    [...] Yet no-one (or I never heard anyone) criticises any of that for its "arrogance" or gets offended by it for that reason. I'll end it there. Perhaps with some degree of a relevant point on money-saving etc.-related topics.

    I know it's not what you want to hear, as I've tried to fight my own emotions on the subject, but as Bill said "Life's not fair; get over it".

    We simply have to live with what I believe to be simply an inferiority complex.

    Oh I laughed so much at this! I just got DD2 to put the washing away. You'd think I'd asked her to kill the dog!

    Speaking of dogs, I took my two to the local park for a run around. They both went in after ducks and the OH's car is now a shade of brown all over - I'm so dead if I don't get it sorted before Sunday! :o

    The worst thing is that all the clean washing also smells of burnt dinner :( so guess what Im doing tomorrow :rotfl::rotfl:....that and washing the kitchen down. Actually I think my OH should do that :D:rotfl:

    I have no idea, but I'd like to eat it :D....more than I'd like to eat chocolate with jelly in it :rotfl::rotfl:

    And I! Oh how I'd love that. I'm so happy that Haribo do Easter "eggs" now as I'm not a chocolate lover, in fact, here's my Christmas sweets tin that's been topped up a few times:

    I got DTD on the Gobstoppers as they were priced at £1 but went through at £2.50!

    If you were cooking the tea, like you should have been, instead of making the poor man cook it, while he should have been sitting with his feet up, it would never have happened, all your fault really! :beer:

    How would I get all the sweets on there like that?

    You could lick them all and fuse them together with a hair dryer:D
