PMSL, I've read that before but I'd forgotten how funny it was.

I would rather sleep on the street than stay with my MIL. Which is a good job as she says she hasn't got room for us, (all 3 of us - huge family that we are...) She only has 2 spare bedrooms....

Shame on you for thinking of sharing a bed in her house....

PMSL - it was only 5 years AFTER we were married that we were allowed to sleep together in her house... and all that time she was bleating on about us giving her grandchildren. I don't think she has a grasp on the facts of life...

Maybe that's the problem - there weren't any in the bedroom???

The problem now is that she can't be bothered to tidy up - so we stay in a hotel when we have to... but I much prefer it anyway.

Poor Claire - sorry to hijack your thread - I do understand MILs are a HUGE problem. At least you will be the other side of the World from yours in 3 weeks time!

PMSL at the above.

My MIL won't go abroad - too hot, Won't eat 'foriegn muck' (ie anything which isn't meat and 2 veg) and hates flying... all of which is music to my ears..

Hope you are as lucky Claire.

My SIL wear sandals all year round (even in the snow - I kid you not) and never cuts her toe nails.... Doesn't like men or women (as MIL has put her off sex for life) and is trying to brainwash DD into her happy clappy religion.

Can you see why we are emigrating now???
