Expats and Marmite.

A question for other expats. Imagine that your other half had, just before running out the door this morning, smashed the new 500 gramme jar of Marmite, that last one left in the stash from the latest trip home. What would your reaction be? Commiseration? Anger? There, there dear?

Myself, I swept and mopped the kitchen floor, the hall, lounge, sitting room, sun room and office, just to make absolutely sure she could not blame me for anything at all. Rather shows you who wears the trousers in this house, eh?
Also found out that one of the dogs actually likes Marmite which shows there is a silver lining to every cloud, although getting the glass out of his tongue is going to be tricky.

    I feel your pain. Fortunately I have a contact who makes regular trips to Florida where she gets Marmite for me. But 500g down the drain? That’s just not right.

  4. At least it’s someone you (formerly?) loved. Not your terrible flatmate’s girlfriend. Pity me!
