My Inlaws have the thermostat up at 30 in summer!! Then his mother opens the windows if we are "a bit warm"

A BIT WARM??? FFS.... the dead giveaway is all of us lying on the floor naked and gasping for air!!

(oooo nice image!)

Good luck Coddy. How long are you staying for?

Wish MIL wouldn't boil all the lunch veg until it is a greenish grey colour and the consistancy of baby puree (that includes carrots!!)

codswallop · 16/12/2003 09:57

2 cards on one peg??

I hope that ... FIL only snarls at the children once or twice. DH & I don't go out of our tree at the monotony of the routine. The kids will actually go outside in spite of the cold. The journey there (Scotland) and back doesn't get delayed. There is some part of the Xmas meal that morning sickness will let me eat. That MIL doesn't ask why I haven't had an amnio and when AM I getting sterilised? Since, with a 3rd baby on the way, I'm obviously breeding for England.

Just the day, at dp's aunt and uncle, BUT I do hope MIL does not return to the ever-popular topic of just how brave I was to embark on pregnancy when so very, very old.

lazyeye · 16/12/2003 10:04

There is a truth universally acknowledged, that all in laws do not know where the central heating on button is and all MILs put the veg on 15 days before eating........

Tell the same story over and over again.

MIL staying right now grrr. So far, since last night she has told me the same bloody story 4 times. How many more before she goes home? And dh is in a permanent bad mood whenever she comes to stay so I have to be extra nice to compensate.

codswallop · 16/12/2003 13:46

Not tell stories of how lovely dh was yet she forgets his birthday,,, he is an only child for chrissake

twink you have to clip the peg to the join of the card the spine. downwards and clip it shut

I'm with my parents for 3 weeks this year. Heating up to the max - every window in the house open "for fresh air" - huh??

Can I have a Crimbo name too please?? Any ideas?

No inlaws for me this year

The way I feel about them at the moment, it is possible that I will up on a murder charge if I have to face them !

Luckily for them, they are both 250+ miles away from me at the moment!
