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.

It's today!

::sighs with contentment::

I might make some chocolate nests to scoff while waiting for updates. It'll feel more festive that way...

BiddyPop · 28/03/2013 08:35

I am looking forward to sneaking in for updates during the day!!

And thanks Pollywollydoodle - I had wondered about that when there was a lot of talk of "middle class families really struggling", but I guess I hadn't thought as much of those who always struggle. (I usually give a large bag to the supermarket trolley collections so I was taken aback at the reaction to my efforts to go farther).

Emilythornesbff · 28/03/2013 08:34

It's a beautiful day. Just right for a cake sale.

HorryIsUpduffed · 28/03/2013 08:25

It's cake sale day!

::hyperventilates::

itsMYNutella · 28/03/2013 08:23

Thanks greeneggs I'm off to look for them today :)

Unashamedly marking place for this afternoon's update

Have just read this thread from beginning to end and it's brilliant!

Oh and drjohnsonscat wonder if I know you?! We had the same letter this week and it really pissed me off too. Fuck 'em, we're going away this year

Tortoiseontheeggshell · 28/03/2013 02:20

Oh excellent, I do love a good righteous indignation thread. Well done, marmalade.

CheerfulYank · 28/03/2013 01:28

I agree Runmbelina! I laughed harder at that comment than I have at anything in ages.

mutantninjamyrtle · 27/03/2013 23:31

All I have to say, really...

"Fuck you lemon drizzle murderer. Fuck you right up the bum" is one of the best things I've ever read on the internet.

blondieminx · 27/03/2013 23:00

Best thread in ages

I want some naice cuntbunting!

quoteunquote · 27/03/2013 23:00

KayHunt · 27/03/2013 22:58

I want some cunt bunting and a chocolate crispy cake. I must listen to Harper Valley PTA tomorrow as I walk though the playground

This is a brilliant thread, thank you!

Marmelade - I notice from one of your earlier posts that she refers to the children as kiddlies. For this alone, she must die.

Vendettamoon · 27/03/2013 22:47

I made chocolate crispie nests tonight. I use melted mars bars in mine. They are squidgy yet firm and lovely. I am low carbing so have been sniffing them.

InLoveWithDavidTennant · 27/03/2013 22:46

op i really really hope you have mn on your phone so you can update us every second hour!

LandofTute · 27/03/2013 22:44

OP how do you know that lemon drizzle doesn't read mumsnet? I assume you do know because of your later post about her massive thighs? Or are you just very brave?

GreenEggsAndNichts · 27/03/2013 22:33

itsMYnutella You can get cornflakes in Germany, go to Aldi or Lidl. My in-laws always have them when we visit them there. I'm not sure which one they get them from, but they're probably available at both.

VivaLeBeaver · 27/03/2013 22:24

Peanut butter in chocolate cornflake cakes is lush.

trixymalixy · 27/03/2013 22:19

I've also been inspired to make Easter nest cakes with the kids. Mmm mini eggs.

Selks · 27/03/2013 22:16

@ the 'fuck this shit' cushion

HoobleDooble · 27/03/2013 22:15

Maybe make her her very own personal cake, just as a peace offering? I'm thinking maybe Bran Flake coated with Ex-Lax chocolate?

MrsMeeple · 27/03/2013 22:12

You should make sure yours are priced at more than hers. Then when you out-sell her it will be double so sweet.

Medal · 27/03/2013 22:10

Cunting!

Fantastic thread, please please update us on what happens tomorrow, good luck! Bet your nests will sell out twice as fast as her poncy drizzle.
