My husband just rung me to say he's spent 40p on a Mars Bar

[TheRhubarb]

How reckless! Does he not know we are in a recession ffs?

Slice up the mars bar and freeze it. Enough for everyone.

Or slice up his bits?

As he is clearly lying about it being a mars bar you should leave the deceitful bastard immediately. Or maybe you could find a support group for the spouses of lying chocoholics.

Oooh, you are drip feeding now. £1.20 in Tesco you say? The lying bastard. Why didn't you mention this in your OP? It makes all the difference. Definitely leave the bastard.

Sob. I honestly didn't know about the £1.20 - honest!
Ok, I admit, he did mention about a mars bar before he left the house and we did just happen to have 40p spare after going through the children's pockets but how could he have done this without consulting me????

What if it was an out of date Mars bar? How embarrassing!
If he acts this impulsive now, who knows what he will do tomorrow!

You're just showing off that you had 40p

I suggest you retaliate and go out for a box of Thorntons.

Stealth boast.

Blatantly.

But, giving you the benefit of the doubt, could you not recommend a Curly Wurly purchase in future? They are 20p at our local shop and have far fewer calories. The toffee also ensures a longer consumption experience.

I'm busy gathering his clothes to put in bin liners.

Or shall I just burn them on the lawn? Not that we have a lawn, that would be too posh. Shall I burn them on the scruffy weed patch outside our front door?

Will he share the marsbar with you ?

Or maybe he bought you 2 cl of Guinness.

A mars bar is such an obvious choice isn't it? Gauche.

NO don't burn them, you have to do a car boot & try to recoup the money. Wont anyone think of the children??

I knew someone would accuse me of boasting, it's hardly MY fault that we don't blow our budget on cider and fags is it? Perhaps if all those working class people worked a bit harder and stopped eating takeaways they too might have the odd 40p lying around.

FFS, Mumsnet is just a haven of witches atm.

nope.

no 40 p laying around unaccounted for.

However, we run a shelter for homeless foreign coins, so for all we know, that ancient indian stone coin laying in the corner could be worth a fortune. Maybe I can go buy a marsbar, or a bmw for it.

How have you all missed wormshuffler works for mars as a sales rep think I all the freebies - I think we should kidnap her and hold her to ransom

Oh and leave the fucker

You can get four meals from a Mars bar.

Including a curry and a lovely soup. Om nom nom (sorry)

I come on here, looking for advice and all I get is rude and unhelpful replies. Would it have killed you to just offer me the advice I was looking for? What happened to being nice? If I had wanted rudeness I would have ASKED for it.

Geez. I'm never coming back here again!

Obviously you must now spend 40p on chocolate, or you will be in an unequal marriage.

I'm on ml mrssnap, down to my last large galaxy caramel. I will be more kidnapable in a few months.
He's definitely faking it as mars bars a rarely found in shops out of date.

We buy our own bars of chocolate without consulting... I don't even tell DH whether I'm getting a milky way or a snickers. I'm totally living on the edge...

Rhubarb - you have to understand most of us are surviving on penny chews and supermarket own-brand confectionary at the moment.

I apologise for accusing you of stealth boasting but you can see why your post made me so ?

Did he even share it?

Well that's hardly MY fault is it? Snot MY fault that we work harder than you and therefore earn more money than you. If you pulled yer finger out you too might earn enough to spend 40p on a random chocolate bar.

Bloody working classes, that's a contradiction innit eh?

Send em all packing up Norf where they all came from.

Ooops, the clothes fire appears to have set fire to the front door.....

I can't believe you are all blaming the husband. Poor man. Typical mumsnet man-bashing. I put the blame squarely at the OP's feet. She obviously doesn't feed her man adequately if he has to go looking for nourishment elsewhere. Disgraceful.

How very dare you! I bet you're a troll bloke aren't you?
I fed him a peanut last night so you're wrong there you judging sarky poohead.
Yeah that's right, report my post because I called you a poohead, well I stand by my comment so there!
