You're doing well! Although she may just be playing a game of cat and mouse with you and will drop in a sarky comment on Boxing day.....

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.

My MIL goes to the toilet at least 6 times in a 2 hour visit because she likes to look in the other rooms and obviously can't take it all in , in one trip.

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.

Capitalise on your success now Polly, by serving this meal up to her at every given opportunity.... breakfast, lunch, dinner...

LOL. What a shame you'll be working.

At least she lives a long way away and can't 'pop in'!

It was a hard choice, but I felt I ought to volunteer to work, so all those with children get a peaceful Christmas............all heart that's me

Knowing my pigging luck we'll get non-stop storms for the next week and I'll be rushed off my feet

LOL. I knew that too....

BTW, I saw a car with a bumper sticker of your avatar the other day. It said, 'My other car's a broom stick, don't annoy me.'

I wonder if you can get one in Aus???

My MIL forgot both her grandsons' birthdays, 2 years running Also can't be arsed in actually writing anything other than her name on cards! too much effort

Actually saying all this, we're now 12,000 miles away, and we have had 2 huge parcels delivered
