Beheaded terracotta warrior

[JaquelineBean]

We have new cleaners. They’ve been here twice now. House always smells great, and I can see what they’ve done, but things aren’t put back where they came from. I’ve just glanced at the mantelpiece and spotted that one of my replica terracotta warriors, wot I got in yer actual xian in yer actual China, has a head missing. Do I raise this with them, or just accept that the thing is over 10 years old and just superglue the head back on.

Sorry: yabu these things happen
Yanbu fire them at once!

I wouldn't fire them for breaking it, but I would be upset about them not telling me it happened.

Are you sure it wasn't anyone else in the house?

Well I would be concerned that any damage to personal effects hadn't been mentioned to me, but in the case of these warriors (I have exactly the same item, purchased on site too btw) really, they are so ugly and tacky, you should be grateful you can now bin it without guilt. Mine has been scaring spiders in the dark corner of the loft for years now.
Also btw, are you my sil as I believe mil also purchased you one of these priceless items.

,wot I got in yer actual xian in yer actual China, has a head missing -

I'd actually stop sniffing the glue you are using to fix its "actual xian 'ed"

Why did you change your writing style from normal to weird?

That's a he'll of a mantelpiece to support a 6 foot statue.

Read "hell of a"

Thanks for making me laugh!

Miniatures, about 10cm high. Not purchased by MIL. I guess my writing style reflects my personality :-)
