To want to go to Markies for picky bits

[Agirlnamedsam]

I’ve not been in a shop since the beginning of December. Been wfh and only been out to go to the park with DS or go for a walk.

We have been using Tesco click and collect, but I want to go to Markies and get some picky bits / afternoon tea for lunch tomorrow.

DH thinks I’m being a bit silly as it’s not necessary travel: and that we should be avoiding shops. He’s happy for us to get something delivered or to collect something. But I’m just a bit fed up and want to go and select some nice bits and pieces.

Markies?

I didn't mention the 'picky bits' because I wondered if it was a regional thing.

Perhaps not!

Em... no... it’s not a wind up. But, I’ll take it on the chin seeing as I posted in aibu

🤢🤢🤢

@FortunesFave beat me to it!

aww you are a bit fed up....yes go and put more stress on the staff who are in close contact with hundreds each day....go on, one more won't hurt and i mean, PICKY BITS!??? (WTF??)

It’s food so it’s essential.
Grab a bottle of plonk to go with the lucky bits and you’ve got an indoor picnic

What’s wrong with saying Markies?! It must be a regional thing as I’ve heard loads of people refer to it as Markies

I think OP may mean 'Marks and Spencer'...possibly?

Do it. Markies is the best for picky bits. So I totally get where you are coming from. Expect mumsnet wrath tho.

Everleigh yes

What's Markies?

Are you Scottish OP?

I've lived in 3 regions, neother said Markies😂 Maccies, yeah. Markies? God no😂 where are you?

Don't really understand the confusion, pretty obvious what the OP meant.

I'd say go for it OP, it's food you're going for and that's allowed, enjoy!

You can go to Markies OP. Today, tomorrow.

At Chrimbo. And when on Holibobs.

Just don't drink too much pop. All that sugar will have you running amok on the internet.

Could be worse I overheard my dh finishing up a work call with the words okey doodles.

totally selfish, as are the mums netters who encourage this

op gets her shopping delivered,,this is not essential travel

I think it's safe to say you are being unreasonable on every level with this post.

Before you go, you should dance like nobody is watching.

Because they really aren't, they're checking their phones.

Unrelated but I’ve always called it Markies . Up until I was 18 or 19 I think I thought that was it’s proper name !

Lou Oh it's not confusion! It's disgust! Lighthearted disgust but nonetheless....
