notalisa. Think i spelt your name wrong ... But of course honeymoon would be in a cheap chocolafe environment. Definitely a no to luxury fortnight on the Med, etc.

Why did he even have 40p. Get a divorce petition issued quickly and insist on all assets being evenly split especially the mars bar. Appalling behaviour - 3 counts of unreasonable behaviour

count 1 he kept 40p from you and your family during a recession

count 2 he spent it on a mars bar without consulting you abut how it should be spent

count 3 he wasted yet more money and inflicted emotional trauma on you by ringing up to taunt you about his having a mars bar when you did not

Any good divorce lawyer should take him to the cleaners

Aaaaahh, way back when, York would have been the ideal honeymoon destination. Lovely town, Betty's Tea Shop and the Rowntrees Factory (my sister used to get mis-shape bags of Black Magic when she lived in York)

Add the lovely Architecture, the shops and The Hog Roast Shop- well who can ask for more?

(and yep- spelled wrong) Grin

noyouhavehadawee · 28/01/2012 18:11

My bastard DP has bought himself a multipack of mini eggs and quite frankly I'm devastated.

Did you have various pots of money? Which pot was it?

cambridgeferret · 28/01/2012 22:06

If DH bought a Mars bar he could have kept it. Toffee gets stuck in my teeth.
A Galaxy cookie ar would have been a lot more serious though. :)

Well as a result of the contraband Mars Bar I set fire to his clothes, which then set the front door on fire and burnt the house. Therefore due to his stupidity we are now living in several wine boxes and finishing off the dead badger which I had the good sense to bury in the garden whilst the fire was raging.

I searched his pockets when he came in and found more evidence of his spending spree including a chewing gum wrapper (that's not even food!) and several foreign coins which is proof that he is cheating on me with a French floozy.

I aim to take him for half the cardboard house. I'll make him regret he ever so much as looked at a Mars Bar in that way....

as long as it came from the specified chocolate pot and not the useless tat pot...or did the swine spend your useless tat pot on chocolate?!

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 30/01/2012 10:35

He was ripped off. Tesco is selling 5 for £1
