The one year, I brought in half cake and half warm sausage rolls (40 of each).
The sausage rolls disappeared in a quarter of the time.

Last year a colleague whose birthday is shortly after mine and I bought samosas, pakoras, and spring rolls between us.
There are plenty of places around here to buy such stuff in bulk, and very popular they are too.

M birthday is between Christmas and New Year's Eve. As noone works in this period of time, it solved the "bring cake" problem for me: Officially, I have no birthday. You can call me Connor McLeod.

I think you need a birthday makeover.

In my family birthdays are a big deal. We always have a big deal. Granted, my daughters parties are huge and the wife and I settle for dinner, or simple gifts, but that is what makes each of us happy.
We also usually try to take those days off work. They are a big deal.

You could ask him for a sledge hammer.
They're handy for knocking down wooden structures, for example.
Quick! Look up "duck" on wikipedia! I need to know how it's done!

Well played.
I've had another thought on the shed. The council say that plastic or canvas covered structures are OK so I'm gonna put a pole at each corner and cover the shed in something none rigid and non durable, may even paint a picture of a shed on it, and hope that they don't ask to have a look inside.

If their exact wording is "plastic or canvas covered structures", just throw a tarp over it.
That'll teach the buggers to think before committing words to paper.

Quote: For the avoidance of doubt, a shed, in this context, is defined as a building or structure with walls and a roof, in excess of 1 metre in height, being constructed from wood or other solid materials, and used for the storage of tools and materials associated with allotment gardening and/or as a means of shelter.
It does not include polythene or plastic covered greenhouses and polytunnels which constitute a framework pegged into the ground and covered with a lightweight, removable plastic or polythene type covering.
The first paragraph gives me another idea. If I remove everything from it, and do not go in it, then it is not covered by the enforcement notice as it is neither used to store things associated with allotment gardening, nor as a means of shelter.
