WWB I have sorted out why your MIL is buying you odd things

[Blandmum]

She is buying you treasure box items in small stages.

You , and your children, will be the envy of MN

she's not had another ball of elastic has she?

It was the half loofa that was a give away!

Noooooooooooooooooo!?

Who got the other half?

Don't forget the magazine with the crossword already filled in.

half loofa! You are kidding?!

nope! {grin}

weird....?! Is she on somekind of challenge that wwb doesn't know about? You know, like those hunts where you have to gather together a weird and varied range of objects? Only her challenge is to gather them and then give them to wwb on important occasions?

A treasure box! Why didn't I think of that ... the half loofah should really have given it away

And there was me thinking it was because she was barking ...

You've got to admit, it makes a lot of sense!

LOL! Is that her on Ebay with the £17.50 ones?

Wouldn't put it past her ...

wwb who DID get the other half of the loofah??

I'm guessing I'll get it next Christmas ...

used or unused?

I wouldn't like to guess

I half expected to get it for my birthday but got money instead ... it's still sitting on the mantlepiece because there is no way I'm even touching her money.

(Me? Bitter and twisted? Perish the thought )

I would use that money to get her a Christmas present... if you tell us how much it is we may find something that equals the originality and unapropiateness of the half loofa?

You'll get a wooden spoon next year, you ungreatful hussy.

WWB you found it good, did you let DH sort out her MD pressie ?

I think you will get a wooden spoon with the half loofah glued to it - it will be a bog brush

nooo the money was to buy the OTHER HALF of the loofah

A bog brush ... quite possibly Although she doesn't believe in them; thinks they're horribly unhygienic and would rather shove her hands down the loo to clean it.

you've got to admit wwb - your MIL is great for stories to tell

she can stick her hands down my bog anytime...

I wish she'd come and stick her head down mine ...
