To think there are some right grumpy people on mumsnet today

[clitterclatter]

Must be post Christmas stress, but a lot of grumps who seem to have logged on just to nitpick and have rows.

Chill everyone and have some more brandy butter.

I've never actually had brandy butter, I do love brandy though

Is it really just butter with brandy in it? I want some now...

My grandad always made brandy and rum and cointreau butters over Christmas, I never tried it as I like clotted cream with my Chrismas pudding, couldn't imagine eating butter in spoonfuls.

You're not joking. I posted, in post family coooped up together frustration, about the trials and tribulations of living with a non driver for a few days. I expected about half a dozen responses but its gone to pages and pages and I've been blamed, flamed, defamed, maimed, badnamed, shamed, and tossed on the fire.

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry............... and now its spread into this thread.

YANBU. I want to go home now in my car

Dunno Usual. You've probably had it but forgot ton by morning

It'd be UtterlyWankerdly

Cinzano marg.

I'm a grumpy cow.

And I'm a driver who has never tried brandy butter.

Do I win?

Oh and brandy is bogging DOG so you have missed nothing.

Hopefully all the grumps are getting their grumps out of their system on here and can then go smilingly back to their MILs, driver/non driver siblings, annoying relatives wanting fry ups for breakfast every morning....

Hello, atthewelles, you seem lovely on this thread. Tell us all about your trubulating relative (brither?) so we can sympathise instead.

Yes, it's the bloody rain. More on its way in.

All the vowels rebelled on that post.

It's my sister Linerunner and I love her really but she has this car that her DP persuaded her to drive but she won't learn and I couldn't have drinks with the neighbours on Christmas Eve because I had to drive us all to midnight mass and I couldn't have drinks in my relatives yesterday because I had to drive us all home BUT tonight I'm off to a friend's for DRIIIIINKSSSS!!!!

I've just a grumpy disagreement with DH.

I was right, of course.

See, atthewelles if you'd posted that you'd have got a load of sympathy.

I think you were right, too, Salmo.

I am grumpy as DH is pissing me off :)

Oooh should I go back in there and explain........ Nah

Well my laptop has died so it isn't me - ha ha. And we have had a lovely xmas so notjing to moan about. And MIL goes home tomorrow :)

The driving is thread is now lost in the mists of opinion and anecdote, I think.

Would you not have had to drive yourself atthewelles?

I'm genuinely curious because if so you could have just tried swanning out the door whilst saying "Bye, see you when you get there!"

Me thinks that thread lost its was somewhere maybe a tomtom required

1 Brandy butter is delicious. Fact.

1. I am feeling a little grumpy. Got back to the flat after Christmas with family and its looking all lovely with Christmas decorations, got my Christmas candle going, it's clean an tidy and calm BUT I've started to come down with a cold. Feel crappy. Humph. Thought I'd escaped a cold this Christmas!
