Things your mum was right about...

[NonnoMum]

I'll start.

Don't buy venetian blinds. They're such a pain to clean.

Yup. You were right mum ( as I cough up a dust cloud and they still look grubby...)

'You learn more from failure than from success'

All lace curtains and no knickers is my Mum's description of "that stuck up bitch" next door, because said ndn was always two steps ahead in material things but three steps behind in substance
