    Because
    a) The builders have been on site for last month
    b) You've been in bed for 2 days
    and
    c) The kids have run riot in your absence
    You look like sh##, feel like sh### .......What is the worst phonecall you could get?

    Correct

    Half hours notice.
    Not been dressed since I crawled into bed on Saturday. Great. Mother in Law & Sister in Law.
    First thing she says
    "You still poorly"
    "Yes"
    "Oh well, we're dropping in in half an hour".

    Magic. Can't wait.

    Now there's an idea.....
    I'm inclined to just pretend to be asleep but I doubt I'll get away with it.

    It's ok they've gone

    Apart from telling me which order to redecorate the house in, telling me our smoke alarms are "in stupid places", and passing off my idea to redesign the downstairs as her own, I had a lovely chat with my sister in law.
    Especially the bit when she told me I looked like S###. (furious)

    You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, you can pick your friends nose but...

    ... you can't pick your family.
