Meanwhile, over at Mumsnet today ….. is HfP about to cause its first divorce?

Head for Points has been picking up some traffic from Mumsnet today which is not a normal source of new readers.  I clicked through to the linked page and found this in the forum:

“Looking for a missing pair of trousers in DH’s [Dear Husbands] wardrobe this morning, I came across a policy doc and “thank you for buying tesco pet insurance” letter.  Says it’s for “Smiles”, doesn’t specify the type of animal, dated January this year, £80ish for the year.

We do not have a pet.

I will, of course, ask him when he gets home, but any ideas WTF might be going on v welcome…”

Read the very large number of responses here!

The answer is almost certainly in this HfP article here.

There was potentially a clue for the wife in the name of the cat, Smiles.

    Love it!

    My girls (8 and 6) got very excited when the pet insurance document arrived. I had tears when I told them it was just for club card points and we weren’t actually getting a cat…

  • Alan says:

    I spy postings from ‘Rafflesway’ in the comments too – you a secret Mumsnet contributor, Rob? 😉

  • Peter K says:

    Love it!! What a laugh. Sounds like she thinks he has another woman the way she’s put it. Glad I looked again at HfP this evening

  • Jason says:

    priceless

  • Nick says:

    Got to love how she’s basically admitted her husband has committed fraud for the points. Fail.

  • Our_Kid says:

    Hilarious Rob – next up headforpoints gets named in divorce proceedings!!

  • Stu says:

    Best read of the day! Brilliant!

    Sadly though despite the inclusion of cat pics and mumsnet, still can’t get the OH (wife) to take any interest in this miles collecting – just in the spending… Sigh!

    • Rob says:

      That really is Anika’s cat, by the way.

      • Nick Burch says:

        Surely if you keep sending Anika to Bordeaux rather than your wife, and keep talking about Anika’s cat rather than getting one for your kids, it’ll be your divorce it’s causing? 😉
