...his parting words
"don't look worried Mrs MLV...I got this"

12 pack of kitchen roll
24 luxury toilet rolls- the type that are about 12 tog and will block up our feeble pipes
A partridge
8 different olives
Masses and masses of lemon jelly???
Premier Champagne (he's teetotal) I drink Cava
Popcorn (with sour cream and chives Heresy
the whole biscuit aisle
a farking Heston Blumenthrill cake (£25!!!???)
a crate of festive cheeses
8lb gammon
salmon
bike helmet
fancy bubble bath
posh candles (that smell)

Please share with me tales of bizarre shopping to take off the edge..Grin

I do NOT ask him for cabbage..
He said "I got this"

He had only just got out of the hospital (I'm not going to shout at the poor lamb Grin) My mum used to do stuff like that and us kids would be angsty all xmas...

I didn;t ask him for anything.

He did not get bacon... but he did get 5 packets of chestnuts...

LOL. I'm sorry but that made me giggle! DH is similar but not bad. I do send him with a list, but somehow he doesn't always follow it!

I could do the same and feed me and the kids for aaaaages on that.

He said he will treat me (erm....I do like olives)

the CLASSIC thing is I cannot eat gluten and there is little for me to eat...didn't fancy partridge and Olive fritatta for my brekkie...

he s now out as he declared "I will just get the last minute grocery items..the essentials I missed"

That'll be Dyoralite and a goat on a lead then Grin

I am in a sick way really looking forwards to seeing what he has ...hehe

ooooh which Heston cake was it? DP is absolutely SHIT at shopping, I have to write him lists complete with where a bouts he will find some things in sainsburys.

Loving the random bike helmet!

SavoyCabbage · 24/12/2012 13:16

A partridge! Did you ask for a partridge or was it an impulse buy?

Did he get bacon? You need bacon.

Sparklingbrook · 24/12/2012 13:15

I would be sobbing. Sad

Bossybritches22 · 24/12/2012 13:14

£300?????

I'd fucking kill him not laugh.

Seriously I can feed all of us 3 for a month on that!

cocolepew · 24/12/2012 13:13
