For the first time ever DH & DS went off to do the xmas food shop......I am still laughing...

[Megglevache]

...his parting words
"don't look worried Mrs MLV...I got this"

he spent almost £300

he bought amoungst other things
12 pack of kitchen roll
24 luxury toilet rolls- the type that are about 12 tog and will block up our feeble pipes
A partridge
8 different olives
Masses and masses of lemon jelly???
Premier Champagne (he's teetotal) I drink Cava
Popcorn (with sour cream and chives Heresy
the whole biscuit aisle
a farking Heston Blumenthrill cake (£25!!!???)
a crate of festive cheeses
8lb gammon
salmon
bike helmet
fancy bubble bath
posh candles (that smell)

Please share with me tales of bizarre shopping to take off the edge..

PS.. I am still laughing every time I open up the fridge...(which has hardly anything in it)

Festive- do you mean BOOBS???

Puts my dh's purchase of 400 sprouts and two large tubs of bread sauce and one packet of make your own bread sauce, into perspective

I wish I could like posts on here :-)

Love it

I wish our fridge wasn't full of such sensible stuff now, yours sounds so much more fun!

am looking over his shoulder as he wraps and tittering at your posts....chocs in the shapes of little bottles..

"those will be liquer chocs sweetheart, I'll take those"
packet of marshamallows

Yeah i used to love writing 58008 and 77345 on my calculator. Feel like we are going to be missing out on some fun tomorrow morning now

correction. what looks like a jar of liquid marshmallows called "FLUFF" WTF???

For a 5 year old girl.. a 6 pack of those party pirate things you blow and they make a noise and it unravels like a big air filled party willy...them things..

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Marshmallo fluff, an american idea. My american friend who lives down the raod has told me she gets some, spreads it on biscuits (eg digestive, etc) sticks another on top and microwaves to make a sweet snack.

post it notes..
DD will wee!

The end.
have a wonderful less-sodium filled xmas than me beautiful Mumsnetters XX

road, not raod must be the rum

Thank you ! You have truly truly made my Christmas Eve such a giggle. Next year can I borrow your DH to do my shopping for the entertainment value ?

I hope your DC's love their stockings , and you all have a fantastic Christmas .

I'm off to be Santa now but have been so amused by this thread! No- that's an understatement- it's been hysterical!
Have a fantastic Christmas! X

I chocked on my wine reading your last post!

Does he know your, erm, true feelings about this?!

Well he's certainly given you a christmas to remember thats for sure.

I've been giggling all the way though.

Me and DH await the results of your husband's shopping trip for bargins in the Christmas Sales. I vote we send him to buy your whole family a brand new outfit.

You can hire him out next year!

he buys my dd the most incredible clothes. she does dress like a loony but in a really good way. she's skills.

arf at hire him out.

I should start a thread on his experimental cookery...

Amazing! You have a brilliant sense of humour and your dh has tried so hard. I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas tomorrow :)

Meggle, have you ever left your DH home alone for a weekend?

Do your children usually eat Camembert and olives?

DSis and I have just cried with laughter at this. Enjoy your wonderful array of food!
