Terrible disaster!

On the way home from the yard, I went to the utterly, fabulously crappy WHAT!!! Home & Leisure round the corner, because they sell packs of cakes that I am a bit hooked on: they're little Italian sponge fingers with chocolate goop in the middle, and I suspect that they contain no ingredients not sourced from a chemical plant. They're a whole pound for a pack of ten, and there was the problem: I had no change. Minimum £5 spend to use a card. Oh noes: they don't all fit in the cupboard....

Is the shop named for what people say as they walk in? I hadn't noticed it - clearly I need a tat visit at some point.

Ah, but we've exchanged contracts now, and I'm fairly sure that even my huge stack of cake is smaller than a greyhound!

...so you had no choice but to eat the ones that didn't fit?

If you need help disposing of them, just let me know.

I shall keep you in mind if I find myself struggling!

We have long concluded that many of the tastiest confections available are byproducts of the petrochemical industry and none the worse for it.

Plus, you can leave them in the car / back of the cupboard for years in case of emergencies, safe in the knowledge that they won't change at all, other than a slight risk of the packaging fading in sunlight!

Not enough cupboard space? Time to move ;)
