Do you think you could forgive your dh if you found he had taken out a home improvement loan to hire a hitman to kill you for your life insurance???

and for such a paltry sum too

Personally I think I would be reluctant.

A care worker - her poor clients!

Nutter....

"Today, Mr Kenealy, who says he has forgiven his wife and wants them to live together again when she is released from prison, watched as she was sentenced"

Her husband must be barking - why would you want someone back that wanted you offed for thirty grand??

If he took her back I bet he would have to watch what he eats and drinks!

rofl at your deadpannery countess.

That news story has just made my brain boggle. It is so sitcom. The neighbour who kept the cash! The hubby loking forward to the happy reunion! The pathetic £33K! (I mean - what's worse - your wife potting to kill you for 33K - minus 3K investment in hitman of course - or you life only being worth 33K...)

lol

Oliveoil · 11/06/2008 11:02

did you see them on the news though?

he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box imo

poshwellies · 11/06/2008 11:03

Fruitloops, the both of them

CountessDracula · 11/06/2008 11:03

No I didn't see them

tbh I had kind of gathered that

you can do a lot with £33k

is this going to turn into one of those 'nice ham' threads?

"Just because I can't afford to overinsure my husband doesn't mean I don't have the right to kill him when I want to. I live in a box you know"

CountessDracula · 11/06/2008 11:04

She does live in a box now

snort at the paltry sum.

3 grand down the bump to bump off him indoors, innit?

Cappuccino · 11/06/2008 11:05

see ggg there you go as well

£33 grand is not paltry in my book

Oliveoil · 11/06/2008 11:05

apparently she fancied the man she paid to bump him off as well

CountessDracula · 11/06/2008 11:05

could you translate that last sentence gg?

OP posts:
Oliveoil · 11/06/2008 11:05

it is for life insurance cappy

ours is more than that I think

Cappuccino · 11/06/2008 11:05

is she that mner who was getting all in a steam last week about taking the fit gardener a cup of tea?

ggglimpopo · 11/06/2008 11:05

it obviously wasnt mutual if he shopped her...

YeahBut · 11/06/2008 11:06

I'm actually rather intruiged by the proposed (false) home improvement. New patio???????
And do you suppose that she would really have done the work after she got the life insurance just to keep the bank sweet?

snowleopard · 11/06/2008 11:06

Well of course if the 33K was to be set aside for nice ham, that is a mitigating circumstance.

3 months' community service then

CountessDracula · 11/06/2008 11:06

It is hardly anything for life insurance!

OP posts:
Cappuccino · 11/06/2008 11:06

I think if dh dies I get some new garden furniture and a %50 Asda voucher

CountessDracula · 11/06/2008 11:07

Well off you go then
get a hitman
Your garden furniture is looking shabby after all

OP posts:
snowleopard · 11/06/2008 11:07

Though of course you can't actually buy much nice ham in waitrose for 33K. Maybe two packets.

YeahBut · 11/06/2008 11:07

You definitely need the tank then, Capp.
