    My most hated word is butty. When the children started at a new child minder and I went to pick them up, they shouted, "Mum Julie swears." I don't know who was more embarassed myself or the childminder:o She'd asked if they wanted a ham butty for tea.
    Sorry no offense meant to anyone who uses it my gran does, I just have an irrational hatred of it.

    Thanks all for the support with the mother in law not really her thats the issue its the sis in law. Its a long story but been with my OH 20 years and sis in law was gone when I came into family, changed her full name and vanished never there at xmas or birthdays. A few years back she decided to get married and returned like the prodigal and got her M & D to pay for flash wedding; still didnt see much of her till her Dad got cancer and then when he died she was around the house pushing my family out with hers. Her children were playing with father in laws treassures made my boys cry so.

    The family home is a large house that in laws lived in 5 bed hertfordshire georgian job. Father in law left to mother in law for her life then half and half to my OH and his sis.

    Mother in law gifted to sis in law for a third of the value which she spent on a small cottage which my husband will get most of one day. Mother in law says my boys do not need there own bedrooms as much as sis in law needed a big garden for her toddlers and house to entertain in. Sis in lawalready had a bigger house than my family of five to start with.

    Mother in laws reasoning sis in law is better with money than us she earns three times what my OH does working part time and her husband twice that.................story goes on gets worse but needless to say my house is falling down and my six foot sons sharing single rooms so unfair. Mother in law hardly speaks to us but blaims us when she does speak its all about prodigals wonderful family.

    I love voucher shopping and getting bargains gives me a high just sometimes I get so down as mother in law is only interested in sis in laws family and mother in law is loaded you could buy a nice house with her bank balance.

    Thanks for the rant and support, excuse the punctuation not good at it,especially when ranting.

    My hated phrase is "Well I don't mean to be rude but...." Yes you do!

    Afternoon all

    £50 LTS vouchers arrived this morning :j Burning a hole in my pocket they are :o Still waiting for the £25 ones and goody bag. Have decided to put them towards an i-phone :D Apple dont take them, but carphone warehouse do and they sell SIM free ones :j Now, do I wait until the £25 ones arrive or just go out on Monday and get it anyway? Now I know what I want, I want it NOW!!

    Be careful with that. A CPW manager I know told me when I upgraded mine that CPW SIM free stock is SIM free when you buy it but once you put a SIM in the phone then becomes locked to that network. O2 will unlock them for you after about a year. If you want truly unlocked then you have to buy them from Apple.
