Befuddled

Trying to organise a fuddle to take to Jane in hospital over the weekend  (if she's well enough),  but getting bogged down with logisitics and variables to do with people, timings and snow.

For the uninitiated, 'fuddle' is a Nottingham word meaning a gathering where everyone brings food. I'm guessing it's a fusion of the words 'food' and 'huddle'. There will doubtless be lots of these going on in offices across town at the moment. I don't think fuddles exist outside Notts (but correct me if I'm wrong).

Nice idea but can be a nightmare to plan - who's bringing what where when why etc etc. Maybe it should be called a muddle...
