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.

LadyC - I have never gotten into a bed full of dog vomit, but ddog2 did once come up onto the bed one morning, and snuggled down with her head on my shoulder, and threw up copiously over me, the bed and dh's pillow. That was not a good morning.

It's in a naice bit of Glasgow. Obviously.

But I can't quite fathom the reasoning for choosing Cheltenham and Glasgow as the two not London locations. Maybe someone in charge just really likes Cheltenham and Glasgow.

TobyLerone · 28/03/2013 15:11

Cheltenham, Cotswolds, poncearama.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2013 15:11

I will have to go and visit WholeFoods in Glasgow - I bet it is on or near Byres Road or Great Western Road!

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 15:12

It's in a bit of a rougharse area of Cheltenham.

Mind you most people would say that the rougharse area of Cheltenham is actually Gloucester Grin

ArbitraryUsername · 28/03/2013 15:12

It's in giffnock.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 28/03/2013 15:13

Am updating from my Kindle so can't say how many I will be able to do. Have just helped set up, but the LDC is not anywhere?

In the old Safeway on fenwick road.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 15:14

Have you started to bully any cakes yet?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/03/2013 15:14

I was wrong - it's in Giffnock - quaite posh, Ai think.

CheerfulYank · 28/03/2013 15:22

Yes, we have a lot of Whole Foods in America but none terribly close to me. And all very expensive!

anklebitersmum · 28/03/2013 15:31

Maybe LDC is in protective custody?

TallGiraffe · 28/03/2013 15:31

No LDC woman? That's going to ruin the fun!

AllOverIt · 28/03/2013 15:38

I wonder where she is????

TobyLerone · 28/03/2013 15:40

Maybe she got poo on her maxi skirt while she was in Asda punching buying rice krispie cakes, so she's running late.

GreenEggsAndNichts · 28/03/2013 15:57

Oh LDC woman, we know you're reading. Just go and make a show of yourself and come read the results. It'll be fab. The internets demands entertainment.

PurplePidjin · 28/03/2013 16:01

Is it bad that every time I see LDC written down my brain says Lemon Drizzle Cunt? Blush

Kneedeepindaisies · 28/03/2013 16:07

Just popped on to get an update about LDC woman and now all I'm thinking is when can I go and punch a cake at Sainsburys!
Lidl is actually closer but do they sell cakes?

MarmaladeTwatkins · 28/03/2013 16:07

OK am back home. Lost my connection on the Kindle.

SHE was there, the LDC was not. There were LOADS of cornflake/rice krispy nests. LOADS. I'd say they outnumbered the "proper" cakes at a ratio of about 80/20.

She is reading the thread though. You are, aren't you?! HIYA!!! I'm going to tell everyone what you did now, you scuzzbag.

She wouldn't bring her sweaty cake out for sale, insisting that she was "saving" it for the helpers (7 helpers in total) She didn't want to sell it because it always got overlooked in favour of the kiddlies efforts but since she had brought the stuff she thought it a shame to waste it.

THEN, she went in near the end of the sale, into the school. She had sliced up the drizzel cake into FIVE pieces and offered the plate round but conveniently ran out when it got to me and the chair.

It looked like scrambled egg inside, love. How do you even manage to get a spnge to look like scrambled eggs?

Grow up, if you're reading this.

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE KIDS MAKE ALL OF THE CAKES AND NOT THE MOTHERS????????

TobyLerone · 28/03/2013 16:09

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

What an absolute twat! And she's pissed the PTA Chair off now, too.

Guess who'll be on chaperone duty at every disco for the rest of time?

madonnawhore · 28/03/2013 16:11

The only way this thread could be better would be for LDC to come out of the woodwork and start online fisticuffs.

Kneedeepindaisies · 28/03/2013 16:11

I think Lemon Drizzle Cunt is an entirely appropriate name for her Purple

MarmaladeTwatkins · 28/03/2013 16:12

Yeah come on. You were too pussay just to start anything.

I have come back with two empty tins. That must stick in your throat!

It's bloody hard to slice a cake in 5. Hmm
It's not a natural cake slice number.
