...
fruitshoots . He saw my face and said 'god ffs what is your problem with them. I said 'you have read the ingredients, last time we had this conversation in the supermarket' He said 'look, it says 'no artificial colours or sweetners' (or something like that' so I start to read out the ingredients, he hears the word 'apartamine' (the one he recognises) grabs it off me and goes 'oh, yes, thats not good...its a one off ok?'

So, I pick up a carrier bag and pull out
high juice - 'you cant be annoyed about that! its got fruit juice in it!' 'its got glucose-fructose syrup in it' (DH already said he did not want DD to have this). 'oh. Well, I was trying to save money!'

Then...4 icing/hundreds and thousands covered donuts as DD wanted a 'pink cake', dishwasher cleaner (he confessed he saw an advert just before he left for shopping), grated parmesan (saves time)!!!!

I am sure he did it on purpose so he doesn't have to go again!

cheesesarnie thank you but I should have expected no less eh?

Oh, and my DH is rather pleased that MN has jumped to his defence. He now thinks he can buy fruit shoots more often...don't do it again eh?

I shall now show off and say my DH is very well trained and always buys what I would buy (in fact frequently buys less because he is less seduced by other stuff) and he would never come back with random cleaning stuff. He might be asked to use it!

ilovemydogandMrObama · 02/02/2009 23:19

I was out with DD and DS a few days ago and someone asked for a fruit shoot

southeastastra · 02/02/2009 23:21

if you're so picky you have to get it yourself

dragonbutter · 02/02/2009 23:21

mmmmm, pink cake
that is the best kind of cake!

what a silly pouncefest this has been.

FriarKewcumber · 02/02/2009 23:26

why do you need to clean dishwashers? Is the stuff that we all put in to clean the dishes repellent to the walls of the dishwasher? Is the 200 degree hot water mysteriously not as sterilising to the interior of the dishwasher as the contents of it?

Tortington · 02/02/2009 23:27

i had a fruit shoot on Sunday.

it was fucking horrible.

i much prefer sunny d - why is sunny d bad for me?

I asked DH to get me a DVD to cheer myself up though this detox and he came back with 3 KRISPY KREME DONUTS. The bastard. The only thing~I had to watch was him slobbering all over these delicious round dumplings of joy (the donuts, that is)
Lighten up all you frosty nips on here - blimey, reckon the cold weathers getting to some of you at the moment. Why all the argy bargy?

brightongirldownunder · 03/02/2009 00:31

Apologies for double post. Its the detox.

dragonbutter · 04/02/2009 09:22

are you detoxing from donuts????
wow

brightongirldownunder · 04/02/2009 09:28

If only.
Wish i could detox with donuts - imagine sitting in krispy kreme all day knowing it was doing you some good!

dragonbutter · 04/02/2009 09:31

I had a boyfriend when i lived in the states. He played american football and was told to put on weight and bulk up a bit despite being fairly chunky as he was. He introduced me to krispy kremes hot straight off the conveyor belt. He ate huge boxes of them.

I'm not sure his coach wanted him to get fat but he wouldn't listen to me.

TrillianAstra · 04/02/2009 09:34

assuming you have a liver, you don't need to detox

to Pavlov's DH: buy whatever you like, but if you get home and read teh back and realise the food is full of things you disapprove of we will laugh and call you an advertising-influenced fool

brightongirldownunder · 04/02/2009 09:57

"Hot krispy kremes straight off the conveyor belt"
Oh my god - there is a heaven....
Trillian - yes I know, but I was so bloated and it actually made me realise how much crap I was eating.

dragonbutter · 04/02/2009 10:05

they used to flash the neon krispy kreme sign when the donuts were hot.
it was next to the world trade centre so i have no idea if it's still there.

brightongirldownunder · 04/02/2009 10:09

I can imagine waiting for that sign to flash and pushing past people to get there first!!
Weird to think it may have gone because of where it was. Bleak reminder of what happened..

dragonbutter · 04/02/2009 10:11

well yes, but maybe not important in the grander scheme of things eh?
have to say it's taken me 7 years to think, 'ooh i wonder what happened to the donuts?'

brightongirldownunder · 04/02/2009 10:19

No I know, but just a reminder, which in itself is pretty important as we all tend to forget these disasters pretty quickly.

brightongirldownunder · 04/02/2009 10:20

You know what, I think I may have to go and get a KK now - they sell them round the corner. I just need to work out which one....

dragonbutter · 04/02/2009 10:30

original glazed of course
