So very VERY boring, married (need rescuing by knight in shining armour with huge bank balance and tricky ticker) old woman with 2 kids (Theo aged 16 and Ysabella aged 13) and a barking mad, very OLD, husband - no improvement there. Collection of cats, dead gerbils and absolutely no goldfish whatsoever. Ask me anything else you want to know, and I might tell you.
.......probably not - however when I rang to see how things were at home today, I got short shrift (no, I have no idea what that means either - ask my granny)

A shrift is a confession usually to a priest, so short shrift is a little confession, presumably. Although we had a shrift shop when I was small where mother took our clothes. We'd grown out of so I always assumed short shrift was because the clothes were by definition always to small for me. I hope that helps........
Well thank you Mike DH. It was my Catholic granny that used to say it, my Jewish granny's little sayings were even more incomprehensible.
