AIBU to spend £15 on cheese, olives and stuffed peppers?

[PavlovtheCat]

to cheer me up as I am fed up?

Ooh get some of those giant olives that are stuffed with feta cheese. Yum!

do you mean those little slightly hot peppers with feta in them? Can i come? I'll bring a picnic blanket and some really cold, dry white wine

*trixie yes those are the ones, but these ones have goats cheese in them...

squeaky i know I don't have to, but, I have! (well, in theory, as I have not 'checked out' yet)

I guess, really, i should get white wine, but sainsbury's house pinot noir is surprisingly drinkable at £4.49 a bottle so i can get two

Hell yes! Get some pate and wine in while you're at it. Yum!

I don;t actually like pate. But, DH does, so I might be nice and get him some. But, that will add to the cost. So, maybe I wont

Erm, OK MrsTerry, if you say so

Get whatever wine you fancy, bugger the "rules".

ok. Ordered:

a jar of hot mini stuffed peppers with goats cheese
1 tub of garlic stuffed olives
1 jar of chargrilled artichokes (i put some olives back, thanks suzi!)
1 pot of St Agur creamy (my Current Favourite)
1 chunk of cornish brie (for DH)
1 chunk of port salut
1 large trifle

Plus my normal shop.

I then used a voucher code for £15 off woohoo! I did not even know I would get that much off (had £12 off code from MN, but found another one online) and, lo that is what I spent, approx, on Food To Make Me Feel Good - bonus!

so, now it is too late for it to be unreasonable, as it is Done.

zuki not always my idea of treat food, but as I did the shopping list, i realised, that is exactly what I want, and need to lift my spirits. i really don't fancy any chocolate, or cake, or sweet stuff. I am not entirely sure I fancy the wine but bought it in case i change my mind but definitely wanting savoury 'carpet picnic' food (love that expression, don't care whose it belongs to, I have now stolen it)

I am currently on my sofa surrounded by pâté, oatcakes, sunblushed tomatoes, olives, peppers and wine, dh is away and I am felling rather sorry for myself so actually made an emergency dash out for these

Yanbu, there are much worse ways to spend money than on good food. Hope you really enjoy!

missmalteser good call! enjoy.

My dinner consisted of a bowl of chocolate blancmange to make me feel better, so YANBU. But I fancy olives now

ooooh i haven't had that for years!

i have not had dinner. well i nicked a few home made chips from the children's plates and ate a couple of grapes. Oh and earlier I had two chocolate chip cookies.

I am not hungry really. But, if I had the things I ordered right now, I could become hungry

YABU because you didn't get those stuffed vine leaves.

mmmm, I'm well jealous!

zukie oh no, maybe you are, actually sick? keep an eye, not wanting to eat even you most favourite thing in the whole world is Not Good.

Right, I am off to bed to dream about 10am tomorrow when dh unpacks the shopping while I go out

Are you feeling low Zukie?

Yum, definitely NU.

I spent similar in Morrisons this morning on stuff to get me through today at work:

Chicken and mushroom pate
Cheese oatcakes
Fresh melon chunks
Cashew nuts
Bourbon biscuits

And a new mug for my tea that says 'when in doubt, make tea' on it.

Yes, thought so. Eating anything is better than nothing, a little bit of what you fancy does you good! Good luck with the tests. Could you tempt yourself with anything?
