 Topic: The ladle, part 2
Posted: 04 May 2006 at 8:09am |
I thought this'd give you all a giggle first thing in the morning, or else leave you unmentionable horrified 
So, I took the ladle home last night and plonked it in the kitchen. The husband thought it was great (we don't have nearly enough to get excited about, obviously!), and said that he wants me to get some more utensils from the same place today so we can have them sitting on the bench and looking very 'French kitchen'.
Uhhhhhh ..... 
Interesting.
I can either buy the utensils and spend a fortune, or I can explain to the husband why I'm not going to buy the utensils, and find myself strangled to death.
*snort*
That'll learn me

I have a horrible sense of foreboding ...that's for damn sure  Hehe
I also have a horrible feeling it's going to involve buying more utensils, and burning the visa bill when it comes in!!

Phew! I went back and I now now have a jam spoon, a serving fork and spoon and a something else ....Oh! A cheese knife. And, I'm pleased to announce, they were a lot less than the ladle!!
I was also very good and double checked the actual prices of everything, and that they were in the right bin before I bought them! It must've happened to a few people yesterday, as everything had been rearranged today into their proper places.

Oh, no xanthesmum! They don't actually match! Crikey - I hate to imagine what I'd have had to pay to get them to match!
They all have different designs on the handles ...but they still look great together. I could've bought them the same, but I'm big on stuff not matching. I have no idea why ...it's just a weird thing I've developed!

No, they weren't. I was just being a twit Admittedly I don't think I would have been able to get more than a couple of things the same, which is why they're 40% off I guess (I got 40% off because I bought 4 things) - but the range is designed so that you can mix and match the designs anyway, if that makes sense.

hey ginger, have you been talking to my husband? he sings that too, the refrain is probably more like
" lildo is a weirdo lildo is a weirdo " ( his nickname for me, long story) or he is likely to sing "matching, matching" in a high falsetto voice at me if i say anything.
yes it is my problem, but i love it...... so nice to see all of one set of something. I always wear matching underwear too..... haha

yea, exactly. here is the sad story... My entire family call me lil, have since i was a baby, scott used to alternate between that and lyla, after a few drinks one night at a friends place i did something a bit blonde, a bit dumbass ( cant remember what it was, years ago now) and he and his friends started chanting at me "lildo the dildo"...... and it stuck with that group of friends. s even wanted to get me a personalised plate with it on, but i talked him out of it..... (be very easy to turn an L into a D with a vivid) How sad, really! we are all alot more grown up now
