to be pissed of that DH bought eye wateringly expensive chocolate

[wakemeupnow]

Dh bought some chocolates today. There were 14 little chocolate covered orange strips in the packet for 10 pounds

I have been being so careful with our finances lately. I have denied myself and Dc's, making a reall effort to cut back on our spending.

I don't even like the ones he chose

Crikey. Were they a gift or just because? If just because YANBU. Hasn't he ever heard of Galaxy?

10 pounds?! Is it laced with cocaine?

They were a gift to himself.

^^ If it is can I have some??!

Did he buy them for you or for a treat for himself or just to share?

There was clearly some thought process behind a purchase like that. More likely to have been "wakemeupnow would like some nice chocolate" than "I know, if I spend a tenner we don't have on chocolate that'll show her!"

Its annoying. I would be annoyed at the waste of money. But I would keep it inside.

That was at Pianodoodle, sorry. For himself? YANBU to be cross. I think a rather nice bottle of for you which you don't have to share with him might be in order...

sorry cross post.

Ah well if a gift for himself then rather extravagent but would you be as annoyed if he'd gone out and bought a CD?

Ooh, where did he buy them? I going to guess in London N1.

I was all ready to say YABU, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, what a sweetie etc, then I read he bought them for himself.

What a WANKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

He's not normally so extravagant . He's just got back from 3 weeks work in far off exotic places whilst I have been here with 3 dc and half term...

Is he the kind of person who hardly buys himself anything? My DP is like this, barely spends a penny on himself, so when he does decide to spend £100 on a collectors edition of a video game, I just calmly remind myself that 'it's his money, he can treat himself once in a while.' I definitely spend more on myself.

If he does this all the time then YANBU. But if he is otherwise frugal cut him some slack, it's just a wee luxury

Shame, he can't even take them back

Not sure why I am so pissed off .. guess I am just that he gets to travel and do interesting things whilst I've been trying to entertain kids without spending money here.

It depends a bit on how much he relishes the chocolates. I would eat them in about .02 seconds which would be very wasteful but if he really enjoys them then that is a lot less wasteful. IYSWIM

I think the kids have scoffed them now.. I refused to even sample one ...oh when did I become such a moody stingy bitch

Did he get them from the airport ?

thanks for the lessons < pours self very big glass>

Hotel Chocolat? I buy myself a tiny treat there every so often to cheer myself up.

If the worst thing your DH does is occasionally blow £10 on fancy chocolate, things aren't so bad. YABU.

What a disgusting choice of chocolate! He could have at least bought something to share with everyone. Did he get you anything from his trip away?
Yanbu

You HAVE to tell us where they're from now! Stop avoiding the question!

We popped into town to somewhere and he saw the chocolate shop.. He is a bit of a choc addict.

yeuk!! ASDA basics chocolate is the nicest I have ever tasted. Thorntons is horrible.

it's 30 p for a huge bar and that leaves lots more for wine!!

your dh is a wastral..

It was a very posh French one. Each individual chocolate costs a fortune ...A box of chocolates could bankrupt you

What a twattish thing to do. I'd be

I see I am gonna have to treat myself to something equally extravagant now just to make it seem fair and it wont be chocolate covered marmalade.
