SANTA, PLEASE SWAP SISTER FOR PRESENTS

Would it be rude to change sister to MIL?

Do you think she would get the message/be offended/never visit again?

One can live in hope

Great idea!!:thumbup::thumbup:

You could also put up a few pictures of Aus around the place, lean a didgerdoo against the wall and put Rolf Harris on the TV.:eek::eek: Would that send her packing???:thumbup:

I'm stunned........I keep waiting for the veiled insult to hit me round the head, but so far so good :)

MIL can't live with 'em no sex life without 'em

What these women don't get, is that they are being nasty to the very person who most likely will have to care for them in their old age...................

Revenge will be sweet Polly.:lol::lol:

Used to tell her workmates she's better than me and she hopes we split up in front of my step daughter

Told my step daughter while we were on our honeymoon that we weren't coming back for her

Too many things really. She's just a poisoned little witch.

I'm just going to get on with it....
