Apparently I'm a bad mum? Blush

YANBU, I purposefully buy myself the odd thing I know my household hates, just so I know if I fancy a treat I won't go to the fridge/freezer/cupboard and find a packet with nothing inside but disappointment.

Dinosaursgoboo · 01/12/2016 21:54

YADNBU. Sadly my family like anything with sugar in.

Hellmouth · 01/12/2016 21:56

Almond magnums are the best, your family is BU for not liking them :D

YANBU!

SabineUndine · 01/12/2016 21:57

Well, you DO realise you'll have to eat them all yourself?

maggienolia · 01/12/2016 22:12

Can I have one?

YADNBU

I wish no one else in my house liked magnum almonds. Then I wouldn't have to hide them under the veg in the freezer Grin

I do this with Reece's cups ... then my son "decided" he liked them after hating them for years Xmas Angry

Biffsboys · 01/12/2016 22:33

Thanks for the support Smile Told them it was an accident - I thought I was buying the original ones Grin

Easy mistake to make... Grin

Well done, good move! They are everyone'scfavourite here, sadly, so no chance of copying your excellent idea.

kilmuir · 01/12/2016 23:04

Love your thinking. Enjoy

Biffsboys · 01/12/2016 23:12

I also sometimes (by accident) buy macaroon bars Blush

Oh I reckon someone who likes a regular magnum could somehow choke down an almond one.

Almond ones are the best though.

Wookiecookies · 01/12/2016 23:14

Haha! I accidentally buy things too... peanut butter magnums and cheesecake are one of mine.... they all hate them! Grin

Such a terrible shame Wink

Biffsboys · 01/12/2016 23:15

Oh not in my house - any kind of nut is the devils work
Thankfully !

Biffsboys, I like your style 😃

llangennith · 01/12/2016 23:57

My mother used to put a pack of sticky dates (yuck yuck yuck ) in our Xmas stockings every year and every year when we complained that Father Xmas had given us the bloody things again she'd say, in a very surprised voice, "oooh don't you like them? I love them". Huh!

Almond magnums....mmmmmmmm

Sticky dates, stuffed with a pecan or walnut covered in gorgonzola.... mmmm....

Cheesecake...mmmmmmmm....

Reece's peanut butter cups.....

This thread is a terrible influence!

Biffsboys · 02/12/2016 00:45

Oops just remembered- pickled onion crisps ! Again total accident, should have been salt and vinegar Grin

That is the reason I buy the peanut butter magnums so therefore YANBU

Willow2016 · 02/12/2016 12:32

Anything with almonds in it is mine in this house! Hell even my local cafe nero ask if I want an almond croissant with my coffee when I go in Xmas Smile (although right now I am obsessing over their gingerbread cream filled muffins, pure heaven!)

Thankfully my kids dont really like the taste except in bakewell tarts!

I always get an almond magnum for myself and get the kids one they like so I know it will still be there and not nicked by the next day!

Biffsboys · 06/12/2016 00:18

So tonight ds1 decides he likes almond magnums Hmm found half of it in the bin ! What else can I get that dc will hate ? Grin
