I recall my grandma saying: 'she's all fur coat and no knickers' 'If kelly had'nt of died they would'nt have buried him' 'charity begins at home' 'Sandwich short of a picnic' 'The lights are on but nobodys home' 'There's no smoke without fire' 'It takes two to tango'

When me or one of my friends is being quite annoying, we say; 'Don't be such a peesh'.

Reading other people's posts has just reminded me of some more of my Mum's sayings - Red hat - no drawers. (?!) Every cloud has a silver lining. It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. Look before you leap. He who hesitates is lost. Neither a borrower, nor a lender, be. Pigeons come home to roost. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Looking at all her sayings on these posts, it's a wonder my Mother ever did spout anything but quotations! >*|*<

My old aunt used to say this about anyone she considered 'up themselves' - 'She wouldn't say sh*t for sixpence' and about someone who was racing around very busy - 'Your bum is making buttonholes again' My favourite saying is- 'Never try to teach a pig to sing. You'll waste your time and annoy the pig'. :>))
