The only thing my Mum used to regularly say was: 'Don't do anything I wouldn't do' Which basically gave me free reign to do ANYTHING! lol Becx

I should make the most of that, Bec! LOL CB >|< X

A couple that passed down were.... All fir coat and no knickers.... Don't come running to me if you break your leg (usually when climbing trees) A liars got to have a good memory Men are from earth, women are from earth...deal with it!! Anne :)))

Just had lunch with both my daughters and they remembered some more things both myself and my mother have said to them: Brush your hair 100 times before bed If you pick it , it will never get better Beauty comes from within Lift up your feet when you walk or you will wear out the ground You only need 3 of everything, one on, one in the wash and one in the drawer Always put paper on a strange toilet seat Funny ha ha or funny peculiar Manners are all we have to separate us from the animals Flags were made for waving, not forks You are being educated for a career, not a job Never trust someone whose eyes are too close together Don't worry, we all have to eat a bit of dirt before we die Who's She, the cat's mother If you shave your legs now then you'll have bristles to deal with for the rest of your life

Just remembered one my Grandma used to say if she heard girls whistling, she hated it 'Whistling women and crowing hens are neither fit for God nor Man' Also another couple Mum used to say 'You'll get a good clip round the earhole' 'Just look at your neck? there's a tide mark on it' ' You could grow taters in them ears with all the muck' ' If you don't behave, all you'll get for dinner is bread a dripping' I loved bread and dripping so don't know why she said it lol Regards Jackie

dont pull that face at me i got eyes in back of my head ( i belived her too) pride will be pinched, (when not wearing warm clothes) if you think i wont find out , i will, i swear thats one she brainwashed me with, cos it works , i can do that now with my kids,

My mother always said. If your shoes don't fit, it shows on your face! True. Always carry enough money with you in case you need to make a phone call or get a taxi home. Bless. A secret is only a secret when you don't tell anyone. How true. Eat that up. There are starving children in the world who would love that! Truer still.

my mum used to use the starving kids trick i told her 'put my dinner in envelope and send it to um then'
