To change the locks before my husband gets home?

[checkingforballoons]

My head’s all over the place. I’ll try to keep it brief.
We had a lovely day yesterday - lots of family time, big roast dinner. I made a delicious crumble. DH and I had a bowl each with some ice cream and there was a decent portion left. I covered it over and went to bed.
I’ve got loads of dull work to do from home today but cheered myself up with the thought of a mid morning coffee and the leftover crumble. Got myself a bowl, uncovered the crumble dish and my world fell apart. It was EMPTY. He’s eaten the leftover crumble AND covered it up again.
I just didn’t see this coming. He’s eaten the last Hobnob or something when we were younger but I thought he’d changed.
Has anyone been through similar and managed to make things work?

I nearly disowned one of my sons, when he ate some leftovers he shouldn't have. The Great Cold Roast Goose episode gets mentioned every Christmas now!

I had a Plan for the meals over Christmas - roast goose on Christmas Day, cold gammon and baked potatoes on Boxing Day, and then, on the 27th, the left over goose, shredded and cooked until dark and sticky in a marinade of honey, soy sauce and five-spice.

But when I went to the fridge to get out the left over roast goose, for supper on the 27th, half of it was GONE!! Turned out that ds2 had decided he'd like a cold roast goose sandwich for his lunch, and had eaten half of the leftovers!!!

I am (somewhat) ashamed to say that I lost it completely - snot, tears, shouting (I think the stress of planning Christmas and doing all the cooking got to me). There was plenty of other food in the house - dh did cold gammon and goose and salad for supper - but I was inconsolable because my Plan had been ruined - ruined, I tell you.

Dh had to ply me with gin to calm me down!

I suppose I should be grateful that ds2 didn't blame the dog, like @IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere's dh did.

SDT thank you I laughed so much. Sounds like you have a good man there.

You need a lock on your fridge, pantry and any other food receptacle the OH knows the location of. You were sort of asking for it.

Bekstar you evil genius!

Have you called a solicitor? They can offer you a free 30 minutes consultation on this sort of thing.

I'm pretty sure they still ask for their just deserts.

He needs sorting right now.
You need to be making him a “special” crumble!
Lemons instead of apple, sand in place of sugar, and mashed potatoes can be made to look like Ice cream!!
Next time you make a crumble and there’s some leftover put the dummy one in the fridge and hide the real one. After he’s “enjoyed” his, get your real one and eat it in front of him.
Serves the barstard right!
Mwaaahaaahaaaa🤣

Talk about "making memories"

Why didn’t you get off your lazy chocolate filled ass and go buy your own then instead of eating mine??

Presumably he's too lardy to waddle to the corner shop.

You guys are men-haters. I think he sounds lovely. I think you’re all just jealous because your husbands don’t like your crumbles enough to steal them.

Oh thank you for this thread, just what I needed to end my day with. You are all brilliant.

(We only have rhubarb crumble here and we have it with cream not custard or ice cream. The DSs have hollow legs so cannot be trusted around food.)
