My lovely butter has gone missing

[Babysharkdoodoodood]

After reading this thread, I fancied some nice M & S Butter - the French one with salt crystals. Got some yesterday and duly unpacked into fridge.

Went to have some toast and marmalade and it's gone!

Very suspicious as Stepson and family (who I've fed all week, despite general fussiness) just left this morning, taking the food they bought for the kids; cereals etc. Husband has also gone away to see his mum for the weekend but doesn't need food.

They left their 'Can't Believe its not Butter' though 😭

And yes I emptied the fridge, my bag and any other places that butter might like to lurk

Bloody thieves!

That’s very cheeky to take a premium product from you and leave their cheap stuff. It must have been on purpose. The positive spin on it is maybe your stepson loves and trusts you so much that he thinks you won’t mind if he treats himself. I guess he thought ‘yum, she has great stuff and won’t mind me having some’.

I almost delcared myself an only child a few years ago when Dbro and myself went to CP with our respective families. I brought lovely butter, SIL brought nasty spread - my niece and nephew loved the real butter and neglected the nasty spread so when I came to have my toast that was all that was left.
Dbro said I was ridiculous and it was all the same - well if thats true why had my posh butter gone and the nasty spread left untouched????
I have a posh butter dish for my posh butter and everyone knows not to touch it.
The rest of them get President spreadable so not totally neglected

I can sense you churning up inside, you sound like you've spread yourself thinly catering for your guests and they've been nothing butter couple of ungrateful thieves.

Apologies for the butter puns, I think it's the heat. I tried to stop, but I was on a roll.

It's your stepson, isn't it? Bloody cheek! I love that butter and would be driving off to get it back!

Very good. 🤣

On a Batch, you mean?
😃

A cob.

I’d post it back to them. They’ll know you know.

Dh is right inasmuch thst a pat of butter is not the end of the world. (So he won't object to buying you a fresh one.)

But ....

How bloody dare they! How fucking bloody is that behaviour?

Should they ever be permitted to cross your threshold again, keep your precious, premium butter out of sight. In its own little butter dish in your wardrobe under a jumper. And buy something skanky for the thieves.

If you’re really upset 😫 you’ll have to follow the example given in aforementioned thread and hide it at the back of the fridge next time!! 😱 Suggest freezing the Can’t believe . . . . and presenting it to them next time they visit!
😂 🧈 🤣🧈 😂🧈 🤣

Have you sent them a snarky message? I wouldn't be able to hold back!

I suppose it could just be a mistake… one of them says, “Don’t forget the butter”, meaning the spread and the other one takes your butter because it is the only “butter”.

I would just ask them if they moved it when they were packing, see what they say…

CFs, I’d save it and give it back to them next time you see them with a casual ‘oh you left this in our fridge.’
I’d be fuming too 🤬

I'd be ringing and telling them to get the fuxk back here with my butter, the CFs

So naughty! Butter with salt crystals is one my little “luxuries” that elevate my day. I would be so pissed off.

Have you tried baking with it? It’s delish in a crumble topping with wholemeal flour.

Phone them and tell them you need it back - for special health reasons. Go on about high cholesterol and that's the only butter you can have because the cows are fed on grass and nothing else - which is good for cholesterol - and by the way they left their ultra high processed stuff in your fridge too.

Get echo margarine in next time they visit!
