Mumsnet Talk

I've done the same thing but with a deodorant stick classy.

Definitely classics for you op!

I could genuinely feel your rage

(Soz for the piss taking but kudos for taking it like a champ!)

Actual lols at HoneyDragon's H too.

Why do I keep picturing Bupcakes for some reason - Bupcakes is that you?

I think you're a designer. The way you laid out the type on your shocked and furious photo is exemplary

Aldi creams are great, like really really great.

actually, just checked Aldi's website and most of the pots no longer have the rising thing, although this one still does
rising bottom shimmer day cream

but even without the rising bottom the Aldi pots of cream are great, they are 1.99 when they're about 6-7 quid for oil of olay equivalents and they have rave beauty magazine reviews

is there a better phrase to use than "rising bottom"? <goes to look up thread for inspiration>

OP, go to Aldi and get their moisturiser. They have the same posh rising bottom thing and it's just as good as OoU (is it ulay or olay now, can't remember).

This made me laugh so hard I have startled the kittens. And forgotten how that whole breathing thing works...

Oh, a classic if ever I saw one - well done OP for coming back! - love the cream cheese story too!!

The pic got reposted a few posts back.

Thank you StuntGirl for suggestion as DH will definitely if I try to buy it again next time we go shopping now. Think I will try and blag my way out of that self embarrassment at least, although he didn't spot my mistake either! So at least we're well-matched <goes to fling self off cliff>.

Oh, OP... You made my evening. Put the photo up again, pretty please!

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

HD My German husband would support your cream cheese campaign. He likes his rules and regulations and dammit it's 79p for 250grams of cream cheese, not 79p for 240grams of cream cheese.

(I knew that would be his reaction but I did just test him. He pursed his lips and twitched a bit at the very thought of it. )

Thank you lougle

<high fives OP> fab

Everlong, the OP had used the cream, but didn't realise the shelf rises as you pump, so when she opened the tub, she saw that the tube was almost empty (it was) but thought that it hadn't been full in the first place and that they'd used a clever disguise

Where was the cream?
Don't be mean, just explain to me please?

Fab. I did not know the op had returned.

I flipped out at Sainsbos once and demanded to be present at the weighing of their cream cheese as mine was always under 250g. Which meant some other bastards were getting extra or they were running and elaborate cream cheese scam. I had the phone in my hand and was selecting caller options before dh went

"HD - it's 79 pence. What the you actually intend to achieve?"

Thank you,so much I have had the crappest day ever and you have really put a smile on my face.

Seriously well done for taking it with such good grace .

op i adore you.

you've cheered me up!

I have asked if it can be put into classics. Fingers crossed MNHQ agree. Its made me laugh so much.

Oh this has to go in classics surely?

If it ran out quickly interrogate your DH - he may have been using it to slather on his hands as if it were cheap Nivea.

I speak from experience, here.

Seriously - I have just finished one of these exact moisturisers.if you snap the TOP off you can get a few more grams of product out.........{cheapskate emotion}

Oh, thank you!

Never seen one before.

But I think I recognised the brand & will have a look!
