I cant keep up with their food intake..LOL

[Halex]

JD you dont have to go on any list, just turn up, your over 18. LOL

I hace decided to make 2 cakes to drop off at the kitchen.
Other items will be bought as I am not sure  where they will get stored, dont want food going off and eb & friends getting sick.
Lollies, ores, chips, shapes, its only 4 days so he wont need too much, but enough to share

CP dont know who runs it etc, just been givem date, time & dropoff, I will probably have tears in my eyes.

I can hear them playing & laughing on the wii upstairs, its nice to hear.

Poor kids, they are both probably feeling the same.  Are they going to stay in touch Hally?

[fundj&e]

  poor baby 

[Halex]

Yes already spoken to his foster mum re more visits and also our 2 families having a get together, she seemed keen too.

Plus told eb he could ring us whenever he wanted too as long as it was ok with his foster mum.

Oh well spent this evening compiling recies to make with my cow

[faffa_70]

a cow is no replacement for EB though Hally  - don't get carried away cooking or you will need him back to help clean out the freezers again 

Hugs for your special family tonight 

[Halex]

Yes faffa, a cow is no replacement. Yes Li have to watch my cooking as we aways have left overs but with eb here nibe.

I have been picking a cucumber from the garden everyday, today I did the same, we have been using 1 per dinner, tonight there was someleft, eb's share also made us all sandwiches, dh too, with cooked chicken breasts, enough left over for eb's round.

How easy it s to get into cooking for 4.

[judydawn]

Due to your kindness, that will be something for him to remember Hally - it must have been a very special time for EB in particular who seems to have missed out on things in life we take for granted.  That amount of food would last us 2 at least 2 weeks, probably longer - glad I don't have your housekeeping expenses     

[jeninwa]

Boys can sure consume heaps of food, I think they just inhale it lol. If it wasn't nailed down my son would eat it, I use to leave notes in the fridge telling him not to eat this it's our dinner. After he came home from school one day and eat our dinner, for an afternoon snack, I think he had a mate to help him. Once he moved out our food bill dropped dramatically, now we have left overs.
