What is it about mothers and spare things. Everytime i mention something my mother says "oh i got a spare one you can have" it can be anything from a tablecloth to a pedometer, to an iron to a slow cooker. Where do they hide all this stuff, do they have spare houses to put it in |

You could play 'spare one bingo'.
Think up something obscure and drop it into conversation and see if she has one.
'I'm going shark hunting next week mum'
'ooo, I think I have a spare spear gun somewhere dear..'  |

lol My MIL drives me potty with that.
the other thing she does is thinks she has to give us everything out of her cupboards when we visit, and if I dare say I liked something I would be made to take it home.....mind you, even if I say I don't like something she makes me take it home 
Hmmm maybe they think we are the tip to get rid of what they don't want Diamonds?  |

lol We have dinner sets in a two tone brown and beige haha/ a cutlery set that is so heavy you can't use, tablecloths when I don't use one... quilt covers/ duvets/ a hedgehog shoe thingy.
Last week we visited and ended up with catalogues for old womens fashion and shoes,( think she is trying to tell me something? )3 pints of silver top milk , Thankyou cards and envelopes, half a pack of ham and a cauliflower.
If we say, it's ok, you have them, we get a dirty look so we just give in now 
She is a lovely woman though, just thinks we need all her stuff |
