to be pissed off that DH just had a go at me for 'wasting £2 on a "posh" newspaper'....

when he's just come back from a weekend jolly with his mates in Manchester (we live in Cornwall). While he was away i did the usual 'wifey' things (cooking, cleaning, blah blah) and also had to go to one of his work dos (with DD) to 'represent the family'. By the time he came back, i'd almost finished cooking the Sunday roast. He then spotted the newspaper, said that i (me) hardly read any of it anyway, just looked at the pictures (!), then he buggered off upstairs. He'd obviously then stewed on it so much that by the time i gave him his dinner, he'd lost his appetite! He ate about 2 spoonfuls! That's what i call a waste. And it was only a small bloody chicken cos i'm not allowed to waste money on a bird that's had a half decent life!!!!
Sorry for the RANT...

A posh newspaper?

Was it the Telegraph?

Would it have been OK if it had been a common one?

Down tools next weekend and go away on a girly jolly with your mates...

he sounds just like my dp did when he was having a grump! tbh, i have learnt just to let him get onwith it because then ig et uspet and p'd off with myself for being upset etc etc.

could you have served up his "cold" dinner as his supper?

fransmom · 12/08/2007 21:45

He used to think it hilarious that i bought the Mirror cos it's 'for chavs'! I can't win.

Anyway, i made his sarnies for tomorrow and added a little something 'extra'..been feeling quite phlegmy recently!!!

We DO love each other really

What an idiot! Your dh must have spent far more money on his weekend's entertainment. Your £2 sounds like you are very low-maintenance indeed. He should be bl**dy grateful that you are there manning the fort so he can go off on his jolly, not criticising your choice of reading matter fgs.

That is what I call a vicious hangover. TBH
