Just a quick one..... I think I've already reached my second goal! (not deducting ingredient expenditure ofcourse). I haven't been monitoring closely everyday like I was with my first goal... but I knew when I started Goal #2 that it would be reached without too much trouble with the cake orders I had lined up. But most of the donations this time came from baking outside of my office.
Just adding the numbers up quickly but there's too many coins to count, I'll have to do a proper count over the weekend... but today was a massive muffin day which made a big difference :)
I'll write more detailed posts and post up pretty photos about the support outside of work when I get some sleep first!
Update - The amount raised is now up to date! (the exchange rate seems better after the election!) I've indeed reached my 2nd goal.. a few advance cake order payments for upcoming cakes, but still, good achievement... and powering on!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING APART OF THIS JOURNEY!
Meanwhile, I think spitting out my muffin in front of me (a little too dramatic maybe?) and making the comments you made is mega rude. YOU probably wouldn't be reading this, but I still need an outlet so I'm going to write it anyway. If you want to eat muffin break muffins or ultra sugary muffins with thick frosting, go buy it elsewhere. I am not customizing my muffin to suit your taste buds, it may be a truthful criticism I'm happy to accept but rudeness is not tolerated. Some people don't seem to remember the reason why I'm sacrificing sleep, time and giving up my birthday and probably a nice holiday as well. I'm not baking for myself nor for people who are just taking advantage of the whole charity campaign and the honesty system! It's really not worth my effort donating all ingredients and barely recovering the costs to go towards building wells - I might as well donate directly as some have mentioned. So why am I still baking? I'm baking for the people I like and who actually genuinely support my campaign. Seriously, if you don't like what I bake, if you can't afford the price I set for my cakes ($2.70!!!) it's pretty easy just DON'T EAT IT!. Go downstairs and pay $4 for something you'd like. Don't say you'll eat it coz you're hungry when you've already cringed and said how awful or "not to standards" it tastes. I'm not sure who's doing who a favour here, the cake eater or the baker?! I never intended to make cakes inedible and spit-out quality, but if you really want a refund go take it out of the box that's cool. I really think those ingredients I have invested for that particular muffin was wasted on you, something that was intended for the mud drinking kids.
I wish I could swear here..... but I guess I need to keep this family rated lol.... but no, I was not happy today with one particular rude person. That is all. I don't stay angry for too long, I'm over it. It's all part of the experience :)
It's not easy to please everyone's palette with the same batch of muffins!
Update - I've become a caaaaaalmer person today hence the massive crossing out of last night's rant. It's difficult to like some people, but I'm getting more out of this whole experience than I had anticipated, which is great :) It is just one person out of the many positive responses I get, I'm not going to stress over the details.
Relax girl!! Wooooo-saaaaaar!!!!
ReplyDeleteThough, I gotta say; reading the crossed out part and in particular, the red angry part was by far the most entertaining part of this entry~ haha..
Shall b awaiting your next "rainbow" entry =)
