.

    Next!

    Often, distance lends perspective. People find it difficult to see the forest for the trees.

    Show 'em who's boss before they reach 13 and turn into satanic adult haters, that what I say.

    Nah, I was raised as a boy, in a military environment, so that really wasn't an option. Besides, when I was seven, a "party bag" was a piece of cake wrapped in a napkin, and my sisters weren't allowed cosmetics until they were at least 12, so the question is kinda moot.

    See, a good military upbringing never did anyone any harm.

Additionally, it's sad that folks persist in buying excessively big birthday/wedding/anniversary cakes which barely get touched, resulting in everyone having to take a piece home to throw in the bin. Conspicuous consumption is all very well, but not at age 7.
    Having had 3 daughters I found there was no problem mixing the sexes for an age 7 party. That happens a little later - and some time after that the mixing of the sexes is essential!

    However, giving different party bags based on sex is just good sense. From an early age they want different things, why fight it and why put yourself through the stress of trying to think of presents suitable for both sexes?

    In my experience 7 year olds like the parties at McDonalds. They take an hour at the most, a McDonalds employee does the entertaining, including a tour of the kitchens, they're cheap, there's no washing up - and you're in the shops and can go shopping for shoes

    The "division of the sexes" happens anyway, so your best bet is just to go with the flow.

    By and large, boys like guns and girls like dolls.

    But when they get older girls like 'guns' and boys like 'dolls'.

    I would. You can have a nice rest instead of a nervous breakdown.

    The things we put ourselves through for our kids, God love em.


    By the way. Good Luck. Hope no one pukes on you.
