Just went to have some toast. The toaster is temperamental and hangs onto the bread, so I have a set of plastic tongs to retrieve it. I couldn't find them anywhere so rung my mum (she'd been here earlier in the day and I though she might have had toast, then put them somewhere unusual.)
No, it turns out that she's taken them to use when she's pre-soaking my niece's bibs/mucky clothes and I'll get them back later in the week.
I'm quite bloody cross with her and I'm afraid it turned into a bit of an argument on the phone. She thinks I'm being unreasonable, because they're only 'cheap plastic tongs' and she's going to buy me a new pair.
I don't want a new pair, I want mine but not after they've been stewing in a mix of dirty water, baby food and baby sick! I pointed out that if she was buying new ones anyway, she could have just bought a new set to new tomorrow and not needed to have pinched mine!
Who is BU?!
