What that is so beautiful! !!! I can relate to the 💩 instead of 🎂. I once attempted to make DS a minecraft cake. It looked absolutely awful.

I made GREEN brownies once

better. I'm less bothered about Mr Cameron munching on Colin than I am about his consumption of rare pork....

AGL. I think I've had 'green' brownies before..... They were very 'moreish'. Very. Very, very.

vanilla. Grin. It's bloody Pinterest! It encourages you to attempt the most ridiculous things! I once tried to make my own bra because of that site! Substituting pipe cleaners for underwire may not have been the greatest ploy...... EPIC fail.

AverageGayLad · 16/08/2016 12:39

No, I mean literally green coloured brownies Grin

jessica. I think the word 'random' best surmises this thread....

toadgirl · 16/08/2016 12:44

PS the M and S feet are delicious and fiercely fought over whenever I've bought a Colin

Maybe you need to buy Cedric the Centipede (I just made him up, sadly).

I don't know if this thread can be understood.

You have to be mad to post here, etc.

If you're not already batty, you soon will be if you stick around.

toad. I have never before experienced such a high, followed by such a low, in one short sentence.....

toadgirl · 16/08/2016 12:50

Aaaaw, Jess!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 16/08/2016 12:55

Ah Pinterest! The place to build up your dreams of DIY heaven, only to tear them down as you realise how ridiculously crap at DIY you are.

toadgirl · 16/08/2016 12:57

I've never got into Pinterest, although I have recently had a go as I am trying to get to grips with a capsule wardrobe.

Honestly, at my age, I am still trying to "find my fashion self" (or some such bollocks).

Had a huge clear-out over weekend of clothes I never wear.

I am fat, frizzy-haired and badly dressed. Blowsy (is that word still used?).

Something must be done!!!!!! Shock

toadgirl · 16/08/2016 12:58

Don't want to embarrass AGL at his graduation!

VanillaSugar · 16/08/2016 13:06

AGL i made a Novella Lawson chocolate cake which was a mistake as it was so dry. Um yes. Like soil actually. Then green icing full of E numbers. Then I broke squares of chocolate to turn into creeper.

Only.....

The icing melted off, taking the Chocolate squares with it. We watched as they gently slid off the cake.

Then.....

The school mums round here are very snooty. "Is that ALDI chocolate? Euwww. I always get my children's cakes sent up from Choccywokkydo."

Fuck off.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 16/08/2016 13:09

toad. You have just described my good self! I definitely prefer 'blowsy' to 'frumpy' (which I rather suspect I am). I have attempted boho, preppy, surfer chic and even grunge - suspect I may be about twenty years too late for that one. Cannot really see myself as a goth, but who knows? Technically, I do have a capsule wardrobe because I seem to wear the same four tops and bottoms, day in day out (including the never-to-be-worn-to-Co Op beige monstrosities. Soooo comfy, though)

vanilla. I'm dreading bake sales. So, so dreading them.... Sad

VanillaSugar · 16/08/2016 13:13

Traybakes. Brownies and flapjacks. Can't go wrong!!

RedOnHerHedd · 16/08/2016 13:16

Well hello there.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 16/08/2016 13:16

Ah, vanilla but I could. I so very could. I attempted a pizza a few months back. I had no idea that pizza dough was 'different'. I basically baked a very large biscuit.

toadgirl · 16/08/2016 13:18

blowsy
adjective also blowzy UK /ˈblaʊ.zi/ US /ˈblaʊ.zi/

A blowsy woman is rather fat and looks untidy, often with badly fitting clothes.

^ Oh, yes. This is SO me. Never was there a better word for me. I think my picture would be next to this word if you looked it up.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 16/08/2016 13:19

Come on in, Red get comfy (shuffles along sofa)
