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.

Grin Greeny!

It's a bit worrying though, how well you were able to insinuate yourself into the mind of this kind of poster ...

notsofrownieface · 21/01/2013 22:24

What the fuck... I am glad it is a windup well played op Grin

NormanTheForeman · 21/01/2013 22:24

Grin at KateMumsnet turning up - I'm surprised more people didn't smell a rat at that stage....

"This is the first troll thread I've done since garlic arse."

And that sentence alone is an award winner, Greensleeves. Grin

OP, you are a comic genius. It has been almost too much enjoyment for a Monday evening. The geography teacher remark was just a bit too good to be true, though.

Thanks to everyone for the poetry.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 21/01/2013 22:32

If this is what I think it is - thank you and well done OP for the best laugh I've had in ages. You are brilliant.

If this is real, I urge you to get some serious professional help for the sake of your husband, your children, your marriage and yourself.

Really.

LizzieVereker · 21/01/2013 22:32

I think we should club to get her to buy the OP one of these

DizzyZebra · 21/01/2013 22:32

You sound like a whackjob. this is the most pathetic none-issue ever. IF he wants to eat food in his own house he should be able to. Get a grip OP.

Bessie123 · 21/01/2013 22:33

This thread is fucking genius

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 21/01/2013 22:33

You are a legend!!Grin

CaptainVonTrapp · 21/01/2013 22:33

Garlic arse? wtaf?

LizzieVereker · 21/01/2013 22:33

Club together. Stupid laptop, clogged up with cake crumbs.

BIWI · 21/01/2013 22:34

Dizzy - it's a wind-up thread. Read the thread ^ Greensleeves has confessed all Grin

seeker · 21/01/2013 22:34

Oh, for fuck's sake.

CoolaSchmoola · 21/01/2013 22:34

Good work Greensleeves! Although I must admit I am a leeetle bit sad that there isn't some crazed baking loon terrorising a Geog teacher out there somewhere! Thanks

Valpollicella · 21/01/2013 22:34

Well played.. Well played Grin

LegArmpits · 21/01/2013 22:34

This MUST go in Classics, I demand it.

stargirl1701 · 21/01/2013 22:34

Brilliant OP. This really cheered me up Grin

amillionyears · 21/01/2013 22:35

I think MNHQ lets this stuff happen frequently.

forgetmenots · 21/01/2013 22:35

Has to go in classics!

amillionyears · 21/01/2013 22:35

It adds spice to their board.

LizzieVereker · 21/01/2013 22:35

OP, you are fab!

amillionyears · 21/01/2013 22:37

I have thought this is what happens on here from when I joined.
