  1. @Rudigerkidd aww why not, what is wrong with the poor dog? :-(
  2. The grandmother just announced that she is going to start sewing tapestries for our weddings. She'll be sewing mine for a bloody long time
  3. Scrap that, everyone is ratarsed
  4. The grandmother is ratarsed
  5. Given the choice between speaking to his family and clearing up, the father has elected to wash dishes
  6. And people say students drink too much... They've got nothing on the Newsham family and their various hangers-on
  7. Torn between helping to clear up as courtesy to my cousin or staying put as no one expects the men to do anything
  8. Joanna and Paul have seen the grandmother's camera: 'oh, it's an old school camera, with a *film*!'
  9. We've now moved on to the taking of photographs yfrog.com/hw5spccj
  10. The father had told a mate to come to the pub. He came with an entire rugby team. Apparently he was on good form, he'd only had six pints
  11. Loooong way to go yet.... yfrog.com/h2g3kloj
  12. This house is too small. There is nowhere to hide
  13. The grandmother has come prepared with clippings including my NUJ feature and something about the cousin... talk about shameful
  14. Meanwhile, the 'men' have just rung demanding someone go pick them up. FFS. I tell you, when I have my own home, this malarky will stop PDQ
  15. The cousin's grandfather shared his opinion with the company that politicians are as thick as two short planks. A man after my own heart.
  16. She seems to feel the need to point out the poor man's deafness any time anyone addresses a remark to him
  17. The cousin's grandfather is deaf, and the grandmother has appointed herself translator: she is bawling everything anyone else says at him
