I don’t know if you remember the first lockdown when I sent my hubby shopping and returned with 50 tunnocks tea cakes.. anyway learnt my lesson and did click and collect since. He dropped my son off at the health centre for his vaccine. I said to hubby while you are waiting just pop across the road to Waitrose and get a loaf of bread . Thought can’t go wrong one item in and out ..... no returned with milk and dark chocolate tunnocks . I questioned him .. his excuse oh I haven’t tried the dark chocolate ones so thought I would buy them ... raised eyebrows I said and the milk ones .. oh he said just in case I don’t like the dark...
And the Guinness there is 12 cans of Guinness .. for st. Patrick’s day ... my response ITS STILL BLOODY FEBRUARY.. that’s it he’s not aloud to go shopping..
oh he forgot the bread 😂😂😂 he’s like a kid in a sweet shop.
LolA man who knows what he likes, tunnocks tea cakes are quite yummy.
I asked my partner to bring veg for the evening meal, good old Scottish mince and tatties...anything green will do I said....he brought a cucumber.....nothing else just a cucumber 🥒....🥦🥬
What's he like?! Must say that the dark chocolate Tunnock's Tea Cakes are lovely though. Rarer to find than the milk chocolate but when I see them I get them too. 😋
Noooo! Love my choc, though my h is the dark connoisseur. He loves Willy's Cacao Rio Caribe Gold though did treat him to 6 bars of other estates at Christmas. I can't tell much difference between them but he says he can. Have you tried any of them? x
I’ve had Booja Booja and Montezuma’s which have lacto free and dark variants with different unusual flavours Also Duffy’s. I also like Green & Black dark choc and love the one with cherry pieces in and also the one with ginger. I do have to leave it alone when it triggers catarrh and coughing episodes though as it isn’t worth it. Not even for a choc lover like myself! I am better if I eat it during the day and not evenings of makes me react more. I’ve heard of Willy’s but not tried it yet. x
I've heard of Montezuma's but not Booja Booja, will look for it though because our local Booths' have stopped selling Willy's so had to buy online last time. He is lacto intolerant, not why he chooses dark, he just prefers it, so it could be an alternative. He's not too bothered about anything in it, although he did like a chilli chocolate he found once. A shame it affects you that way though but can understand avoiding it when it does. x
Just checked, our local Booths' sell it, & Holland & Barrett too so will have to tell him to look out for it, he due to go on Friday for his wheat bran. Have you tried the ice cream at all? We rarely have it but when we do we buy a good one but since being diagnosed LF we've just not bothered. x
I’m not such a great lover of ice cream these days .. ot has to be a really enticing flavour. Love sorbets. I do adore Northern Bloc ice cream (and sorbets!) and they have vegan ones. We used to have them each theatre visit in Leeds, who stocked their full range. Chocolate orange was my fave and also ginger caramel. They also have a vegan range now. Tiny little tubs at the theatre but you can get a larger one to serve 4 approx in some supermarkets. Do you mean Montezuma’s do ice cream at yours? Haven’t been in a supermarket since last February! I’ll look at the supermarket online though. x
I don't know if you remember a Victoria Wood Sketch where she goes to the shops for a loaf and goes on to describe as she reaches her car on her way out strapping the washing machine on to the roof etc etc. Always makes me smile.In the halcyon days before Covid and online shopping slots....if I didn't have a list on going to the shops I was hopeless. I would remember I needed five things go into the shops and come out with five things. Only not the five things I wanted! Although I think I could manage to get a loaf
Changing the subject a bit....did anyone else get an email from Asda saying they would “put you on their priority delivery list...or any other supermarket...but only choose one” (!) because they have heard you may need assistance? Bit of a waste where I live...I have no idea where the nearest Asda supermarket is....but where did they get my details from?
Do you think our friends Matt & Rob have been selling their CEV Mailing list?
How strange, it does make you wonder. Perhaps the NHS have a list as in Nearest Honline Shop Seriously though it does make you think where have they got your details from? Would be interesting to hear if anyone knows or has experienced the same.
I never got into the tea cakes but have always loved their caramel wafers. When I was a child, the milkman used to deliver them with the milk, and the Corona "pop" we were allowed for special occasions.My daughter is also learning it's not always a good idea to send her (new) husband shopping for her. They now have a large stock of tinned Tomato soup (from 57 varieties) and baked beans "just in case" he said. Considering my daughter is a brilliant cook (she doesn't take after me!) and cooks nearly everything from scratch, I'm sure she will end up giving them all to the local food bank.
In mid-January he bought some Seville oranges so she could make them some home-made marmalade. I nipped in to see them for a coffee on Sunday (support bubble excuse!) and the oranges were sitting on the dresser looking a little past their best. Guess who ended up making the marmalade? ME! What a mug for offering! 🙄. I was absolutely worn out afterwards yesterday evening but had some lovely toast and home-made marmalade for breakfast this morning. 😋
Sent my husband for satsumas and he returned with Seville oranges! I don’t make marmalade so I peeled and segmented them, put them in sugar syrup with spices and a good slug of Cointreau, boiled it all up and served cold with clotted cream. MUCH nicer than marmalade.He went for a loaf too once - and came back with a new car!!
Its very easy to go wild in there! He bought for me, as a surprise, and it certainly was, a Mercedes A class . It seemed that easyJet had ordered them in fleets so passengers would hire their cars having got off their planes, thus eliminating competition from Avis Hertz, etc. All the upholstery was in brilliant Stally orange. What Stally had not thought about was that they would not hold much luggage if full of passengers so the scheme failed. When I opened the door of my RED car so see lurid orange inside i laughed until it hurt. I always thought it was a happy car and kept it for many years.
When my dad retired he became a corona pop man around Totnes. He loved the job everyone was always so pleased to see him and he got three bottles free every Friday. My teeth were always pink with cherryade
We have a cupboard full of chocs, sweets and biscuits. My hubby is a sugar fiend. Slim and and very fit (a runner) but it’s too much sugar, I’ve also just had to fight to get a bowl from another cupboard as it was blocked off by and full of six packs of crisps/savoury snacks. 😆 I also spied a box of the choc teacakes in the sweet cupboard but only one! In all fairness he gets everything I ask for 💗 all the healthy things .. and is a great shopper otherwise and brings me flowers every week and magazines, but we could do with an extra cubby for all these “extras”. x
His sweet cupboard is well stocked as well so is his crisp snd nut cupboard as well as his booze cupboard . Mans as thin as a rake . I pack it away and gain 4lb😩
My hubby runs most evenings but even if he didn’t he would be skinny as that is his way. So was mine until 55 when the meno made some changes to midriff, and since then I have to watch my intake now more carefully. My hubby rarely drinks but does like a craft beer or a glass of wine now and then.
Me too loved exercise I had a good figure until 3 years ago . I exist on air and still put on weight 😂 hubby has no problem he’s an exercise freak as well . I just watch these days
I usually walk quite a bit but it got awful with people refusing to keep distance this summer so I gave up. I did two sessions of aqua aerobics:hydro a week but they had to stop whtn everything got closed.
Me too. I was very strong for someone with RA until I stopped those sessions. You can do so much more in the water that you can’t on dry land re exercise. x
Is he related to my middle son ? Told him I would buy anything from Sainsbury’s if he got a good report. Eldest sons marched to the chocolate isle middle son marched straight to the fish counter and wanted mackerel..🤢hate the smell of cooked fish in the house and mackerel is the worst
I would be delighted with the tuna! Our Tesco stopped selling fresh fish about a year of so ago. I’ve found a company locally who will deliver fresh fish though I’m glad to say.
Love that story and I love Tunnocks. However since hubby a chef we go in a shop and I turnaround and the shopping trolley is full I mean FULL he buys everything new he has not seen and I spend the time trying to get things back out the trolley. Thank god for delivery service keeps him in check!
Like shopping with a toddler. Spent hours putting things back when mine were little. The worst was when I left them in the pushchair double buggy got home my nephew was sitting on his stash .😂middle son was about 18 months I put in in the car seat but couldn’t do up the seat belt ... why? A teddy stuffed under his coat . Had to go back to the shop embarrassed and ashamed the teddy was very expensive ... middle son was a nightmare.😂
This is a tiger sculpture I once saw...covered in Tunnocks (and some M&S) tea cake wrappers! Maybe your hubby and the artist could get some kind of mutual arrangement going? 🙂
Love Tunnocks Teacakes, I used to stay in the town where they were made, when I walked past the factory, oh the smell of caramel wafting about was great. You realise I will have to add some to my shopping list this week. 😬
Hubby was correct as our supermarkets did not have any, I resorted to getting cheaper ones and they just weren’t the same. I sent my hubby to get me a bar of chocolate and he came back with £30 worth of chocolate. I didn’t complain as it kept me going for a while lol. He doesn’t even eat chocolate. Xx
Haha so funny I’m lucky my hubby does all the shopping we use click and collect and have done for quite some time. But he still buys too much I’m just glad he’s not going in the shop for ‘bargains’ or we would probably feed the street lol. Have to watch out for lots of extras being added though but haven’t ended up with your shopping bag yet instead of a loaf or bread haha.
Lol! I am still laughing. I went on Amazon and found the tea cakes! I ordered the milk choclate ones. Never had them before I'm from the US waiting in anticipation . They sound yummy. The also have the dark choclate ones. You get all types of information on this site. Even though your hubby was naughty. Aren't they all.🤪
