I came home from work about 10 minutes ago to a note from my DH on the fridge (where we leave need milk notes) saying 'we've run out of the bumpy shampoo can you get more? Xx'

We don't own 'bumpy shampoo ' I went up stairs to find in the bathroom bin the bottle of Jo Malone lime basil and mandarin shower exfoliating gel...

He's used the whole fucking thing in just over a month!! I was saving it for when I wanted a hot bath or long shower after a hard day at my new job! I hadn't even used it yet !

Aibu to Insist it's replaced? He's a fucking heathen who usually washes his whole body with head and shoulders. It was totally wasted on him 😭

Order my re on the joint account?

Henryismyfriend · 08/11/2018 22:16

When I first met DH, he stayed over at mine and had a wash before coming to bed. When I kissed him he face smelt very distinctive. It took me a few seconds to place the smell. It was femfresh!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 08/11/2018 22:25

Totally missing the point of the thread but fuck me, £32 for a bottle of shower gel that does exactly the same job as any other bottle of shower gel? Are you all insane? Grin

NewYoiker · 08/11/2018 22:28

To those asking why I didn't notice how nice he smells.. I don't know a shower gel that smells good for 13 + hours! 😂 I get up at 5, have a shower (boring not really very scented stuff for work), leave the house at 6 and get home at 7ish, he gets up at 6.30, leaves for work at 8.30 and gets home at 6. 30 usually.

He was gutted when I told him how much it cost. We don't really have the funds at the moment to replace it. I mean we have money but not really £35 on a shower gel money!

OMG you have married a Neanderthal. Either LTB immediately or get the fucker to commit to buying it forever more.

My mum stayed with me once and I realised after several days that she'd been using my solid shampoo bar as soap in the shower. 

Also once caught exDH drying a pair of damp socks with my beloved Parlux blow dryer. This was back in the days when they were very expensive and mainly only hairdressers had them (at least where I live). He really didn't get when I explained "But it's a PARLUX!" 

gladstonefive · 09/11/2018 03:43

Honestly OP the ALDI shoes are great and this is coming from a Jo Malone obsessive- if I knew how to add a pic, I’d show you my rather embarrassingly large collection Blush

DH is made up because he’s going to save a fortune this Xmas —so he thinks—

Jellycatspyjamas · 09/11/2018 04:20

But he still made the choice to get it out of the cupboard and put it back!
Where did you get a DH that puts things back please? I ordered one of those and 25 years later still have to “remind” him to put things away after using.

Your DH putting something away immediately absolves him from any JM fuelled retribution in my book.

MrsTerryPratcett · 09/11/2018 04:24

If you didn't notice how glowing his skin was, it really isn't worth the money.

I had a friend whose tan faded really quickly after a holiday. Turns out he had been using the Vanish whitening bar for clothes as soap for a week. Idiot.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 09/11/2018 05:07

I'd consider replacing it with Immac... Grin

No not really but I would be very cross at the enormous waste of an expensive toiletry.
Buy him some cheap crap if he doesn't even notice the difference, one with a hook on the bottle so it can just be hung on the shower all the time (he's less likely to go looking for a different one if there's one to hand).

And yes, I hope he bloody well does replace it! Then hide it. Somewhere he'll never look.

maddiemookins16mum · 09/11/2018 05:42

I will never be able to call any kind of exfoliating body wash/gel anything other that bumpy from this day forth. 😂😂

veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet..imaaaaaaaaaaaaac

GertrudeCB · 09/11/2018 06:25

😂 This reminds me of when my ddad suddenly developed greasy hair and itch scalp - turns out he was washing his hair in Fenjal bubble bath. Dmum not impressed 😁

MargotLovedTom1 · 09/11/2018 07:35

Does he not have a shower at the weekend then? Wink Ok I'm being a nob. It's annoying for you and a mistake I'm sure he won't make again!

KeiTeNgeNge · 09/11/2018 07:42

He can enjoy the super drug replacement maybe, and buy you a proper replacement when feasible :(

BitOutOfPractice · 09/11/2018 07:57

My friend's DH complained that the moist toilet bottom wiping wipe things were a bit stingy on his arse. He was using Jiff wipes 

loubluee · 09/11/2018 08:30

Ds14 had a shower a few weeks ago, walked to the living room door wrapped in a towel and said ‘I’ve finished in the bathroom’. Walks off, and I can smell him and my heart sunk. So I shouted and asked him what shower gel had he used, he came back in holding my Jo Malone shower gel, that had arrived that day. He said ‘it was in the bathroom so I guessed it was for us all to use as you usually keep it on your dressing table’. There was a third left in the bottle.....

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 09/11/2018 09:18

Bitoutof - so he had a nicely bleached bumhole then! Grin

BitOutOfPractice · 09/11/2018 09:31

ThumbWitches it was a lemon fresh bum hole!

Reminds me of my mum - she wanted a moisturiser when I was staying with her but instead of using my moisturiser (a couple of quid from the supermarket), she used my eye cream (about £40 for a tiny tube) all over her face as she “didn’t want to use up my nice moisturiser”. Gah!!

ROAR! Grin

WhingyNinja · 09/11/2018 10:21

Bumpy shampoo!! Bless him Grin

Bluelady · 09/11/2018 11:35

How on earth can anyone use 2/3 of a bottle of shower gel in one shower? My Liberty 500ml one is used daily and there's half left two months after I started it.

RiverTam · 09/11/2018 11:38

I'm baffled as to how you couldn't have know her was using it, does he have his own bathroom? Or did he hid it?

However, I'd be interested in what those 'bumps' are, because if they are plastic microbeads then you are being VU in wanting anything with those little bastards in it.
