To pelt my cakes at this mum's head in the playground this afternoon? <fume>

[MarmaladeTwatkins]

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.

:(

Normally I forget about lighthearted threads as soon as I leave, but this has stuck in my butterfly brain......

Marmalade you have GOT to find out what the chair said to Lemony Snickett....

Kids love them! Just watch them all go then give a smug grin to the wimmin

The PTA chair has to wear her MN scarf to the cake sale now surely?

Shove her posh fondant fancies up her arse! Seriously though, choc cornflake cakes are ALWAYS a favourite, yours will def sell out. I reckon she already looks like a real idiot as she's been so public in making the very rude comment. I'd be tempted to just write 'how rude' and leave it like that. X

Love all of this. I think lemondrizzlelady is the PTA woman who right royally pissed me off this week by:

a) sending round a bossy letter telling us all to sign up for two hour slots at the summer fair and, in brackets "Dads, we'd love to have your help too". In fact that is so annoying by itself that I'm reliving my initial annoyance, right here and now on the sofa

b) pigeonholing me just now with her clipboard to ask which slot I would be taking and then challenging me when I said none (because, just because...I don't even have the head-space to rehearse the hundreds of reasons why I am not taking a stall) with the words "I have two children too and I'm managing to do it".

So, so annoyed. Oh and she was responsbile for the spelt-flour chocolate (but more likely carob) cake monstrosity I accidentally bought last time.

Cornflake cakes sell really well. btw In our school we raise thousands through cake sales, you would be suprised!

Pmsl at this thread!

And I want that pink Fuck This Shit cushion soooo much.

It's a shame more people don't know Dolly Parton's "Harper Valley PTA" - perfect for humming under your breath to righteous PTA drizzlers.

This thread has proven the following:

1. Ptas are bullshit
2. Facebook is bullshit
3. Ptas on facebook are total bullshit
4. Cake sales are, to some extent, bullshit (especially regarding the actual making of money)

So treat them all like heroin and JUST SAY NO

Marmalade, I love you . This thread has had me snorting

Omg what a bitch. You should reply "we'll see you ungrateful cow, or maybe I won't bother"
Have them all talking about it and I'd say why I said it!
God the cake sales bring out the worst in the parents. Hate them and the rivalry.

at our school they're charging extortionate prices. we aren't even told what the fundraising is for which I've brought up over the years. I've heard the cake sellers say they have to cover their costs but isn't it "donation" of cakes so fuck the costs!!

It's Jeannie C Riley DrJohnson. :o (Classic country nerd)

Dying to know how it gets tomorrow!

drjohnsonscat - I love Harper Valley PTA! I used to work with someone who used to sing it at every opportunity - works party, karoake, had 2 beers, it's Tuesday...

Oh, I guess she did do a cover of it! Sorry DrJohnson!

truthfully, I thought it was hers anyway, no idea it wasn't her song or her original rendition! Good to add to my country music knowledge!

And how much would you love to have Dolly on your PTA. So much more fun than uptight lemon drizzle lady.

If PITA PTA lady is on here, she has to do the random letter abusive cupcakes.

OP - I would have been tempted to reply "maybe yours don't"

I love Harper Valley PTA.

Go Dolly!

I decided to buy pancakes for the school pancake disco, as I was happy to make pancakes for the family but didn't then want to have to do another batch for the disco. The next day an email was sent by the PTA head honcho thanking everyone who brought pancakes "especially those who MADE them". It highly amused me then, and it still does now. When it comes to PTA stuff, I bake/make when I feel like it, and buy when it suits.

Good luck tomorrow, marmalade. I'm shamelessly marking my place as I must know how the showdown goes tomorrow.

Fuck her, she's clearly an inadequate cunt.

Be sure to give her a kick from me.

Tell her that they're ever so moreish on account of your secret ingredient.

Dealer-grade Moroccan hashish.

Also marking place, can't wait to hear about bakesalegate tomorrow

Gosh so sorry came in really late on this op.

Make your cakes and be proud.

Wouldn't it be awful if a wee sparrow shat on hers lol.

Btw, tell her to her face you found her comment discouraging. She wasn't "obviously" being sarcastic. Very bad spirited.

I really need to know how the bake sale goes.
As my nap attempt was unsuccessful I need the excitement of cake gate to keep me going.
I will accept further cunt bunting style humour or PTA fb updates. Don't be shy op, I'll be here all night.
