Went to collect a duplicate insurance certificate and bought a brand new car. As you do. In mitigation, the insurance office was on the second floor of the dealership!0

OH went out to buy a pair of work trousers, came home with a welsh dresser.
It confuses people when we refer to things as being on his trousers :rotfl:whoever said laughter was the best medicine has clearly never tasted wine

At the end of my last pregnancy I convinced my OH to take me into town on a Saturday afternoon (his idea of hell) to pick up a couple of last minute bits and pieces for when I gave birth and also so DD1 could spend her Christmas money. We came home via Dunelm Mill with 3 huge rugs and a bread bin...after going in to look at their v-shaped pillows.
It was only once we got home that I told him my waters had broken @7hrs earlier (prior to us going out) and I hadn't told him sooner as I didn't want him to cancel the shopping trip.0 -
cripes - 7 hours and you were still shopping?
my knees are crossed at the thought.

:rotfl: imagine his reaction when I told him, I'm still in the dog house 18 months later :rotfl:
As for the pregnancy...we went to hospital to get checked out but as contractions hadn't started and they had no concerns they let me go home with instructions to go back at lunchtime the next day. I think the nice warm bath I had in the morning masked how strong the contractions were as we didn't even make it to the car and OH delivered DD2 before the ambulance/midwife could get to us.
His only comment afterwards 'at least we'd not put the new rug down in the lounge yet'!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -
I once did something similar.I went to a solicitors appointment to start off my divorce, found myself with a Rolex on the way home. (Used his money of course !)
I went to an appointment with a solicitor to as yourself start divorce proceeding and on the way home I did a detour and bought a £350 puppy, plus food, bed, collar, lead, toys and of course a coat for when it rained and she could go out for walks and a few other bits and bobs.
I spent £500:eek: in total all from his account. He never said a word.:rotfl::rotfl:Wow, I got 3 *, when did that happen :j:T:p

The 100 rolls made me laugh because I made a list for DH a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully he read it before he left the house and he came wandering through from the kitchen asking "where am I supposed to get 100 brushes from and what kind do you want?" wally!
I went to get the kids from school a few years ago and came back with a tiny kitten. I phoned DH at work and he went mad, then came home and saw her and said, "you'd better go and get it some toys and stuff then!". Got the kids to bed and she plonked herself on his lap

Best one I've seen was when I sent the missus into Sainsburys for a loaf of bread. She came back to the car 10 mins later with no loaf but did have a brand new lawnmower.:rotfl:0

I went to buy fly spray from our local pets at home and came back with three fancy rats from their adoption centre! Hubby was not happy! I wouldn't normally advise impulse pet purchases but I fell in love, we still have the rats and hubby has come round, sometimes he talks to them when he thinks I'm not listening!0
