Poor DH, looks like his card will be in kit form this year

Foiled!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He'll foil in love with you all over again!

LaceyBetty · 04/02/2021 19:41

The best.

So your plan to send your husband a lovely romantic Valentine's card has been, quite literally, foiled.

WTAF???

Best laugh I've had all day, OP! Love it. Grin Thanks for sharing.

Shame that Sainsbury's ignore customers on Twitter/IG, this is comedy gold and their substitutions have been preposterous for a while.

Brilliant OP & 👏 to all the great replies here too!

Nunoftheother · 04/02/2021 19:49

And if he's found you a really nice V's Day card, yours will be the perfect foil...

Nunoftheother · 04/02/2021 19:50

@GeordieGreigsButtButtZoom - dammit, you beat me to it by two and a half minutes! (So I suppose you could say I've been foiled, too.)

Adiscoveryofbitches · 04/02/2021 20:00

Think this will suffice?

To DH,

Your strength and vigour I adore,
I bow to your dominion.
So, as a token of my love -
This roll of aluminium.

Love and kisses, OP

Adiscoveryofbitches · 04/02/2021 20:02

@Santaiscovidfree I might need a few more rolls 😬

Yes, but you foiled my chance to respond "Foiled!" again since you said you were foiled too, so I guess we're even.

Thank you!

You could try "passion" instead of "vigour"...

@GeordieGreigsButtButtZoom - touché! Grin

This is just amazing 😭😂
1Morewineplease · 04/02/2021 20:19

Brilliant!

Adiscoveryofbitches · 04/02/2021 20:22

After 27 years I think both passion and vigour are pushing it 😂😂 x
