Got that one.....
is that the one which says that 'casual decoration' means a magazine on the coffee table, not a sock on the mantelpiece?
And I also recall one which discusses the argument as to whether to rinse ahead of putting in the dishwasher or not bother, and says you should "scrape off large residues (like a chicken carcase) but not bother with the rest"
That's the very one! I had a good giggle this morning glancing through it for a suitable quote or two.
The 'sock on the mantelpiece' thing is so true of family life, when you're so fed up telling people to take things upstairs you just give in and stop noticing it.
My own mother used to have fits where she would stomp round the table throwing various things on the floor, saying "and you can put THAT away, and you can put THAT away, and you can put THAT away....".
It took me years to realise that in fact she wasn't mad
