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)

Bohemian live in the real world much?

So you don't think bohemian has a point? As an aside How will op cope if something bad happens and she's getting this worked up over ice cream?

Probably because she won't always be heavily pregnant and hormonal. I don't think she's getting worked up, I thought this was a pretty light-hearted thread. Now it's turned into how will you cope with a baby when you are clearly poor and mentally unhinged

Agree with the wow comment, get a grip people, who hasn't had that experience of someone saying they will get you something from the shop only to find they forgot or bought something entirely different. The disappointment is horrible whether your pregnant or not! It's the anticipation build up followed by the let down of some inferior product.

Sorry Op, can you crumble the FRs in the yoghurt?

The answer is simple. Next time he asks you to get something do the same!!!

He might learn when he has to gel his hair with after shave balm!!

"Soooo sorry dh the tubes look the same...."

I know it's too late but you can make ice cream using two plastic bags, and salted ice, with cream and fruit/choc/sugar in the inside bag and salt in the outside bag. Takes ages but when you are in a fix you are in a fix. the salt lowers the temperature and freezes the cream so as long as you keep moving the cream it does work.

Yes I have tried it
Yes it wasn't as good as it could have been
Yes I did eat it all
No I wasn't pregnant

Jesus. Some people around here need to find themselves a sense of humour.

OP, do you have any coins lying around that would get you even a magnum? I know it's not a tub, but it might hit the spot?

I make a lovely parfait (indistinguishable from real ice cream) with eggs, double cream and caster sugar as its base, plus flavouring. I have vanilla sugar just for this purpose. Doesn't need all the stirring during freezing that real ice cream does and is yum.

I know that disappointed feeling. Once sent visiting DF out for a few bits, including coffee and rice pudding. He came back with fat-reduced rice pudding, and, worse, with decaffienated coffee.

Thanx all the people who didn't go mental and completely over react about money, etc. You made me laugh (though this pregnant that caused other problems about getting to the loo quick enough )!

For those totally concerned that I can't manage my finances, I have lots in savings and an overdraft, but I'm too bloody sensible to break into either of those for ice cream. Especially with baby on the way. Stop being condescending, heartless nobs. I just wanted a rant through the hormones. And to be cheered up. Which some nice posters with more than half-brains got and did. Which is better than the judgy judgy pants posters who like to suck the life out of things. Well done!

And for the proper bloody doomlord who couldn't help themselves - I'm not fucking 'precious' - read the whole post, get the gist, and keep your nasty comments to yourself.

Oh, and FunkyBoldRibena, I really want to try that now! Just to see what mess I make. Might make OH be guinea pig as punishment though he did bring me tea and toast in bed earlier so I'm not raging anymore. Heheh

You can actually get an ice cream ball...

Not sure how long a pint would last, not long at all but there you go.

If it happens again (yes, you know it will) - if you have any bananas in the house - peel 'em and freeze in a plastic bag (or container I guess). ONce frozen they do taste like ice cream but don't et them thaw as they get very yucky then.

At least you crave something normal. My SIL had to have sponge - not cake sponge- but the cheap ones you use for household chores-from the local garage. She would sit in the bath and suck them. I am NOT suggesting that as an alternative!
