AIBU?

The school fete can fuck the fuck off

30 replies

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 20/09/2013 20:55

DH is Mr School Fete this year apparently. He's organising 95% of it which apparently means I have to now make 50 mini pizzas.

I've just had a bottle of wine and a Thai meal. All I'm fit for is some sofa and TV.

I've worked 60 hours this week, my feet hurt and I am a little bit drunk

School fete can fuck the fuck off.

Sounds weird. The older children run the stalls at our school fete and have to do whatever is on their stall from Splat the Rat, to doing nails to selling home baked cakes to coconut shys etc. The parents/teachers don't have to do anything other than stand behind the screens with holes in them for wet sponging and supervising the oldest kids doing the BBQ. Surely Pizzas should be served hot?

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 21/09/2013 18:33

Acrylic, I am not famed for my mini-pizzas, I am in fact famed for my stunning beauty, sharp intellect and world-class ability to hold my liquor two of those are lies

In fairness he does 90% of the cooking normally. He was running around like a blue arsed fly this morning getting everything else done.

They weren't too much hassle to make, I did heart shaped ones and they sold out faster than most of the other stuff [smug emoticon]

School fetes are the seventh circle of hell though - bouncy castle injuries, tombola tat, ragged second hand uniform sales and lukewarm tea. Not my idea of a fun Saturday.

You are a very nice person.:) Are you famed for your mini-pizzas?

I just googled twatweevil and all the mumsnet ones are me under a previous username... I seem to recall using an even ruder word ending in weevil a few times too!

DalePie · 21/09/2013 10:59

If he is Mr school fete then shouldn't he do the cooking?

Sounds like as the woman, he's expecting you to cook? -_-

Have your Thai meal and tell him to do it, if he's daft enough to take on some stupid school then they he should face the consequences.

PoppyWearer · 21/09/2013 10:41

NooooOOOOoooOoooooOOOOOooo!

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 21/09/2013 09:00

Fuck it I've caved. 9 down and 41 of the little fuckers left still to do.

FryOneFatManic · 21/09/2013 04:46

I'm up because I have a stinking cold and can't sleep. And I think Twatweevil is an awesome word.

Agree with Iceland and mini pizzas. DP knows never to volunteer me for things, just as I wouldn't volunteer him. I can do my own volunteering, thank you very much.

PresidentServalan · 20/09/2013 23:19

I think Acrylic is awesome on the basis of Twatweevil ! I can't wait to try it out in RL!

PresidentServalan · 20/09/2013 23:17

Mydelilah You see, you forgot the first rule of MN - NEVER GOOGLE!!!

I now feel really awful if you googled it from my post!

and for you....

PoppyWearer · 20/09/2013 23:07

Twatweevil is an amazing new insult.

Mydelilah · 20/09/2013 23:07

My eyes! Couldn't stop myself from googling trypophobia. (Shudder)

NoComet · 20/09/2013 23:05

YANBU
We have the opposite problem in our house. I have to try very hard not to volunteer DH for PTA stuff or I get "the school fair can Fuck off!"

Except he doesn't swear, it would be better if he did. He just grumps.

PresidentServalan · 20/09/2013 23:00

Do we have to pay a royalty to Acrylic for using it?

And I didn't google it for the simple reason that I have googled MN terms before... Still haven't recovered from trypopophobia some of those experiences

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 20/09/2013 22:09

BTW if you google Twatweevil, 7 of the first 10 results are from Mumsnet. Acrylic, have you contributed a word to the OED?

OP posts:

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 20/09/2013 22:05

our fete is apparently always in September. Summer fetes are so common dontcha know!

Yes, it's tomorrow. I will relent and get up early to go to Iceland bake pizzas.

OP posts:

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 20/09/2013 22:03

Acrylic, those PTA floozies just fluttered their eyeballs at him and he agreed to everything.

The car has been out of action for a week, full of tombola shite. I've been taking the bus for the last five days for the good of the fete.

He's downstairs now, working out the rules for the "win a barrel of beer by throwing something somewhere" game.

Apparently I am not getting into the spirit of it. I'm sorry, unless the spirit is gin, I'm not getting into it tonight .

LovesBeingOnHoliday · 20/09/2013 22:01

Is it tomorrow?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 20/09/2013 22:00

Fetes are in the summer!

Stop belly aching you've got plenty of time.

Use English muffuns though, if you do relent.

Acrylic LOVE twatweevil!

Oh and when he goes to Iceland to get the pizza, tell him to bring you back some more !

AcrylicPlexiglass · 20/09/2013 21:09

He's not a soft touch! He just thinks you are a soft touch. He didn't get lumbered, remember- he volunteered you to get lumbered!

Agree that sending him to Iceland is a genius idea. Just make sure he goes, not you!

Iceland. Genius idea.

He is a soft touch. Volunteered for x and got lumbered with x,y and z.

The sofa is my domain tonight, not the kitchen

OP posts:

ClaraOswald · 20/09/2013 21:00

He volunteered his services or yours?

If he is organising it HE now has 50 mini pizzas to make.

littlewhitebag · 20/09/2013 20:59

I agree. Tell DH to fuck the fuck off...then fuck off some more. Then breathe........

DO NOT make any pizza's.
