Last night I went on a baking kick and turned out two batches of fairy cakes (one plain, one choc with cinnamon icing) and a tray of honey almond flapjack. It was kinda to say thanks to people at work - I got a card and chocolates and Lush vouchers for going back to work, which was really sweet of them. Also, I felt like baking. *shrug* It happens sometimes, and when it does the results are usually good.
Unfortunately, I used *real* flour, ate the batter and three fairy cakes, and had stomach cramps all night almost to throwing-up point. So I had about an hour's sleep last night, and we all know what fun sleep deprivation is.
Anyway, I decided against the train with two large boxes of cakes to carry, and took the car in instead. My messed-up mind sent me back into the house four (or was it five?) times for various forgotten items, but I remembered most stuff. Except for my work pass. And my purse. But more on that later.
Work was cool - everyone likes people who show up with fairy cakes ;) So I got a lot of 'thank you' and a lot of 'you shouldn't have' but felt really weird about it for some reason and had a lot of trouble concentrating. I dunno.
Finished up at 2 and went up to Lush to treat myself with the vouchers. Only when I got to the till I realised that my purse was missing. So, I was gonna go in just under the voucher mark (£20) and get the change, but there's this offer on just now where if you spend over £20 you can get a free gift of one of the new products. This includes £25 of face cream! :O The thing is, I was gonna miss out on it because of the £20 mark. I'd nipped out of the shop to call in work and see if it was there, but it wasn't. When I went back in to say I was gonna pull it in below the £20 mark and leave the face cream, the girl (the manager, I think) put a £1 item through the till to put it just over the £20 mark so I could get the face cream after all! How cool is that?! :D So, I took my big bag of lovely Lush goodness in to work to tell them what happened, since I had to pass work to get to my (illegally parked) car anyway. And promptly left the soap and the face cream on someone's desk. *facepalm* Thank goodness for honest colleagues. Much fun was made of the product which I bought named "Sex in the Shower". Gotta love the innuendous product names in that shop, but that is beyond innuendo - and the people I work with need no prompting in that department! ;) So, I suspect I got slightly pink-faced...other people did, anyway!
So yeah. That's about it. Probably not as weird as it seems at the moment, but I'm all sleepy-hyper so whatever. It's fun, I like it. I'm good at computer games when I get like this :D
Oh yeah, and if you're wondering - my purse was under the kitchen table. Yeah.
