...I thought I had better be a good granny and make a chocolate cake to keep them going through the week. It seemed like an ok idea. I have done it often enough before.
Big mistake!!! Everything that could go wrong, went wrong.
Luckily I tasted it before I put it in the oven - with no sugar in it. That could be remedied easily enough 
if some of the mixture hadn't snuk (sp?) it's way quietly onto the kitchen floor on it's journey from pans back into bowl, or bowl back into pans. And if I had seen said mixture on floor before treading it all over the place.
And if I had pointed the mixer with the mixture-coated beater inwards on the work surface. Then I wouldn't have brushed against them and got choccy mixture on my clean cardi.
And if I had given up there and then and left the sodding cake kitchen, I would not have spilt caster sugar on the floor. Is there anything worse than scrunching on spilt sugar when you move around the kitchen? Eurgh!
Never mind. It's done and dusted now. Kids will enjoy. and I will go to bed right now

And to think I nearly bought one from Waitrose. 
How could I have even thought of it.
Sounds like my normal baking day jingl.
You wouldn't think it would be difficult to turn this out would you?!
And it's still going wrong!
Oh! That was upside-down on my mini i-pad. 
Mmm Upsidedown Cake - yummy 
My pics always seem to do the same, no idea why [cross]
margsus sometimes I think it's time to pack it in and just buy. But I get this sense of duty. Which is ridiculous really.
... And I can't get smileys right either!
Try again 
Oh my God!!!
I would actually cry! (mind you, it's been done before )
Have a lovely holiday - hope the 
shines for you
