to do the food shopping alone even though DH will be annoyed

[OhdearNigel]

My DH never, ever lets me go food shopping on my own. He always insists on coming, I suspect because he wants to fill the trolley up with biscuits and chicken kievs that he knows I won't buy !
We should have gone shopping last week, the cupboards and fridge are looking like mother hubbard's and the cats are having to eat tuna because there is no cat food. However, due to our shifts there is no opportunity for us to go food shopping this week as the only time we are both off is tomorrow evening when I will be putting DD (18m) to bed. He will be at work now until probably next week.
The only way I can get the food shopping done will be to have it delivered or go on my own - both of which will cause a row because of his odd obsession with coming shopping.
WWYD ? I have no milk, no sugar, no butter, no potatoes, no lots of things and really do need to go shopping before next Tuesday

I fancy chicken kievs for tea now

I like chicken kievs. I should really learn how to make them

OP - go do your shopping. Have crappy cheap kievs as one meal on your plan.

Also, have a massive row with your husband and make sure he understands that you are on a budget.

Are they homemade biscuits Zachary???

And cats lick their bums anyway BadTaste - so it's all good.

chickens, can i have one of your chooks please

I have a rare hankerin' for kiev now

dbf, I agree with you. You sound crazy in a really lovely way!

Nope, they're bought. Full price and all.

Well, as you were then...

AnyFucker, you acn have ASBO Chicken. If you can catch her and she doesn't kill you first.

salmo re-read what you just said...

"And cats lick their bums anyway BadTaste - so it's all good"

What part of that is all good?

I'd love to have 5 cats, and would if my dog would allow it :)

I wonder if he'd tolerate the presence of a cat, in exchange for a daily chicken Kiev though, hmm...

And at chickens

Why don't you go, get what you need for tonight and then sit down with him and try to agree a budget that suits you both? If you feel that you can't do that with him (and I suspect you do) then you need perhaps to look at ways of dealing with him.

A divorce petition would be my initial suggestion..

ASBO chook ?

lemme at her

< prepares the breadcrumbs >

Are chickens pets, or potential kievs?

I must admit, when I first moved to Canberra ( which is a bit hippy, despite its image) and was looking for a shared house, I avoided all those (many) who said they kept chickens. Not that I have anything against chickens, just that I was afraid the owners might be slightly crazy in a mad recycling, not using adequate heating, (refusing to have shop bought biscuits) kind of way.

Homemade biscuits rarely have enough chocolate on them.

5 cats?

I'm not actually sure that the five cats was ever confirmed

It was tongue-in-cheek Bad (or tongue-in-bum!)

I do have cats - they have a huge sense of entitlement

My chickens are pets. They live in the Chook Palace. Sometimes they get bathed and a blow dry. That's normal, right?

normal for crazy people

Is bathing a chicken more dangerous than bathing cats? Do they try to peck you when you do it?

Sorry, I seem to be in a silly mood tonight... Probably because I was meant to go to bed about an hour ago but got hooked on this tread
