CF husband. Can you beat this?

[MatildaTheCat]

DH has an inbuilt distrust of internet shopping so when I placed my Ocado Christmas order he became very agitated and insisted that all the fresh vegetables be removed as he wished to choose them himself.

OK, I say. If you wish to visit the supermarket on the busiest day of the year to buy exactly the same items that would have been carried straight into our kitchen then who am into argue? Vegetables were removed.

This morning, on his way to the gym he suggested I might like to go to Waitrose this evening to purchase the Christmas fucking vegetables whilst he enjoys a drink at the pub. After he’s finished playing golf.

I have explained in good Anglo Saxon English that this will not be happening. Oh, and it’s his family coming, not mine.

AIBU to suggest he is the CF of the day?

In my experience Ocado are pretty good at deliverying everything on your Christmas order.

"Fuck you and the wonky parsnip you rode in on" would be the only response to that one!!

I feel I must seek an award for the best uncf dh.

Mine has taken 4x dc to buy our Christmas veg today as I am working till 6.
My hero!!
He said the shops were rammed full, cars abandoned at the side of the road even!! Maybe where I live folks thinks Christmas is tomorrow?!

This is great.
If everyone is doing their Christmas shopping today, it means even less people out on Saturday and Sunday!

My DH is currently braving the supermarket as penance for messing up my present.

I carefully selected some things I wanted, everything was sitting in the basket awaiting his card details. Somehow, in between adding his card details and clicking pay he has managed to remove THE ONE FECKING THING I REALLY WANTED. It's not OOS, I checked. He just somehow cocked up the order.

So he gets to go to the supermarket

In fairness I thought Christmas was Sunday until I noticed the date today.

He just messaged me 'sprout wars'

May I suggest you purchase a large marrow? If the exceedingly CF doesn't approve it can be shoved somewhere you may wish to buy painkillers if you are feeling generous

This thread has cheered me up no end.
We are not alone.

Blimey, I don't know where you all live, but I went to the supermarket at 9 o clock today (I'm off shift until tonight). Car park was practically empty, plenty of fresh veg in the shop, only thing they didn't have was garlic, and I've already got plenty.

But obviously quiet North Yorkshire market towns are not THE place to be...

I started my tour of the supermarkets at 7:30 this morning - at which point it was all fairly steady and not too busy.

By 12:30 our Tesco had no veg left - as in absolutely nothing at all, shelves were stripped bare. The roads were rammed, car parks were full and it was like the first day of the sales - people everywhere

I suspect that many people, like me, are trying to get their running round sorted out because it will be even worse on Saturday and Sunday.

The supermarkets where I am - London - aren't particularly busy. I've been to Lidl and Sainsbury's this afternoon and both were fine - certainly no shelves stripped bare!

Ha ha nice one OP

I will be going shopping to the 24hr Tesco @ 2am, to buy the veg. No fecking way am I setting foot in the door during daylight. Reminds me of 24hrs later (Zombie Movie)

Dh went to Tesco at about 7.30 this morning. Said it was quite busy but not unbearable. Got everything on the list.

Having just managed to get a parsnip and some limes, both of which were mysteriously out of stock in Sainsbury's yesterday, I thought I had everything bar the turkey (ordered and will be collected on Sunday morning), but a cursory glance of the wine racks has just revealed that there's probably not enough of either colour.

Which gives me a bit of a dilemma: send DP out tomorrow for more grog, drink spirits or some of the booze (odd things like Madeira, port sherry and a peculiar assortment of liquers) we have in the cupboard or go with him and get wine while he's queuing for the turkey.

Or I could just him over the head with the first empty wine bottle and drink the rest before he comes round. WIBU to do that?

Buy the vegetables and ram them up his arse.

And if the marrow doesn't fit, use horseradish sauce as a lubricant.

I am quite tempted to brave the supermarket at 3.30pm on Sunday and buy up all the yellow-stickered items for 20p and stock the freezer

Do you have a bag of frozen peas in the freezer OP? Always handy at times like this.

@Tinselistacky - "Drive to supermarket.
Select suitable veg, parsnip, aubergine, large carrot, leek,
Return home and shove them up his arse."

I was not expecting your last line to be as it is!

My Tesco delivery is scheduled for Saturday evening. If it’s missing bits, I will be miserably trudging to Waitrose. It had better not be though!

Please update OP I'm totally over invested!

Zaphodsotherhead (love that name) here in manchester i went at 9.30am to beat the rush. It was fucking mental. I couldnt get a space so left without getting marzipan that i badly needed. Went home found last year left over marzipan (bbe nov17) and did my cake in that.

Its sodding ridiculous round here. You cant get in the car parks and yes they sell out of lots of foods.

Also sent dh to buy sausage rolls for my friends party, from aldi whilst i got ds his prescription. There was only cranbury sauce and pork filled ones left. 🤢

He is CF extraordinaire!
