to be furious with dh for eating cakes he knew were destined for the bin!

OK. I bake a lot. And sometimes my cakes are beautiful, and we all enjoy them. But sometimes it does not go so well and the cakes come out sunk or burnt or still wet in the middle (if dh would get the fan fixed on the oven this would happen a lot less often, but that's another thread)

There is a system, dh and the children are well aware of it. If the cakes are good to eat, they either go in a freezer bag for later use, or in a sealed tin for use over the week, or on a plate on the side so that they can be eaten now. DH knows this and I never complain about him "sampling" even if th cakes are meant for after dinner or whatever. I bake a lot so there is usually something there if he fancies a nibble.

If the cakes are not up to scratch, they go in the bin as soon as they are cooled (or as soon as dh empties the bin - there's another thread there!)

so this morning dh saunters into the kitchen to get himself breakfast. I come in and find him cramming his mouth with the burnt, crappy cakes that were sitting in the bun tray by the bin. I was really pissed off and had a go at him for it. I can make really nice cakes and I make plenty of them, so he has no need to wind me up and embarrass me by eating the ones that have gone wrong. He know it is a pet hate of mine.

so he strops off to work having called me a "control freak" in front of our children who were sitting having their breakfast. I am Not Happy.

No idea, SirSugar, but hope they own up tomorrow so we can thank them for giving us a right laugh! Grin

Blondie1984 · 21/01/2013 22:14

Surely it's a compliment that the cakes you deemed rubbish were,to him, appetizing? And it's not like you had other plans for them is it?

Stropzilla · 21/01/2013 22:14

claps bravo!!

Lueji · 21/01/2013 22:15

I think we need to have a picture of the cakes and a taste too to see if YABU or not...

NormanTheForeman · 21/01/2013 22:15

PMSL Greeny, I knew from the off this was a wind-up but didn't post until much later, as I was enjoying everyone else's gullibility! Blush Grin

Stropzilla · 21/01/2013 22:16

And I hope you appreciated the poetry you inspired. It was fab.

LiveItUp · 21/01/2013 22:16

So Alfrex, well done. Fess all though - was that you last week too with King Tut making an appearance?

YorkshireDeb · 21/01/2013 22:16

Almost wish you hadn't told us. It was so much funnier imagining you were a fruit loop. Well done though - a good evening's entertainment was had by all! X

aladdinsane · 21/01/2013 22:16

What's the difference between a 'wind up ' and trolling and why is one acceptable

ScarletWomanoftheVillage · 21/01/2013 22:16

Well done op!

Pom bear anyone? Bear

HousewifeFromHeaven · 21/01/2013 22:17

What a load of shit.

Lueji · 21/01/2013 22:17

Congratulations. You have made my evening. :)

alfrex · 21/01/2013 22:17

And are you also the bitchbitchbitch OP?

KitchenandJumble · 21/01/2013 22:20

Well, that's a relief. You were quite convincing there for a while.

Thanks for the entertainment. :)

NormanTheForeman · 21/01/2013 22:20

MNHQ must have been pissing themselves over this thread, knowing it was you! Grin

alfrex · 21/01/2013 22:20

No Captain, that one isn't me! Just this one.

well played greensleeves! I enjoyed the thread. It was as least as believable as half the stuff here and a good deal more entertaining.

Cherriesarelovely · 21/01/2013 22:22

Bloody brilliant!!! Just the cheering up I needed. Thanks Greensleeves.
