Baking sucks

I bake extremely rarely and I'm very unsuccessful at it when I do bake, but after watching The Great British Bake Off today, I felt inspired. I found a recipe, I carefully weighed the flour and butter, I took out never-before-used food processor and preheated the oven (none of which I usually do because I'm too lazy - maybe that's why I'm crap at it?) and I felt really good about the whole baking thing until I realised we have no eggs at home. I guess I skipped the first step in which you actually check if you have all the ingredients. Baking's difficult!
