so if after having a bloody awful week, you called a sibling up to chat about it. Would you expect to take precedence over

[Twiglett]

a dog?

Gah!

I said

WOULD YOU EXPECT TO BE MORE IMPORTANT TO YOUR SISTER THAN TAKING THE DOG OUT FOR A WALK?

no

but she could chuck dog in garden surely and bother to chat to me .. she knows everything's a bit awful atm

is this your sister that you weren't talking to

well she may be in a huff

you can't just turn it on and off when you want to you know

nope .. it is not huffy sister (spoke to her last week h'actually) ..

What is this? Little Women?

same number of sisters

well in my case no my sister who I adore constantly compares having a daft retriever to looking after three kids whilst DH is away

The dog comes first every time

is there a brother?

who sold their hair?

Are you the one who gets to marry Gabriel Byrne?

Aww, a kind of huffier grumpier version of little women. With more marmitey snacks.

call her on her mobile whilst she is walking the dog....

or just face it - she loves the dog more than you...

here's where they all hang out

Depends on the sibling. One of mine can happily go on for hours about her boyfriend and their cuddly toy thing and my bro will tell me all about his latest ebay purchases of bike parts, irrelevant of why I called.

So I would say, no, I wouldn't expect to be more important than whatever thing she has on her brain, but I wouldn't blame you for getting pissed off about it, I know I do!

is this the sister you're not talking to?

it's like a scene from Sex in the City in there

with dogs

Twiggy, what's up. We'll talk to you

are you better anyway twiglett?

I was thinking of you the other day as I have some kind of lurgy which is hanging on for months

and you were quite miserable for a while

so your continued chirpy existence gave me hope for the future

oh oh oh ROFL at chez marmite

that's the first chuckle all week (and I normally chuckle rather a lot in a sort of mad old crone way you understand)

But it IS unreasonable isn't it?

Its not like I'm constantly on the phone to this sister to be honest

and its not been a mild niggling week .. its been fairly horrendous fgs

Maybe her doggy was crossing it's legs and jiggling???
But true she could have chucked him in the garden therefore YANBU

"oh I've just put the lead on the dog can I call you back in 40 minutes"

Maybe she needed to get out?? How many dc does she have?? Was she escaping at a certain time so her DH would have to feed/bath/play with the dc's while she had a nice quiet stroll with the dog??

2 teens

hopefully she will p hone you when she comes back from getting her head cleared and be more focused to have a good chat with you.

I think i need a dog or two paracetamol

Hmm, no excuse then really.
Norty sister, I can see why you're advertising. Did she ring you back????
