I can help a little with #3!
We're crappy at eating fresh veges - we dutifully buy them but they always seem to get yucky before we eat them. So we buy lots and lots of frozen veges - stir fry mixes, the "separate portions in microwaveable bags", the lot. That way you always have veges on hand, and you don't really have to cook!
I want better kareoke selection, like Tragically Hip and Blur.
You do have great taste in movies.
I think we had a copy of Charlie and the Chocolate factory lying around somewhere. I'll look. It might not be in conventional dvd format though *ahem*
skirt: yeah we should try those. all we have in the way of frozen veges is a bag of peas which we bought especially to use as an ice pack on my wrists.
nigel: you have your own karoake machine?
mtnw: thanks for that. I'm sure our DVD player can accomodate unconventional formats ;-)
Those are some long legs. Think of how long it would take to shave them..
Ooh, I'll be supernanny on your holiday! hang on, we are going somewhere exotic, eh? If not, I'll just leave some silverbeet in your letterbox...
No, I've seen people bring their own discs into the bars.
happyandblue2: If they're Asian legs, then hardly any time at all (she retorted smugly)
editter: silverbeet????
nigel: oh, right. Your choices would make a refreshing change from all those posey ballads that tend to get picked at the Chinese karaoke bars I've been to.
I have hairy legs and I'm Asian. Chinese people need to start puberty ^_^V Wow, that was juvenile....
jon: "Chinese people need to start puberty ^_^V Wow, that was juvenile...." - that's very punny!!
Oops...the dvd with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is no longer. Sorry.
the silverbeet was in the spirit of your no. 3, of course.
mtnw: that's okay, it's the thought that counts.
editter: oh...but I don't like silverbeet; sure you dont want to be nanny-on-the-move at our family holiday to ...um... Otaki? (a small market gardening town, for you non-NZers)
er, still doing the ready meal thing ar, um, 22 months
*hangs head in shame*
thats weird... I say "veggies" not "veges".
Well its not really I guess but it is to me!!
xxB
urban chick: that's nothing to be ashamed of - you're probably in charge of the meals AND the chicklets. In my case, the boy does the food and I do the bulk of the childcare.
boudica: hmmm...but doesn't pronounce "veggies" and "veges" the same way?
I'm curious about the world peace and the Corpse Bride things. If you've any info to report, I'm all ears.
glomgold: yeah well, I didn't get any of those things for Christmas, so nothing to report here <:-(
