is it a woman thing?
I can't buy any more pickles/chutneys etc until I start to finish open jars in the fridge.
I also can't add more DIY jobs to the list until some of the jobs that have been on there for four years have been done and crossed off.
when I'm in a shop and see some alcohol that I'd like, that I don't have (?!) - she says, there's plenty of alcohol already at home, no need to buy any more, so I need to start drinking some things before I can buy a bottle of Drambuie!
