To pelt my cakes at this mum's head in the playground this afternoon? <fume>

The school are having a cake sale tomorrow and have BEGGED for donations of cakes. They have been Facebooking about how desperate they are all week as they want to make a dent in the £12,000 target needed for some new play equipment in the playground. One might think that flogging cakes at 30 pee each is not the way to make a dent but that's another thing...

I am pushed for time this week but I thought I could do some cornflake easter nests with some mini eggs on top as a quick alternative to baking and frosting two dozen fairy cakes. So I went out and bought the stuff (which I reckon cost more than they will get from the sales tbh) Then I replied to one of the FB begging messages saying "I will bring some cornflake easter nests tomorrow, will have about 40" Then one of the PTA wimmin replied "Ha ha! That's great but be prepared to take most of them home as they don't sell as well as real cakes."

Fuck. You. Bitch.

I wonder where she is????

TallGiraffe · 28/03/2013 15:31

No LDC woman? That's going to ruin the fun!

anklebitersmum · 28/03/2013 15:31

Maybe LDC is in protective custody?

CheerfulYank · 28/03/2013 15:22

Yes, we have a lot of Whole Foods in America but none terribly close to me. And all very expensive!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2013 15:14

I was wrong - it's in Giffnock - quaite posh, Ai think.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 15:14

Have you started to bully any cakes yet?

ArbitraryUsername · 28/03/2013 15:13

In the old Safeway on fenwick road.

Am updating from my Kindle so can't say how many I will be able to do. Have just helped set up, but the LDC is not anywhere?

It's in giffnock.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 15:12

It's in a bit of a rougharse area of Cheltenham.

Mind you most people would say that the rougharse area of Cheltenham is actually Gloucester Grin

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2013 15:11

I will have to go and visit WholeFoods in Glasgow - I bet it is on or near Byres Road or Great Western Road!

TobyLerone · 28/03/2013 15:11

Cheltenham, Cotswolds, poncearama.

ArbitraryUsername · 28/03/2013 15:10

It's in a naice bit of Glasgow. Obviously.

But I can't quite fathom the reasoning for choosing Cheltenham and Glasgow as the two not London locations. Maybe someone in charge just really likes Cheltenham and Glasgow.

LadyC - I have never gotten into a bed full of dog vomit, but ddog2 did once come up onto the bed one morning, and snuggled down with her head on my shoulder, and threw up copiously over me, the bed and dh's pillow. That was not a good morning.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 15:10

Do you have Whole Foods market near you cheeful - seems that they are a lot more widespread in america (well, it's an american store) and are they as fiendishly expensive as they are in the UK?

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 15:07

Doesn't make sense - they are all in London apart from two - Cheltenham and Glasgow Hmm

anklebitersmum · 28/03/2013 15:06

ooohh...sorry TwoPounds..clearly my brain was engaged trying to memorise the french for turtle-heading Blush

TobyLerone · 28/03/2013 15:06

I learned it from Twitter, LadyC, so it must be true.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 15:05

I just roared at the clips of those doofuses throwing milk.

Halfway through there is a clip of a bloke in Asda throwing gallons around, I had to look really closely as he is the absolute image of my brother. I thjought I discovered a deep dark secret then.

That dirty cow doing a shite. That's probably the MN poo troll right there.

CheerfulYank · 28/03/2013 15:05

Properly pmsl at "mole at the checkout." Here is a turtle head poking.

Ewwww, did the supermarket not have a bathroom? Wtaf?

TwoPoundCakePuncher · 28/03/2013 15:04

Noooo its me totally random namechanging regular TwoPoundCharityShopShoes!

ArbitraryUsername · 28/03/2013 15:03

There's a whole foods in Glasgow too. My mum loves it.

Seems that they've decided to go on fairly random expansion outside of London. Glasgow is not the obvious next location, distributions-wise.

anklebitersmum · 28/03/2013 15:03

OOOOOhhhh, looking swish Marm?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 28/03/2013 15:02

I can't watch that clip, I'll puke. I've already made the mistake of reading another thread about someone getting into a bed full of dog vomit.

Toby, that can't be true about the French for touching cloth, can it? Grin Grin Grin

EffieTheDuck · 28/03/2013 15:02

Just back from Lidl and gave a brioche circle a bit of a slap.
Solidarity and all that.
