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.

Yeah, It'sall, but I'm transposing the faces of some of the prize knobheads round our way and am getting a big vicarious thrill.....

I'd say "lol yes you're right, they'll be hanging round with that soggy lemon drizzle cake that makes an appearance sale after sale (is it the same one do you think? Ha ha)" as if you have forgotten its her that makes it.

"Well obviously I was being sarcastic. They SELL BEST."
Eh? Did she mean she was trying to be ironic? Because saying "Well obviously I was being sarcastic" is basically the same as saying 'I was being nasty and hoping you couldn't think up a witty reply'. Confused

snuffaluffagus · 27/03/2013 14:23

HI LEMON DRIZZLE WOMAN!

I think we all need to sit down and chat about this to clear the air. Who wants to go first?

GetOeuf · 27/03/2013 14:23

haha YES you can't just roll up at school tomorrow with any old crappy cornflake cakes slung together with one eye on the telly.

You will need to make sure they are gooduns don't drop them

Floristneedsaname · 27/03/2013 14:23

Marm it'll be ALL YOUR FAULT that the cake sale doesn't raise the £12k now.

anklebitersmum · 27/03/2013 14:23

Grin GetOeuf...now that would be funny (Sorry Marmalade but it would)

You have SO been rumbled. Bet she's thinking twice about maxi skirts now, too.

LauraShigihara · 27/03/2013 14:24

Some frantic backpedalling going on there. That was so not sarcastic. Just bloody rude.

GetOeuf · 27/03/2013 14:24

Yesw 'well obviously I was being sarsastic' comes from the same cunt stable as 'I don't mean to be rude but...'

I don't know what is going on anymore, WhereYouLeftIt :(

PTA lemon drizzle lady, if you are reading. Send me a sign. Like the headteacher's last initial or the road the school is on.

Sorry, snuffle.....there is no coming back from this one.....

SecretLindtBunny · 27/03/2013 14:25

She's a MNer.

Got to be.

TreadOnTheCracks · 27/03/2013 14:25

Just imagine what everyone is thinking reading her comments - just the same as we have all been saying up thread. RISE ABOVE THIS! and chuck her cakes

GetOeuf · 27/03/2013 14:26

OOh can you imagine if marm makes 2 dozen crispy cakes and her husband sees them in the morning and thinks 'ooh I will take these to work' and then marm has to go to Morrisons and quickly buy a load of crappy cakes to save face.

Kewcumber · 27/03/2013 14:26

Ah the classic "Oh I was only joking..."

Seriously they need to charge 50p and its much easier to add up.

If you can't make a decent sized cake and cut into 12 teensy pieces and make a profit at a sales price of £6 then what on earth do you put into your cakes you lot?

GetOeuf · 27/03/2013 14:27

This thread is more interesting than my entire life.

anklebitersmum · 27/03/2013 14:27

maybe she's a FB MNer..check her profile Marmalade...we need to know

minouminou · 27/03/2013 14:28

It is awesome. A classic.

revolvenotevolve · 27/03/2013 14:28

She's obviously seen this thread then

OzmaofOz · 27/03/2013 14:29

Grin this is fantastic, are you there PTA lady ?

IloveJudgeJudy · 27/03/2013 14:29

No way was she being sarcastic. You just called her on her nasty message. In my very considerable cake sale experience, the cornflake/rice krispie nests sell the best, especially if they've got a little egg on the top.

Please report back on what happens tomorrow. I really can't believe how horrid some people are (well, actually I can, having so much experience!)
