"Chilli + Free Trousers From The Past"
So... if I were to cook Chilli tonight, who will be around to eat it? If I get six people or more then it's worth doing. If I get up to four then I'll consider doing it anyway... If you have any strange dietary restricions, let me know as well so that I can cater for them as much as is reasonably possible whilst still making chilli...
On a different note, whilst sorting some stuff in my room I discovered a pair of combats that I put aside a few years back because they were too big for me. I remember I bought them in error. I bought two or three pairs all the same size and only tried on one pair. One of the others turned out to be mislabelled, and because I didn't buy them locally and because of the fact that it would have cost me more to get back and change them than I paid for them in the first place, I just bunged them in a cupboard and forgot about them. Now I find them, and de to my slight increase in girth over the years, they now fit... well, sort of. They fit around the waist. I'll have to take up the ankles a few inches to cater for my particularly short legs, but I'm used to that.
The Upshot? Even though I paid for them, my brain is still thinking "Huzzah! Free trousers from the past!"

do you need anything picked up from the shops as I will be going past a tescos on the way to yours?

As far as I know I don't need anything for the Chilli, but we're getting dangerously low on loo-roll... If you could grab some of that it'd be handy...

Can I get back to you when I have confirmations from people who I offered spots too yesterday (when I started planning) but have been unable to confirm with yet? If you don't hear from me by 7pm, then give me a shout (my phone is working, but doesn't tell me who missed calls are from at the moment for some reason, and I still can't get at my answerphone messages!)
If I do feed you, you'll want to bring some form of bolstering flavouring, as my Chilli tends towards what you'd call mild...
