My son in law's son gave him a magnet whch reads: 'Your village called - their idiot is missing' ! - love that one lol My magnets are all boring! Magsx

I almost forgot - I also have a poster on the tucked in side of my fridge. It's a dog with all those chins (sorry can't think of the name) with one chubby paw stretched upwards on a step. It says "without stress my life would be empty" x

Hi Lorr,enjoyed reading about magnets,mine are-If we can put a man on the moon,wht cant we put them all there? Avenge yourself,live long enough to be a problem to your kids. Im not an O.A.P.Im a recycled teenager. I would like to use one of my life lines. Dull women have immaculate houses. If life is a garden,friends are the flowers. Be nice to your kids----they will choose your nursing home. If you have not guessed by now I am old in years but young at heart.

I love my fridge magnets, have a few already mentioned and two of my favourites are Chocolate,coffee and men- so much better when they're rich. Housework is something you do that no one else notices unless you don't do it:-) Tricia

Lorr I remembered this longago thread when my daughter bought me a new fridge magnet. ' My family tree is full of nuts'

A woman is like a tea bag You don't know how strong she is until she is in hot water

Just bought this for a friend who has hit the menopause: I'm still hot, it just comes in flushes now! Janice

I have got... My Family Tree is full of nuts!! Lord if you won't make me skinny, please make my friends fat!! Don't treat me any differently than you would the Queen!! I'm not overweight, I'm undertall!! And my favourite... I still miss my ex-husband, but my aim is getting better!! Plus loads of others. Anne :)))

I have, I started out with nothing & still have most of it. To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with. I also have a koala & a kangaroo, presents from Australian friends & a set of wombles from the first time around as well as various bits of fruit. I will be looking out for the family tree one,so apt for me. Vivienne

I got this fridge magnet for my husband I think it was a fair swap.

I have one which says 'Children who misbehave on these premises will be taken away and sold as slaves.'

Great thread, never had any till a few months ago, but our American neighbour has loads. Everyone buys him a magnet from their travels. Apart from my N.U.F.C one the others read Friends are the family you choose for yourself If you're only happy when the sun shines, then you've never danced in the rain. Magi

I have just one magnet which my BESTEST pal bought me not long after I moved out of hubby's 'FRIENDS ARE THE FAMILY YOU CHOSE FOR YOURSELF' Yep she's family!! :O)

My daughter has one which reads 'There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with chocolate.' While they were away at a family camp, a couple of years ago, her young son came back with his face covered in chocolate (and most of the rest of him) and said: 'Mummy, the fridge magnet was right.'

I don't have any fridge magnets on my new fridge, I can't bend down the way I used to! BUT when I had a fridge/freezer we had erotic poetry especially for fridges. (There are other sets available like Shakespeare). It's a good job we were all adults in the house, although there are no anglo-saxon words there are some pretty suggestive ones! You can tell a lot about people by the way they express themselves in poetry but the erotic kind is even more revealing. Plus we were never short of friends offering to make the tea! I favoured the short funny ditties, while my daughter went in for the more flouncy/wordy odes, my husband just used to change other peoples efforts. It certainly kept us amused for quite a while. Jak
