  • Don't make your Brother a mince pie without telling him it was the sweet kind, he was very disappointed with it when he covered in gravy and ate it! :rotfl:

    Do not decide that instead of mash potato oats would be a better topping for fish pie, fish porridge is disgusting.

    When making copious amounts of pasta sauce don't leave a teaspoon in the liquidiser if you do don't then sit on the kitchen floor head in tomatoey hands crying with laughter. Your children WILL assume it's your liquidised face that's dripping from every vertical surface and be mildly traumatised

    On a similar theme. This is one of my MIL's don't try and learn the lines for a play at the same time as liquidising the ingredients for a recipe. Result was a liquidised spatula and a Kenwood that needed an expensive repair. Apparently she never told my FIL how it happened.

    What is is with Bisto/gravy tubs in general? Why are the lids just a flimsy bit of plastic pushed onto a cardboard tub?

    Don't drop a jar of gravy granules, it goes everywhere, and when you try and mop it, it turns into gravy streaks on your floor.

    Hoover up the gravy granules BEFORE mopping the floor to get rid of the gravy smell:rotfl:

    Sorry, this had me in stitches! :rotfl:


    Don't do your weekly shop whilst hungover - your trolley will consist of crisps, pastry products, bacon and little else!

    (this is why I did my shopping today ;))

    My brother once bought a pie and chips from the chip shop, and when he got home he found it was an apple pie instead of meat, lol!

    Regale your kids with all the funny things you have been reading on here, start crying with laughter again, wipe teary eyes with hands while chopping onions......

    then to add insult to injury have them remind you of all the other things you have done that could be added to these posts!!
    Thoughts to all. Mrs D.
