It is a truth universally acknowledged that after a certain age you can get more pleasure from a short trip round M&S foodhall than you can from your own husband.

It’s just the way life is. No ones fault. Even if you don’t buy anything, the tantalising glimpses of ready meals. Forbidden pleasures of prepared veg. God! And the never before contemplated joys of buying ready plated sandwiches for a buffet is enough to make you drool.

I buy him a pie. Steak & Kidney. Knowing he’ll get a lot more pleasure from that than I could ever provide now.

    Ha! Odd image of plate with clingfilmed leftovers in the fridge for tomorrow- not got the appetite he had.

    Thank you!

    This is very sad, but fun. I wish I enjoyed M&S as much as your heroine. Maybe next time she should try something a little more aphrodisiacal than kate and sidney. Oysters are supposed to be that way, but being a bloke, he might not fancy them.

    Thanks- it's meant to be fun rather than sad.

    OK, thanks for the clarification, Lisa. I'll put my happy face back on....ooooh, it's there already.

    Nice one Lisa! Have you tried the 'Meal for two for £10 in Morrison's'? It's great :-) :-) :-p
