What’s DH coming home with?

Troublesometooth · 09/01/2022 14:15

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!

Luckily the Relationships board is good for advice when you divorce him because of this ...

A Ski jacket for you or him?
An air fryer?
A selection of Joe Wicks cook books?

Something he is struggling to get into the car?

Kids climbing frame? Grin

Looking at today’s Special Buys, my money is on an air fryer. Sorry for the sensible suggestion but you will find it very useful!

A spade, gravel and paving stones.
OP is installing the new patio. The DH is MIA

I've banned DH from going.

Last time he went, he came back muttering about an air compressor and about how handy it would .

I gave him a Paddington Stare and pointed at the corner of my office which, at that time, was the favoured spot for his tool box.

If I was having an affair with a married man and he bought me a surreptitious romantic gift from the middle aisle of Aldi I'd definitely ditch him. Unless it was gin.

Ddog coats designed by Oasis...
Reduced mince pies - 10 boxes.
Garden planters. And soil.

If he's bought one of these and you don't want it, I'll have it!

YouDoIDo · 09/01/2022 15:22

It was clearly something so delicious OP has forgot all about the thread 😁

NotRainingToday · 09/01/2022 15:22

Youngstreet · 09/01/2022 15:22

It’s car accessories in our Aldi.
