no i cant knit, and dont smell of lavender and cloves.

and yes gravity, too much wine, and kids has made me look older.

I dont wear beige, and dye my hair to stop the grey showing. and put on nice make up, wear skirts and high heels on occasion, with of course, my magic slimming knickers.....................and am not using a tenna lady yet.

So, do you fart inadvertantly and blame it on the cat.

Is it that? It must be something.

It's her way of telling you that you smell of wee and have whiskers.

Good to hear about the Tena Lady. Always want to know about posters urinary control. I am reassured.

i think you're being over-sensitive, it's not offensive really.

I bet her likening you to a helpful grandmother isn't anything to do with your resemblance to an old person.

Are you full of nowledge and wisdom and pass this stuff down to her?

wee and whiskers.............great. just great.

and what about the other comment about my inherited furniture, ( which I love) being similar to her grandmothers which her mother has now got, and is sooooo old fashioned.................and gosh doesnt it look all grown up now!

and before anyone asks, I dont have a cat, or a wheely shopping bag.........

You're annoyed because she was meant to say that your grandmother's furniture was modern?

I think if one of my friends called me a granny, I'd be tempted to ask why she thought I was like one?

Is it that you keep offering around slightly soft, furry Werthers Originals from the bottom of your handbag?

Do you push younger people out of the way aggressively at market stalls, or do you perhaps complain that in your day, you could actually hear a tune and lyrics in popular music?

Do you constantly advise her that her child needs a good smack?

Lol at you lot!

She sounds a bit of an arse, you're her friend and she should introduce you as such, no explanatory info needed.

And you describe her as a friend, why?
