QUESTIONS
What would you enjoy if you could do so without someone getting annoyed with you for enjoying it? It MUST be something you aren’t supposed to enjoy because it is “bad for you”.
Easy: anything in the cream cake or sweet line. MIL always used to make me feel guilty just looking at a doughnut, let alone buying one or eating it, yet she would stuff her face with two or three cakes every day.
Is it okay for men to wear the color pink?
I don’t mind a pink shirt, but I think I would feel uneasy if it were pink socks or perhaps pink underwear.
Can you curl your tongue?
Nope.
What, in your opinion, is the best room to put a fireplace?
In a modern house, definitely a lounge. We loved our log burner in the cottage, which was originally the village school and built in 1867. However, in old houses, having a chimney breast and fireplace in any, if not all, rooms was the norm. Sadly we don’t have one here, either do we have anywhere to put one. Now if we built an extension to the smallest bedroom and converted it to a lounge diner, we could have a chimney and log burner installed.
Gratitude
Looking across the room knowing no words are necessary, just feeling the love.

Thanks Di for Sharing Your World and an awesome meme for me to share with others! That is a rock??! I thought (at first glance) that it was a hanky someone had embroidered! How delicate and beautiful the art is on that! Wow! What a beautiful memory too! ❤ Judgey fools who try to bully others for 'over eating' should pause and look in the mirror. A long hard look. That sort of treatment always made me go out and buy the biggest cream filled 'naughty' I could find and gobble it all (usually in front of the braying ass, in order to irritate them). We all deal in our own ways, don't we? You're a success story and as long as that's firmly fixed in your mind, no minding the bad mouthers.. Have a great week!
Hi Melanie. Oh I have some great and not so great memories of MIL, several of which are in my blog. Tact was not her forte, but I never gave her the satisfaction of seeing me cry. She’d spend a fortune on the latest diet fad, and say I should try it, then stuff her face with normal meals and wash it down with the liquid diet. I laughed in her face when she moaned because she’d put weight on.
Awesome answers Di! I love your photo! ❤
Thanks.
Very revealing answers. I guess I’m very lucky that my MIL is a gem. I think of her like a second mother!
My first MIL was OK, but sadly died just over a year after we were married. Hubby’s Mum was a different matter….. difficult, cantankerous, and selfish, but she was his Mum, so I made allowances at first, then saw her true colours, and didn’t like what I saw at all.
I know a few of these judgmental people too. They usually get their just desserts.
She was difficult and I don’t think liked me very much as I wouldn’t stand for any of her silliness. Saying that though, I tried to treat her the same as my Mum.
That’s very nice of you.
I tried to be fair. I lost my Mum in January 2018, and apparently MIL passed away shortly after her 100th birthday in the December, but nobody told us.
That wasn’t right.
We weren’t surprised not to be informed. There was a lot of friction there, and not of our doing.
Still it was a callous thing to do.
You could argue they didn’t have our address, but they did have our mobile number and email. A lot of animosity there, and it appears his sister died shortly after as the funerals were about 10 days apart. His BIL was a real lowlife, so no loss to us at all.
That’s just mean. And some people are like that for no reason at all. You must be relieved to put it all behind you.
We did that years ago.
👍👍👍
