I have too much money

[Chris in London]

My children take a similar view of me. It is for this reason, I am convinced, that when they are too warm, instead of turning the heating down or taking a jumper off they just open the window.

Although I haven't gone the the extremes of packet mash, I have been watching 'Eat well for less'. Bit of an eye opener re food prices, quality and nutrition.

This isn't packet mash like Cadburys Smash. This is the real thing, proper mashed potato (with butter) put into a plastic tray and sealed. I hate to think how much that has cost (me) and it is so lazy.


That said I haven't had the balls to ask her why we are wasting money on ready made expensive shite.

Cadburys Smash? Which one, Milk, White or Dark Chocolate flavour?

It goes well with tea? Well, I never.
Just goes to show, you're never too old to learn.

Feckers that buy prepped veg and grated cheese do for me.

Yeah, get rid of central heating as well, what's wrong with rubbing two sticks together....and medicines, it's leeches all the way for me. Bloody progress my arse, pfft.

It is just a quick announcement but I thought the Cellar should know I am wadded and I like throwing my money away.

Well so it seems anyway. I have just opened the fridge and there is a pack of Marks and Spencers 'Maris Piper Buttered Mash'. It is in a dainty plastic tray with nice wavy lines on the top !!!

Now I am no cook but I thought you could buy some loose from the shop, peel them, boil them and then splodge them with a masher having added a bit of butter and milk. How rocking hard is that ? But no Mrs Mist clearly thinks I have far to much money and can waste it on stupid food. No wonder Mr Marks and Mr Spencer are rich bastards.

In future why don't you do the feckin' shopping!

Peel,boil and mash'em yourself and give your long suffering Missus a break!

Teach her a lesson, deduct the expense from her weekly pocket money. Or make her do some additional chores to make up for her error. That should do it.

My mother always used to tell us that 'It's Marks and Spencers' as though this was the magic mantra that would persuade us to eat shite.

I always find these threads interesting as people who spend thousands of pounds per year on drinking beer and eating pies at football matches will complain about their missus spending a quid more on the mashed potatoes!
