Things that would apall your grandmother?

[LunaMay]

Lighthearted - just missing my nanna thinking about this.

I was making a quick dinner while my mum was over and hovering about while chatting. The plan was some homemade chips and i grabbed a small knife and began peeling potatoes, next thing i get a playful slap on the shoulder and a reminder that my nan would have been appalled at me 'wasting so much potato' by not using a peeler.

Made me smile because i had that conversation with her plenty of times when she was still around. She never clicked on that i don't reuse teabags, that the clothes dryer wasn't just for emergencies, that i use fresh oil and dont have a frying pan in the cupboard with fat/oil older than me in it...

@MayMorris that's such a lovely story....got a little lump in my throat! She must have been so proud.

Ripped jeans. My Nan said I looked hard up 😂

My nan called me when I was in hospital having just given birth to DD2, and whispered in a kind of David Attenborough voice "Exh (he wasn't ex then!) is in the kitchen, he just tidied up and now he's doing the washing up!" Grandad, lovely though he was, would never have done that!

Ah, thanks…so do I 😢

My general appearance.
My nan and her sisters were always glamorous. Always had hair and nails done, make up applied perfectly. I wear the same hoodie for days and old jeans that are ripped but not in a fashionable way.
