You've no idea how pleased I am that someone else agrees with me and has publically admitted it. I was a bit nervous about even writing this post as people just naturally intend to take issue or see it as a personal attack, so thanks! And do we have the same SIL?! Hello Stomper Girl and welcome.

I can't tell you how much I agree with this. Perfectly put. Especially the pavlova bit. I have to confess to a slight weakness though. I don't want to do the wedding / marriage thing AT ALL despite heaps of nagging from all and sundry but i am a bit insulted that I've never been asked by anyone to marry them. You know, that my life partner could have put in a <i>bit</i> of an effort to the relationship dynamic. Even big bossy bogans like my SIL have been asked - More Than Once I might add. I'm a friend of Alison's by the way. Hi. oh my God. I can’t tell you how much I agree with this. Perfectly put. Especially the pavlova bit.

And if it's not judging it's pitying (you wouldn't believe how many people kindly reminded me that this year is a leap year as though I was being strung along by a lazy man who just hadn't got round to it yet). Thankfully though, more and more people are just starting to write me off as the weirdo of the family...

But, all too often, people love a good 'judge', don't they?
