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)

i discovered this thread at 3am when DS2 woke up for a feed. i have almost woken him and DH snorting with laughter ( and i can't reach a tissue and i have laughed through my nose trying to be quiet )

I just showed DH the op.

His reaction- 'ah that's really nice, he's put a lot of thought in to it'

At least I know now never to send him for the shopping!

Hilarious thread. Have a great Christmas. Did your floor get sorted Meg?

I love you, OP, and your amazing DH. Your family is beautiful :)

bless him

My darling DP bought a bag of twelve chicory yesterday to go with the four gently rotting in the fridge. For just the two of us. And I'll be away from Wednesday. I reckon he'll have turned into a giant green chicory by the time I get back

Place marking to read later

\well you know when I initially started this thread i did wonder if I'd need a hard hat. I did wonder if I'd get flamed. What a delightful reaction not least because those of you having difficulty or feeling a bit blue had a smile and a wheeze through it. I mean- it's funny to me but people around me don't often share my sense of humour hehe.
Best pic of the morning was dd's face when she opened up her postIT notes. Honest! How can I not post it on my pics.

Cuiller, I'll trade you some yummy chicory for some olives "tumbled" in orange peel and fennel...yes really tumbled

Def- floor is getting there although they did take out our loo and basin then declare- "we're going home to get ready for the xmas party now" at midday..."your loo is in the shed".

Mind boggles at what Megglevache herself is getting from her husband!

Have a great day!

Red...got a fantastic flashgun for my camera and an awesome umbrella. Amazing. Loved it and truffles.

Am feeling incredible spoilt.

No batteries though for the flashgun- have been plying the kids with olives so they give me their stocking batteries later

Oh my god this is in Mumsnet Classics

You. Are. Nuts.

Awwwww!

Yaaaay was hoping MNHQ might pop into the office for a few gins minutes!

Merry Christmas to the Meggle family !

Bless your DD she looks so pleased.
I bet all the kids at school will be jealous of her post it notes, all kids love them.

yes, she was over the moon and has spent the best part of2 hours tapping away on her retro glitter calculator with matching glitter gel pen

Ahhh, can't believe I missed this thread yesterday! What fun.

Merry Christmas, OP and her DH.

Hope you had a great day Meggle and managed to conjure a lovely meal out of those ingredients. Merry Christmas x

ggreat food today...I think by the 28th we will all have gout!!!

This thread has made me smile... your dh is a legend!:)

Meggle this thread is awesome! Laughed so hard at your DH being so sad he had bought shampoo instead of bubble bath it made my big belly hurt (39+5) Ahhh so funny.
DP won't go shopping unless he has a list because he doesn't have a clue what to buy. Although it isn't unusual for him to also bring home "treats"
Anyway, he has finished watching "the avengers" again so I better stop MNing

I love this thread :)

ah thanks Naice...that's her all over...she's just the happiest most amazing soul.

Brilliant thread. Thanks so much for sharing. Sounds like a great time trying different foods. Glad you've had a good day.

DP only ever takes notes shopping otherwise he buys loads of junk food. Thabks for the giggles. :)

I'm not alone then !
