Wtf should I do?
I don't think it's on finance either.

Leave him, keep the sandwich.

DamnBamboo · 28/01/2012 09:46

What is the point? Really.

motherinferior · 28/01/2012 09:47

Have you looked at his phone?

depends has he unwrapped it or can it go back or be sold on ebay?

(Guessing this is a taat)

TheGrimSweeper · 28/01/2012 09:49

Grin.

MrsChemist · 28/01/2012 09:49

Stealth boast! Not everyone has £3 to spend on a sandwich y'know.

Dustinthewind · 28/01/2012 09:49

Thank him and take the sandwich.

discobeaver · 28/01/2012 09:50

He said he's always wanted a sandwich with rocket and turbot. He won't send it back.

Choked on my tea at 09:50 post Grin

TheBigJessie · 28/01/2012 09:52

Consult Which?, to see if it's a good quality sandwich for the money.

Did he get it anywhere that offered loyalty points? Do you have the potential to deduct 3p from your next shop, as a result of today's purchase?

timetomoveon · 28/01/2012 09:52

I would eat his sandwich for him. Or leave him.

HeidiHole · 28/01/2012 09:54

haha... yes everyone is hugely jealous that someone else had £30k for a car... get over it! There is always such JEALOUSY when someone is doing well!

Cabrinha · 28/01/2012 09:55

To be fair though, bet he said this morning he was going spend about £2.75 on one.
And maybe you should suggest that 25p comes from his personal spends, not the household joint food budget?
Just need to keep your outrage up for a few posts, and then say the rocket sounds nice and you'll probably have a bite!

Depends on the sandwich, do you like it or not

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 28/01/2012 09:56

Right - did he discuss buying a sandwich with you before he did it? Does he have his own pot of money to replace said sandwich money with? Money in a pot you share but he's allowed to do what he wants with, without it affecting your replacing the butter fund?

Acandlelitshadow · 28/01/2012 09:57

Save your fire for now.

He may be planning to finance it from his teapot savings.

Cheeseandbiscuits · 28/01/2012 09:57

Leave the bastard.

Catsmamma · 28/01/2012 09:58

oh come on, you know the op will be back in 15pages to say he was allowed £2.50 for his lunch and found the extra 50p in the glove compartment of his new BMW.

:o

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 28/01/2012 09:58

Heidi - people are not jealous. They just think it's ridiculous drip feeding and thus stealth boasting about how many pots of 30k they have sitting around. Why not just say 'my DH bought a lovely new car today'.

discobeaver · 28/01/2012 10:01

It gets worse. I just looked it up on "Top Sandwich" and it turns out it's an open sandwich! How impractical is that? No good for the children at all - think of the crumbs!

AlbertoFrog · 28/01/2012 10:02

Was it a prawn sandwich?

Hide it under one of the seats of the 30K Beemer and turn the heating on full blast.

That'll teach him.

StealthPolarBear · 28/01/2012 10:05

So he didn't even get two bits of bread for all that money? Leave him - his naivety and lack of common sense speak volumes

ChitChatInChaos · 28/01/2012 10:07

Thread about a thread - not nice.
