Badly planned!

[elspeth]

Having got in from doing my groceries, I decided to get ahead of myself and make a fruit cake. My parents are coming over later and one has to pretend to be civilsed occasionally.

And having put it in the oven for its hour and a quarter baking, I realised I now can't cook my lunch.

Didn't think that one through, did I? Now I'm hungry and the house smells of baking, it's a dreadful combination!

Why cant you cook lunch? 

[elspeth]

Cos the oven's occupied with the cake

Make a sandwich or a salad or a toastie or some soup or something.

I eventually did just that... still vaguely irritated with myself, though! Such is life...
