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.

Decorate your cakes with 50p pieces. Sell them for 20p.
LDC woman... you should have just said 'lovely, thank you' in the first place but I guess you know that now eh? Nevermind, it'll be July soon, not long.
If anyone wants to start a cunt bunting business I have hands and a sewing machine.

Maybe she will send her partner to do the school run? Who will then have a passive aggressive go at Marmalade for upsetting her?

I hope other members of PTA are mumsnetters too
The mrs lemon drizzle's of this world need to be buried and baked in their own cakes!

TigerFeet · 27/03/2013 15:07

LDC woman can't be on here, she wouldn't make shit lemon drizzle cake if she was.

FrequentFlyerRandomDent · 27/03/2013 15:05

She wears a maxi skirt every day. I don't think that she could find jeans to accommodate her thighs tbh, unless she starts shopping at lumberjackthreads.com

If she'd said "oh no, those don't sell... best give them all to me ;)" then you would think she was being funny. If there was no wink then she's just mean.

Gosh some of those cushions are a bit niche

TerraNotSoFirma · 27/03/2013 15:03

This is brilliant.
So the lemon drizzle cake was only mentioned on here and not on Facebook? Am I correct in thinking that?

Well, lemon drizzle mum.....will this teach you not to be so horrid?

Lizzylou · 27/03/2013 15:03

Wonder if Lemon Drizzle beeatch will be wearing a maxi skirt today?!

minouminou · 27/03/2013 15:02

Ours breaks up tomoz too, but I don't think it's our place!
Wish it was, though!
All we need now is Chickpea Churl to mount a response.......

I get the cooking facilities, limited palate issue - I really do, which is why I thought the chickpeas would do OK at least. Open the tin, heat them up....someone'll have them.....
It was just the high-handedness that did it for me.

No, Frequent! What area are you in, though? We are in the West Midlands.

KoalaFace · 27/03/2013 15:00

it is for sure the "proper cakes" that outs Lemon Drizzle as a PITA and her comment as serious.

Feels funny not to direct the comment directly at you actually Lemon Drizzle. I know you're out there...

Don't be upset Lemon! Make your cake and be gracious about other people's efforts and all will be right at the cake sale Grin

I quite like Marmaduke... makes me feel like a tough guy.

Minimou, you're right. I am good at detecting sarcasm. I don't think that was it.

Don't pelt her with your lovely cornflake nests. Batter her with her fucking cupcakes.

FrequentFlyerRandomDent · 27/03/2013 14:58

Mm. Mine break up tomorrow too. Does the school street name start with W?

SugariceisaGoodEgg · 27/03/2013 14:57

Marmaduke? Blush apologies Marmalade!

minouminou · 27/03/2013 14:57

Yeah...she'd have said something along the lines of "Oh no, not flake-cakes.....noooo...they never sell! Mini Eggs....the kids hate 'em.....we want Garibaldi and sugar free pound cake!" with a wink.
IF she was really being sarcy.

SugariceisaGoodEgg · 27/03/2013 14:56

I've lolled heartily at this. Grin

Man up Marmaduke, do the school run with your head held high!

MarmaladeTwatkins · 27/03/2013 14:56

Ours don't break up until tomorrow! Shock It's terrible! They didn't break up for christmas until the 23rd!

FakeHotCrossLobsters · 27/03/2013 14:55

She wasn't being sarcastic.

You've picked her up on an unnecessary snark and the Chair of the PTA has backed you up on it.

Now she's back peddling and has taken refuge in the "you just haven't got a sense of humour" line of defence that all bossy britches use when they say something that isn't obviously funny and they get called out on it.

Why be sarcastic in the first place anyway? Not that she was, she's just trying to save face now and doing it badly.

Youcanringmybell · 27/03/2013 14:54

This is my BIG FAT PLACE MARKING ...

Shock

She was rude. Yes siree...........

Goodluck op
