... about the cheese on toast?

[albertatrilogy]

I'll in bed. Problem compounded by tiredness and husband having woken me twice last night by loud weird choking coughs, after which I couldn't get back to sleep. (He's not I'll. Not sure what coughing was about.) I was working yesterday and will be working the next five days. He's retired. So because I'm so shattered I retreated to bed this morning and said l didn't feel up to coming down for lunch. When he offered to bring me something, I asked for a toasted cheese sandwich. ( We have a machine for doing toasties.) After ten minutes he game back with a plate that had two very greasy slices of cheese on toast on it. No knife and fork or paper napkin, so not really possible to eat in bed. So do I leave the bastard?

Are you too ill to pop to the loo to get some bog roll to wipe your hands on before eating, but not too ill to eat cheese on toast or mumsnet?

I agree with you, OP. I cannot bear to eat food with my fingers, apart from biscuits, ordinary toast, sandwiches or maybe a piece of cake, but to eat greasy cheese on toast without cutlery is not for me! And before anyone says anything, yes I do use cutlery for a burger!

I eat absolutely all my food with my hands except rice and curry

It’s miserable when you’re ill and you have someone there and they’re not looking after you! I bet OP would look after her dozy husband.

How do you eat cheese on toast without cutlery?! It's so greasy I couldn't cope eating with my hands.

YANBU LTB and put a post on your towns Facebook page about it so all other women are warned

@Embarrassedmumx - how do you eat meat and potatoes and vegetables?

I wouldn't have expected a knife and fork, but if I had asked for a toastie from a toastie maker and received toast and cheese, I would probably have chucked the plate off his head.

I think I know what you're getting at op. When we always think of everything so our other halves are comfortable and well fed, it's annoying they don't return the favour. DH will make me a snack from his limited repetoire if I am off colour but invariably the cup of tea won't arrive at the same time as the sandwich. It's half assed and that's what hurts or annoys.

I am a degenerate, I put Worcestershire sauce AND marmite on cheese on toast.

I don't do anything as revolting as eating in bed...

Next time, get up. Make the toastie properly, eat said toastie, go back to bed. It reinforces your suffering to the evil monster who obviously dribbled a bit (hope you have pillow protectors) on his side, then turned onto his back and choked whilst asleep.

Tell him you want a divorce ASAP!!!

Greasy cheese ? No knife , no fork , not even a napkin ? Good God , leave the bastard

You could always send him a text to bring you up some cutlery, a napkin and a selection of mustards.

I've bought a bento box specifically to use when I'm poorly in bed.

Well, this thread has been a revelation! I have never even considered eating cheese on toast other than with a knife and fork, and had no idea it was something people did. I eat cheese toasties that way too.

You’re pissed off with your husband for waking you up coughing...?

You’re lucky you don’t sleep next to me OP. I farted so loudly last night that I woke up my co-sleeping toddler. Luckily, she’s more forgiving than you and doesn’t care how I serve her cheese on toast.

No cheese on toast is complete without HP sauce.

Cheese toasties are for wimps.

I know you guys are arguing over Worcester sauce.

But what about - dare I say it - MARMITE!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Eating cheese on toast with a knife and fork?
WhatEver kind of fancy living tomfoolery is this?

The cheese:bread ratio is far better with cheese on toast, so you got an upgrade. You are a very lucky woman!

Can we all just pause for a moment and reflect on this snippet from the OP’s update have made do with just tea for now
For the love of God OP, someone’s bought you cheese on toast and you did not eat it. You are beyond help. I have just eaten a huge roast lunch but if someone bought me cheese on toast I would eat it immediately- whether or not it had sauce, cutlery or a napkin with it.
Who rejects cheese on toast? And, more importantly, how? Where do you get the strength?

I don't believe this post is genuine. Someone who would eat toast with a knife and fork (and napkin) would NO WAY eat in bed!

Slightly off thread topic but the boss eating a doughnut with a knife and fork reminded me of the time I went out for breakfast with a ONS and he ate a croissant with a knife and fork. It was an that moment that I knew one night was all it would ever be.
