Man celebrates successfully completing supermarket ‘big shop’ on his own, apart from the 43 text messages to his wife

A man is celebrating today after completing the family supermarket big shop entirely by himself, with only forty three text messages to his wife asking clarification questions about what to buy. 

Simon Williams, who decided to go shopping alone earlier today, finally completed the family shop after a mere three and a half hours and forty-three messages to his partner, along with seven FaceTime calls. 

Speaking earlier, a beaming Williams told us, “I did really well.

“I thought I’d help out with the shopping this morning and decided to go it alone to free up some time for the wife so that she could just kick back and relax. 

“Obviously, when I got there, I had to check a couple of things as I was going round, because it all gets rather confusing and there are some massive decisions to be made. On every single aisle. 

“So I had to check in with a few minor decisions, like what type of food I need to buy, and do we need any cleaning stuff? And what type of cleaning stuff do I get? And do we need drinks? And what type of drinks do we buy? And what colour label milk do we get? And what size bottle? And is it organic?

“And why is there about thirty different types of bread? I had to face time for that one, it was pretty intense. 

“Overall though, I think I did really, really well and gave the wife a lovely afternoon of relaxation because of the great husband I am. 

Asked to comment on her husband’s achievement, wife Helen told us, “Yeah, I may as well have just gone myself.”
