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.

God I am so easily amused.

HUGE Grin getOuef

I am sooo tempted to trifle shake later..

TwoBrasDontMakeABodice · 28/03/2013 13:52

Haha @ GetOeuf There is a Wholefoods in Giffnock (suburb 12 miles south of Glasgow) that needs some cakes punched. I remember the thread where you told of your skittle game. I laughed my ass off!!!

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 13:53

OH MY GOD

We all need to shake trifles to the sounds of the Harlem Shake and create youtube montages.

The skittles was great fun. It may have dented a few tins of marrowfat peas but hey - who cared? I don;t think I was personally responsible for the demise of Gateways supermarkets.

My dd works in a supermarket and she breaks stuff - she smashed a couple of easter eggs last week and they had to go in the reduced aisle.

Epiphany: perhaps she did it on PURPOSE for fun Shock

TwoBrasDontMakeABodice · 28/03/2013 13:57

It's in her genes!

RandallPinkFloyd · 28/03/2013 14:00

That thread was hilarious. I can't for the life of me remember what it was actually about but the peal clutching at the tin can skittles and cake punching was one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.

You supermarket renegades you.

WilsonFrickett · 28/03/2013 14:03

I loved that thread nearly as much as this one. I don't love anything as much as the internet trifle shake down take down though....

MarmaladeTwatkins · 28/03/2013 14:08

That thread was in Chat, wasn't it? So it's probably gone now :(

The time is fast approaching. Am actually a bit nervous now...

Just whip up a batch of penis cakes OP. You will be absolved from any future PTA events.
One of those pictured in your link is looking at me. It is not very naice.

RandallPinkFloyd · 28/03/2013 14:13

I'd be scared too. LemonDrizzle sounds like a grudge bearer to me. I reckon she's going to spend the whole time giving you the stick eye.

You'll have the last laugh of course because she's a giant loser but still, she will never forgive.

Dur dur duuuuuur.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 14:16

Good luck maramalde - hope it goes well.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 14:17

eh? oh you know what i mean.

BatmanLovesVodkaAndCherryade · 28/03/2013 14:18

I love the Whole Foods in Cheltenham. I go and look at all the lovely fruit, they way it's presented is like art, really it is.

Then I cross the car park to Sainsbo's and actually buy the fruit.

Please don't accidentally knock the lemon drizzle off the stall, OP, cos then that'll be a reason why it hasn't sold, rather than because it has been punched is shit.

Lucyellensmum95 · 28/03/2013 14:25

Is it time?

anklebitersmum · 28/03/2013 14:28

Apply mental body armour and helmet, then it's shoulders back, chin up, cakes ooooout Marmalade

Go punch some sweaty cake's head in Grin

Sunnywithshowers · 28/03/2013 14:28

Dying at this thread, especially cake punching.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 14:29

lol at going to saisnburys to actually buy food.

It is very cleverly done, that Whole Foods. They have a burger garnish package - which is just some beef tomatoes sliced, red onion and some lettuce all presented beautifully on a tray. For £3.50. And I nearly BOUGHT IT.

I paid a fortune for one cupcake for dd as well. It is very expensive, nice for treats though. I would have to be drunk to do a full shop there.

TobyLerone · 28/03/2013 14:38

Bollocks. I've just been to Sainsbury's and clean forgotten to punch a cake :(

Actual wee has just almost come out because of this:
