ReplyDeleteAh! Grumpy on board...
ReplyDeleteAn old one is "Some mornings I wake up grumpy - but I usually let her sleep in"
Milk... "Men age like wine, women age like milk"
My choice would be "Canya" for years I thought it was a term of endearment then I noticed it prefixed all edicts.
Today I am grumpy because I am stripping wallpaper when I wanted to lay a new floor on Rosie. Canya do that first!
@Graham. Nice one mate. thanks..
