Just in case you are wondering I asked Ronald if he could keep the BBQ post on the main Le Marche section at the top of the page which he has just done - felt it was getting rather lost down the bottom and soon would have ended up on Page 2 (well

Jesse at 8 months - growing up so fast now. She is never far from her new boyfriend's side and consequently had to have a little operation so we don't have a new generation of Sully's Pups!

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.

My head hurts!If some Italian friends come down, do they have to buy a full book of tickets or could they just buy say a burger for say €2.50 as I feel €10 would be a bit much for them and would feel mean if they went hungry. Maybe we could set prices for the other bits or is that just too complicated.Also have been asked to put a poster up in the local newsagent/ stationers shop as the locals were very interested - I know we said no before but the lady that runs the shop did ask and we feel it is rude not to invite them?????? Help!
Just had an interesting hour or so in Comunanza!1. BBQ base tray now gone down from €300 to €70 - still think it is very expensive, but if that is what we have to pay then we will2. BBQ withmetal legs now €150 - Jana - help please -can you see if you can get it any lower!!!3. Met a very nice young man and he is an Illusionist - juggling/ games/ balloon modeling/ fire eating etc etc but unfortunately he is working in Civitanova on the 21st at a kids party but he will call in if he gets finished early and bring along a water game with tubes and things - sounds fun! Was very interested in what we are doing and willing to help in the future!4. Local butchers - 80c per homemade hamburger! 40c per homemade sausage 80c per pork chop (not looking too good)5. Got some pink raffle - type tickets Jana, so if we can meet up and hand some over to you6. Cheapest wine €5 for Trebbiano7. Plastic cups (clear) €1.50 for 50 in Smoll?Probably missed stuff out as lots going on!
You are so clever!
Plastic tubs for change / collecting money (can we all save some)Change floatBoxes for rubish (S & M to get)Black bags (S & M)Ticket Books (Mox to try out)Plates, cups, cutlry etc (A & R to get)Poster for prices for 'extra items'Gazebo (A & J)Wine / Beer (S & M to get prices)Food (A & J prices & S & M to compare)Games (A & J)Guess Number of Sweets in Jar & Sheet to write down guesses (Mox)Loo RollKitchen RollPaper NapkinsFire Guard!!!Fire Exinguiser!!! (S & M have a small one)First Aid Box (S & M have a small one too)
If every thing is €1 or 50c then we dont need too much small change do we. Keep it simple. Also we shall all need to keep receipts of any extra's we buy as in plates (A) etc. A & J and us off on thurs for a price comparison trip and hope to find out about the wine too.
Mark and bread spring to mind! Yes exactly - David / Mark can do portion control - 2 items in the meat ticket from the list, 1/4 pizza, JP, salads & a drink. Thats what we thought about the prices too. Beer 53c ish in Lidl.Water, oj (€1.19 in Lidl for big carton), coke, fanta? Should be fine!
Just thought about the tickets and if this is ok with everyone: How about 1 x meat voucher ( 2 items from: pork chop or sausage or veggie option or burger) 1 x jacket potato 1 x pizza slice 1 x salad selection 1 x drink (glass of wine red or white/ mineral water/ orange juice/ beer) Tickets need to clearly state what and how much of the item is included!!!Need to do a price list of 'extra's' like glass of wine, beer (if doing it Lidl beer???), soft drink, extra burger etc
Fantastic Mr Badger - Thank you so much - hope I win!!!!
Thanks for asking Jinty - yes really do have some really fantastic prizes now and not too many BBQ tickets left - so anyone able to come please PM us asap to avaoid disappointment!
