To be so annoyed he ate all the Penguins

I am livid.
We have a tin of chocolate biscuits in the cupboard. It was full of Penguins, some of which were the cheaper Aldi ‘Seal’ alternative, okay but not has good. DH has eaten all the penguins and left me with only the sub par Seal bars. Absolute prick, I’m thinking LTB.

P-p-p-p-pack up his things.

Controversially, I prefer the seal bars to penguins!

Me too!

Everydayimhuffling · 09/04/2024 19:59

@whyismysoupcold omg that ACTUALLY would make me feel murderous! He THREW them AWAY!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 09/04/2024 19:59

Dh keeps buying packs of Penguins when he knows I’m not mad keen. I want KitKats! Though having said that, last time I bought a big pack of the 4 finger jobs, I’d eaten them all in 24 hours.
So maybe it’s just as well he sticks to Penguins.

Noyesnoyes · 09/04/2024 20:06

@Popadomorbread I'll give you an alibi!

New patio?

Definitely old enough to get the reference!
Less Peckish and more P..P..P..Plonker!!

My condolences, I assume you'll be planning the funeral through next week?

Why does he deserve a funeral?

It can't be that long till bin day and the weather's not that hot.

reallyworriedjobhunter · 09/04/2024 20:14

Sainsbury's Polar bars, their pretend Penguins, are really quite good.

@MeDaughterMerope wins again!!!!!

coxesorangepippin · 09/04/2024 20:26

Well I did hear that polars were going to be extinct soon anyway

coxesorangepippin · 09/04/2024 20:27

"You didn't tell me not to eat it."

^^

So many things wrong with this

On par with did you remind me

Riverlee · 09/04/2024 20:29

No point relying on bin day in my area. New bin contractors have taken over and have proven unreliable and bins aren’t getting emptied.

what would Pingu say?

SpringOfContentment · 09/04/2024 20:43

If you are anywhere near a Waitrose, go and buy some TimTams. They are Australian versions of (or the original?) penguins, but oh, so superior. I probably ate my body weight in them on a 3 week trip to Aus.

Perhaps he was feeling a little P...P...P...Peckish?

Actually, if you're under 40 you probably won't get that reference Blush 🐧🐧🐧

Sun under 40 (admittedly only just 😂😂) and I absolutely know this reference and appreciate it greatly!

Lovehearts82 · 09/04/2024 21:06

This post has reminded me of how good the Mint flavour Seal Bars are 😋😋

FortunataTagnips · 09/04/2024 21:11

YABVVVVVVU - Seal bars are much nicer.

Although tbf I think technically the sliding scale should be:

Kit Kat- Burn his dinner
Club- He sleeps in the spare room
Penguin- he sleeps in the shed
Mars Bar - divorce papers.

My daughter ate my last Mars bar today-
Can I divorce her? She's 15 for context

Popadomorbread · 09/04/2024 21:19

Haha some fantastic comments thank you, your replies have eased my pain slightly.
Going with the majority I am toying between divorce or new patio to cover up the murder. He has just gone to the shop so what he returns with will determine his future. He better P..P..P..Pick wisely!!!

Age of responsibility is ten. Forced emancipation and a ten bournville finger fine.

@BettyShagter is on fire this evening.

Which my DH would also be if he ate all the penguins.

ShalommJackie · 09/04/2024 21:29

DH ate a packet of TimTams the other day I could have killed him!
