Oooooooooh, Sheldon, there's only a few of us over here ....

Sundae · 11-25-2011, 01:55 PM

And how gutted do I feel now...?

Aliantha · 11-25-2011, 03:33 PM

My gift that I want to send over the Pacific still hasn't arrived here yet. I fear my recipient is not going to have their pressie before the big day.

eta: Because I think a lot of my recipient, I'll be doing my utmost to try and make sure it does though. I might have to go and stick it on a plane myself even!!!

Yeah, am not really sulking. Just indulging myself in a little regret for not joining in the funsies.
I knew buying and posting would have been a stretch, so I can't be a misery. And I get my Christmas treat in 23 days!

Still have to get my Secret Santa for school. At least there's no postage costs for that. But the Christmas Staff Room Buffet is £4. Ridiculous. I swear there will be leftovers equalling £20.
We paid £1 for jacket potatoes the other week - I wonder where the extra money went?

Thing is, it was organised by a Teaching Assistant who bought them in a local supermarket. She's a good person, so I don't suspect her of scamming us. It's just odd. She supplied butter as well as margarine, but when I went to look for it in the fridge yesterday it had gone. Now I'm pretty much the only butter eater in the staffroom, so someone's taken it home.

I think the office suggested she donated the extra money towards the Christmas buffet, rather than having to track everyone down to refund them 40-50p.

Note to self - take containers for leftovers on 14 December!

Or they finished it.

Margarine-eaters go for the butter at every opportunity.

Sundae · 11-29-2011, 06:23 AM

True dat.

She did admit that the reason she didn't buy butter at home was because her boys would eat it. Copious amounts of it, on any available comestible. When she buys spread they use only what they need.

The staff fridges are stuffed with Flora and Clover.
I imagine someone came across the butter and simply laid into it, eating it off the foil with a wooden spoon.

Oh yes, still dead.
