Default May need karma or slap in the face.

Okay just went to do the shopping down at ASDA. Forgot to take ,my £1 for the trolley so I had to be cheap and find a trolley that wasn't attached to any others. After some searching found 1, started to push it and low and be hold all the wheels want to go in different directions.
Started off in the fruit section, some very nice woman was wearing one of those low cut skin tight tops, so I got caught having a perv, although she had a smile on her face. Then I had to negotiate around the old people, who like to chat in the middle of the isle. Did the shop went to the check out the lady helped me pack to start off with, but, then lost interest after 5 mins. She bought the total up £97 pound nearly fainted. Got home and started carrying the shopping up stairs. 1 of the bags broke which sent the fanta bottles down 2 flights of stairs.
Now I'm waiting on my girlfriend to come home, so I can tell her the price of the shopping, I did buy her flowers though it may help, but, I doubt it. I am wondering if there are any courses for men that can't shop? Anyway, if uou don't hear from me again, you know what happened to me.

Now you see why we hate shopping!! Crappy trolleys and negotiating around all the idiots standing in the way having a good chat as they have not seen each other since last time they went shopping etc etc.

Mind you if I take the hubby my bill is definately more, normally DVD's, CD's, beer and chocolate.

I think you should also cook her a slap up meal as well for when she gets back in. (I'm sure you've got enough food or is it mainly beer?)

Good luck

If you do it bad enough, often enough she won't ask you to go again so you can take your paper down the pub and let her get on with it

Or you sealed the meat really well to keep the juices in.

I think I mite just lie about the cost of the shopping, hopefuly I can intercept the mail and get credit card statement before the big bad wolf dose. I have been in the dog house before, it isn't a nice experience, having to sit on the floor, not getting regular back rubs.

I haven't been asked since, not that I mind that much
