The Mister likes cider.
The only cider he really likes is Strongbow .
He is working in Scotland at the moment and all alcohol is much more expensive there
So, on a Sunday when we do the shopping he has been buying a box to take away with him.
At the moment he gets two boxes of 18 cans for £19.66...its all to do with the World Cup as 1966 was the last time England won ...
Anyway, I digress, he bought the cider on Sunday and put it in the boot of the car with the shopping .
Took the shopping into the house on our return , saying ....and this is the silly part as he has the memory of a goldfish ....." I will get the Strongbow out later '.
Yep, You've guessed it ....
The Mister is in Scotland .....the cider is still in the boot of his car at home !
So, when he went to get his shopping tonight he had to buy a box of Strongbow ....
Guess how much ......
£24
For just one box of 18 cans .....

@Marilynda he wasn't pleased I can tell you that ...it wouldn't have been so bad if he had forgotten to get the cans but having bought them and leaving them in the car worse !

Oh wow, that would hurt. It's so easy to do something like this.

#JudyEv. His memory is not great still the best of times ....but I will still have to remind him to take it from the car and put it into the van....
It hurt as he has forgotten before ....and he knows how expensive it is in Scotland....
