If she spends all her time cleaning she will be too busy to do the cooking and ironing properly. </p> antharrison on "Shops report record sales of bleach and washing powder in run-up to mother's day" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=881#post-166385 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 01:22:14 +0000 antharrison 166385@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>BUMP - at least I thought it funny, and it happens again on Sunday.</p> <p>Love to all. </p> malgor on "Shops report record sales of bleach and washing powder in run-up to mother's day" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=881#post-2265 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:23:26 +0000 malgor 2265@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Bless.

It's great that she can also use them straight away to wash all the pots and pans after she's cooked the mother's day lunch."</p> <p>Even though Saunders himself has not yet bought his wife and mother a present yet he is pretty relaxed "Ahmed's our local newsagent opens at 6am tomorrow and I can always pop-out while the women are still asleep, and the great news is that Domestos is on two for the price of one at present. I just hope he hasn't sold out of mother's day cards again like he has for the past 11 years." </p>
