AMaybe it's just rumours and gossip nanny. Don't meet trouble halfway, wait and see if it's true first. X

AThe funny thing is with my shop Maisie, the manager we have is 35, not bothered about that really but as a school cook many yrs ago I use to cook his school meals, and when he started working with us he wa a spotty little kid, now he's our manager, not only that I've seen this boy in some states on night outs, now its a case of poacher turned game keeper, cant take him seriously now. Sorry having a rant guys.

ANo dont think its so much a rumour as he's always going on about having to but his costs, we have alot of highly trained staff in one shop and he has to take on another member of staff as we have 5 opticians working everyday, very very busy and can be so stressful.

A

That's so true me and my boyfriend are ways arguing when I come home with a good rant going and he tries telling me how to solve it. Then when I moan he's telling me what to do he's like 'well why are you telling me then!' haha I kind of get his point but men should learn to just listen sometimes Hehe.

I also thought Kathy was talking about big knickers!

Aww nanny your job sounds like you could be in stressful situation soon I hope not. It's hard when youve just gone part time. Is there nothing John could do as a little part time business like you have with your cakes to help things, maybe that would be preferable to him than getting a job?

Nanny, sorry to hear about the stress you're going through. I do hope it's all rumours about the bonus cut xxx

 

Sorry can't help with the pricing, there's rather a lot on my plate/cake stand at the moment har de har. Joke aside, lots to do lots to think about! I'm sure someone here will help you x

 

Sugarluva, Oooh that's a funny story! Your poor mum! 

 

I have Mia's spare knickers in my bag sometimes for the occasional accident. Hers not mine obviously! Glamorous life I lead...

ALmao maisie at your halo polishing comment, I'm having to use all my resolve to not tarnish my angelic behaviour today :-D

I'd go with displaying three massive brownies that are double price if anyone wants them and the rest as normal size at a normal price... Me man with solution- Does that help?? :-P

Ok sneak peak time, still the finishing touches to go.. Happy birthday plaque and the stick out bits to attach sat morn but it's gone better than I thought! Lol [IMG]http://www.cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3288318/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

AWow gray that looks fantastic. I can only see small pictures on my phone, how did you do all of the detail inside the submarine? Is it an edible image or have you modelled it by hand? Looks amazing!

AI'm going to buy one of those blankets thanks so much, I've already started making him little halfway hops... He's such a happy cat tho... At least he likes being spoiled! :-)

A

Thanks :-) the details inside are all slightly 3d made in SP... That's really the bit that took the time.... its a bit more cartoony than I wanted but I like it.

AGray that's amazing as always!

A

So £180 for the Olaf cake?

*compares with own Olaf cake*

I need to get my own kitchen and start charging more...

Oh Gray - it's better than I had imagined - so cool!  How on earth you come up with these ideas is beyond me. 

 

Haha - big brownies not big knickers!!!  Oh that doesn't sound right either........  I was right - this is going downhill fast.

 

Oh Barbara - I do get  what you are saying.  Yeah - come and rant on here - we don't mind.  It's awful when you know people are not worthy of your loyalty!  Hope he's just blustering.  Our bonus has gone up the creek too.  Seems like the customers are not staying loyal to us and we are all going to cut our cloth....as the saying goes.  Luckily our bonus isn't at Christmas any more (that was a tough year when they changed it I can tell you). 

 

Kathy

AAw wow, thats amazing Gray!!

AAwww, poor Martha! So who'd you think then?

AThanks everyone :-) it was actually Mrs Grays design! She has some amazing ideas... Granted some pants ones too lol but usually amazing :-)

brava to mrs. gray and to mr. gray's good sense to listen to her -- hahahaha --

 

it is awesome!

AWas just browsing Facebook and this photo came up, I couldn't help but think of you two maisie and Kathy!

AFinally caught up last night, said I would read the next page tonight ..........six pages knickers and all later 'stop talking and give me a chance to catch up properly ' :D :D :D

I have no cakes at the moment, I am busy researching gingerbread houses, so I have nothing cakes to add. Today instead of accomplishing any sugar craft feat I spent a good ten minutes in a car park thinking my car was stolen, rang my wife who "gently " reminded me I had walked to work :-(

I am loving all you creations. Gray your submarine is amazing wow!!

AHa ha ha, that takes me back newstreet, similar thing happened to me,finished work went to the carpark as normal, texted john,I cant find the car, no he said cos I'm looking at it,duh!!

AHaha your wife is too kind newstreet. I'd have told you to stop being a twonk and to keep looking for it! Don't dare come home until you've found it hehe

A

Thanks Kate! ...you know there'll be no listening to her after I've credited her in front of the entire extended family... most of whom she's never met! What a first impression! (Kinda looking ing forward to showing her off truth be told but don't tell her I said that!)

AHa ha, yep I know, all I was thinking was 'please don't have left it open this morning' didn't want to face the police, insurance company ....or wife with that one! :D

AOMG! Gray that's amazing! Tell Mrs Gray I said so too. It's the inside layout of the sub in the side isn't it? I love that, it's inspired! I knew it was gona be good but I wasn't expecting that!

Haha Kathy, eat too many big brownies, we'll all need big knickers!

Newstreet and nanny, sounds familiar. I often take my grandads car out, either to give it a run or if my mothers got mine etc. one day I came out if asda to the underground car park and I couldn't find my car anywhere. I was really starting to panic. It got to the stage I was walking round randomly pressing the unlock button on my keys in the vain hope I'd find it. Imagine my surprise when I heard a bleep and saw the flash if the indicators on my grandads blue Peugeot not my black vauxhall! I can't believe I'm even telling anyone this, I didn't even tell my grandad when I got back! See, I am a doofus! :-D

Sugarluva that's wicked!

Good tho, it made me snort. :-D

Hi K8. :-)

AAw bless Gray, that's lovely. :-) have you told her you've credited her on the World Wide Web?

Feeling any better nanny? Made friends with John? Meant to say my money's on Richard I think. Or chetna. Did anyone else have tears in their eyes when the person who went went? Nearly said the name but didn't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet!

AHe's started talking to me now, hardly spoken to me all day, men!!

Ooops, me finks I already said who left.

AGray, thats an awesome submarine!

Yes I'd come to the conclusion that Maisie was onto something with the 'big' part. Sets me apart from other brownie sellers!

Brilliant idea Gray, I'll have a few regular sized ones for the less greedy! I feel less panicked now that its all coming together but I still have loads of bits and bobs to do. I really could do with actually baking the brownies! I finished my mcmillan cake. Will decorate the cupcakes tomorrow.

Piping could do with more practice. Couldn't get the right shade of green so I gave up. I had green on my hands, face, lips and hands. Fortunately all washed and brushed off!

ANewstreet that's really funny! Remins me of when my friend 'lost' her car in Tesco carpark. She got security to help. He pointed out that the car she was looking for was the wrong one- she'd swapped with hubby that day. She did this twice, & the same guy helped her out lol

AOoh Maisie just read your post- just like my friend except she twice, to her extreme embarrassment, got the same security guard to point out that she kept 'losing' the wrong car.

I love to remind her of this story every now and then :D

APoor (name of person who got booted out of GBB!

Did anyone see cookie monster at the end. I peed myself laughing!!!
