What’s DH coming home with?

265 replies

Sent DH to Aldi with a list of about £40 worth of food.

It’s just pinged on my banking app that he has spent £84! He will be home in ten minutes…

Any guesses what he is coming home with?

I’m going for some sort of middle aisle electric saw that will sit in the shed for the next 10 years unused!

Hopefully some expensive alcohol you live that was reduced, ditto with Christmas treats.

Thermals.

Balance bike if you have a small person.

... but yeah, probably one if their (crap) tools, that'll sit in the shed unused!!

Oh gosh that could be disastrous! Youngest DC is nearly 3 so no use for baby bits, neither of us ski and I’ve got more kitchen gadgets already that will fit in our cupboards!

Has he mentioned a desire to get fit this year because they had a load of weights and fitness type gizmos when I was there the other day.

I always used to buy the kids ski outfits as the coats were amazing when they were little, but my money is on a tool.

A sled, a stunt kite, a garden clock
