Invited the inlaws for lunch. MIL was on her normal wander round ask about DIY plans, ignore repulse and tell us what should be done and how we should do it, this is find as we ignore her anyway but she never seems to notice. FIL sat behind his paper, again normal, BIL sulked in the corner as we had none of his favourite beer in, just some bottled ales. We ignored his sulking. SIL offered to help sort lunch ( lean against the side and criticise because she 'did catering for a summer' again bite tongue and ignore). My food processor is on the side in a box because I am getting rid as I want a different model and it's being collected by the buyer next week because it's for a birthday and I am hiding it for her. Twenty minute interrogation about why it's going, when it's going and what model i am changing to. She then moved onto a similar interrogation about the halogen cooker, going back for a swap as the handle broke.
Bite tongue, serve dinner, smile and see them off. Got back after dropping off parcel for friend to find I have missed my SIL's phone call to tell me I should give her both of the items we discussed as if I can afford to change processor then I don't need the money I'm selling it for and it's far too much hassle to exchange stuff but she needs it more than me anyway. It felt as if she had done an inventory of my kitchen and decided what she wanted.
Rant done.
