OK, is it stupid to be *this* scared about QMing for pack holiday at the weekend? I'm sorting out the shopping list, and there's just so much to get, and so many to cook for (thank god we've only got a fraction of the Brownies, frankly, or my brain would melt), and I'm a bit worried that it's all going to go hideously wrong, because although I can cope with a few people, I've never catered for nearly 20 at a go, not for proper meals, anyway, and it's a bit terrifying. Well, no. Quite a lot terrifying, frankly. And underneath I rationally think it's probably going to be fine, and if it goes a bit pear-shaped, well, so be it, and it's not like the Brownies are going to starve. And Katie will be there to act the part of anti-kitchen-spaz when need be. But still. Yes. Scared. And I've worked out to the slice how much bread we'll need, and exactly how much fruit, and logically how much fruit juice etc, and then I add a bit more for safety's sake, but I don't really trust the end result, which is ABSURD because if there's one thing I *can* do, it's basic arithmatic. Oh, Xanthe, please don't hate me if I fuck it all up. And don't worry, because it probly will all be fine. Because see above re me being quite stupid.

It WILL be fine and you will do a splendid job of feeding us all. I feel quite sure about this - equally sure that Xanthe will never hate you!

*hugs* I am sure you will do a great job. And if the owls Brownies do eat all the food by Saturday lunchtime, or you get raided by a dog à la (should that be aux?) best GO camping stories, will you be so cut off from civilization you can't get hold of anything more?

And yes, you will do a great job *nids firmly*

You will be fine because you are the Squeen. And if you have too much food, send it my way.

You'll be fine. And I like the designated role of Katie v much indeed *g*

Does Katie get a badge saying that? Sure it will all be fine!

Nervy b's for everyone?

You will be a splendid QM & all will be merry & bright. Yes. I trust you not to end up feeding people bolognaise sandwiches for one thing...

*strokes gently*

I am planning my own version of this panic for July.

*wonders whether Katie is available on loan*

It will be fine...
