My dp just pointed out that I say "it's like the Blackpool Illuminations in here" meaning "Do ALL the lights have to be on?" and that I must have picked this up from my own mother. The thing is, The Blackpool Illuminations were very impressive in her day, but are not so relevant today! Will stop saying it, pronto.
I also will stop saying "well, it's not the end of the world is it?" since ds asked yesterday "what would be the end of the world mummy?" Will say, "ah well, it's not important" from now on. Anyone else catch themselves using their mothers outdated expressions?
