My MiL used to say of someone who thought him/herself above others:

'Thinks himself everybody 'cos his mother's got a mangle' goodness knows where that came from. Also about a small object: 'That's a lovely little...... if it doesn't get any bigger'

Love her quotes and miss her dreadfully.

My father used say that someone was like 'A piffy up a stick!' never have been able to find out where this came from. He was from the Fens but none of my family know what a piffy is, anyone know?

My MIL used to say 'like piffy on a bun' - no idea what she meant!

Google say - piffy is sexy?!....that can't be right

Wow Ana was she from the Fens too? Oh Piffy is sexy is it. not on a stick it isn't and certainly not on a bun

George Christoph Lichtenberg

Back to the cleaning...

Flowerofthewest I've just found this when googling for piffy

Piffy on a Rock Bun

the first part is so obviously true. The second part is debatable - very debatable!

I think it was Lincoln who was attributed with the comment, "God must love ordinary people - he made so many of them!"

'Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're probably right'

We all know life can be challenging, stressful and sometimes, downright unfair. I once read,
