....the evil mother in law has just gone home after 10 days of being waited on hand & foot. Deep joy!

[woofgang]

Lol. DH and I have a saying " nice to have visitors, lovely when they leave."

[wolf63]

Has she really gone home or she now under the patio?

[mrs_overall]

I can't say it is nice to have her - she complains about everything.
As usual, she spent around £100 per head on pressies for Mr O & the Junior O's.
She gave me a set of notelets

[boxtops]

LOL Mrs O, so you can write and thank her....

[DTCwordfan]

what are notelets? £10 notes.....?

[mrs_overall]

lol DT....I wish

Notelets are little blank cards with envelopes, in a pack. As usual at Xmas, she left the price on - £1.50
Mind you, that's an improvement on the 99p she spent on me last year

Thanks steve. I tried that one year with some old ladies bath salts she'd given me. She spent a day sobbing on Mr O's shoulder, calling me ungrateful

[seadogg]

Found you a nice pressie for her next year

Mrs. O - hahaha - you should have put a dose of laxative in her Christmas pudding, she would have gone home earlier.........(:0 D

[mrs_overall]

seadogg - she would class a bottle of that as "foreign muck", but I might buy some in readiness for her next visit

Missed my bargain book this year -only cos I sent her a notelet (can be useful) to advise we werent doing Christmas for adults anymore -backfired cos she agreed with me-drat !! (thats a first apart from telling me her son was an arse and did I know what i was letting myself in for when we got married-have had to agree with her there)

[DTCwordfan]

So at least she has a memory - my mother (dementia) has taken to giving folk back presents that they had sent her. She just pulled this one on my bro-in-law as his birthday is in the 10 days before Christmas. The trick now is to but something one likes knowing that it is coming back over the fence......
