My friend grabbed what she thought was a long roll of foil out of a box full in the supermarket.
Neither her nor her husband noticed after unloading it from the car and putting it away that it was infact a long packet of Jaffa cakes tchgrintchgrin which was only discovered at 7 am yesterday when he was prepping the turkey. Could have caused a major row but she drove to a friends and got some foil.
It was the joke throughout the day.

How about calling your DDs new partner Steve, her ex husbands name?

Apparently instead of putting the crisp in my mouth I take too many bites, I never realised crisp eating was such an exact science, of course I did it all the more to their total annoyance.

(I expect I stuck my foot in it several times and upset someone. I usually do. Haven’t been told yet!)

Do you pour the wee bits left at the bottom of the packet into your mouth or do you just munch them up too noisily Hang your head in shame and get it right ! ha ha ! Enjoy your crisps !!

Oh dear. flowers (too early for wine). You did the right thing, quietly leaving. With dignity and no burping I hope. With any luck your critic(s) are feeling guilty at upsetting you.

Haha apparently I eat crisps wrongly and annoy the family??

So who fell out with who yesterday ? Who bought goose fatted potatoes by mistake ? Who bought double cream instead of whipping ? Who apparently can't wash dishes correctly ? Who touched a tap handle after peeling carrots (!) ? Who ate their dinner with great gusto but was frowned upon ? Who accidently burped after their dinner and was furiously criticised for it ? Who was critcised at being useless ? Who couldn't control the children ? Who quietly left ? Me !
Home alone , licking my wounds in total silence , Bliss !
