Why can't he just read the label??!!

[volvocowgirl]

I'm nearly 9mth pregnant and really want some ice cream. My other half said he'd get me some. He took the last of my cash until payday, spent most of it (on stuff I didn't agree to) and bought fucking frozen yoghurt. I'm livid! (He has previous for buying ridiculous things because he can't be bothered to read the label but I really thought buying fucking ice cream wasn't all that hard!)
So now I'm skint with no ice cream! This is the only time he's pandered to my hormonal pregnancy cravings or whatever and then he hasn't really done it, has he!??
I've already got two tubs if frozen yoghurt in the freezer. If I'd wanted that I would've eaten that!!

Argh. Should I LTB? (When it's warmer though, in the morning, not actually get out my PJs now)

Where was his money?

He doesn't get paid until Monday

He spent the last of your money on stuff you didn't agree to?

He's been a bit if a donut not reading the label. Has he looked after you generally during the pregnancy?

What other stuff did he buy? Can he exchange any of it for icecream?

TBF it's stuff we need but I didn't know he was buying it. I have some Tesco vouchers I could've used for that stuff though rather than the last of my cash

I know it's really petty but I'm really pissed off about the lack of ice cream really (and that now he's spent the money there is no chance for ice cream! And all I wanted was some bloody ice cream!!)

Just wanted a hormonal rant (and some genius to think of someway I can get free ice cream delivered to my door on a Friday night)

Have you a 24h Tesco he can go to with the vouchers?

He can't exchange it, the shop's not within walking distance.

He's been okay during my pregnancy. Really great with some stuff, not so great with others. But I think that's just because he doesn't understand the inconsistency of ability/health/wellbeing/sanity when pregnant (ie it confuses him that one day I'll clean the house from top to bottom, then the next I can't even bend over to put on my shoes - he doesn't get the shifting position thing - so he thinks I'm putting it on I think).

Tesco isn't within walking distance I'm afraid. Or I'd have gone myself now.

Hmm, sorry, I don't know any other way to get icecream. Have you anything like grated chocolate you can mix with the frozen yoghurt to make it yummier?

Hmmm... Nope, I have custard powder (the old school one you put milk in), an apple, two Ferraro rocher, a huge bag of caster sugar and some glacé cherries - that's all the sweet stuff in my cupboard! Heheh. If anyone can think of a nice recipe with those that could take my mind off ice cream that would be greatly appreciated (and they'd be a culinary mastermind!)

You need a Ready Steady Cook-er!

I'd probably eat the FR and go to bed with a nice cup of tea.

Think I'll just settle for sulking over a nice brew. The Ferraro Rocher will probably just kick start my heartburn.

Thanx for letting me moan

Mix custard powder and sugar with 2 pints of cold water, doesn't matter about tge lumps, pour slowly over dh's head and add cherries to tge top, scream 'I wanted ice cream you bastard' and then retire to a bath and eat the chocs.

What Love said!

Have you got a lovely mate that will come over to you with I've cream?? Then you can lock him in the garden while you sit and eat it together?

He's in the bloody bath!

The lumpy, cold custard suggestion nearly made me we'd myself - but I couldn't do it because I'd be the daft bugger cleaning it up after

I'm going to insist he performs perineal massage on me! Or the baby gets my surname. I think that's a suitable punishment for now.

Men are crap!!! Yes huge statement but I bet none of your girlfriends could ever, in a million, zillion years have mixed up frozen yogurt (really, why bother) with real life ice cream.

You can't really LTB yet... eat the chocs, then keep him up all night complaining about the heart burn secretly planning to break something he values when you are in labour

WTAF????? FFS get your own ice cream and stop bring so precious!

I don't think you understand fiftyandfab...this sounds like serious 'craving' territory.

In only one of my four pregnancies I experienced true cravings. The craving was for (very specifically) vanilla Häagen-Dazs. I had to have it each and every single day.

When my DM very kindly offered to pick me up what I wanted from her visit to the shops, I made my request...very specifically. She came back with three different (very lovely) vanilla ice creams but it was not what I had requested. I was quite shocked by my response; it was not pretty and I am not proud.

Several 'phone calls around town later, I had my fix.

The day after I gave birth, the remainders of the last tub sat in the freezer for over five months before it was turfed into the bin.

My lovely DD is known as the 'ice cream queen', such is her desire for all sorts of lovely frozen desserts...I blame her. She, of course, blames me for her insatiable desire.

volvocowgirl, suffice it to say, I feel your pain. Hope you get your ice cream soon and all the best with your imminent delivery x

He said he was going to buy her ice cream, and he spent all the money and didn't buy her ice cream. She's not being precious, nor can she go and buy her own ice cream, because he spent all the money.

well placed to be having a baby with no cash

Wow Bohemian girl, just wow

Bohemian - why say something so nasty? You didn't need to make such a judgemental comment. You don't know the op' s circumstances, and shouldn't make assumptions.
Op, send him again with vouchers and tell him that if he comes back with anything other than what you specifically ask for, that you will squeeze his testicles instead of his hand during Labour. Might sharpen his concentration.
