Someone once told me that no matter where you relocate to, no matter how many times you move, you will always end up living 15 minutes away from your mother-in-law.
This afternoon Kerry’s parents put in an offer on a house on the other side of Huddersfield and it was accepted. If all goes smoothly they will be moving up North by the end of January. Flowers, sympathy cards, and other general condolences can be sent to me at my usual address.
Why do they bury mothers-in-law 18 feet down, when everyone else is buried 6 feet down?
Because, deep down, they really are very nice people.
But seriously folks, we’re really very lucky that they have decided to move nearer us. Amy adores them, and will now have both sets of grandparents just a short drive away - a luxury both Kerry and I never had. Kerry is very close to her mum and dad, and to be honest I couldn’t really ask for better in-laws.
That hasn’t stopped me googling for more mother-in-law jokes though.

You’re very lucky. My in-laws are horrible… Very critical, no support, no love. We see them about once a year and that’s enough.
The worst part is that they show no interest in their grandkids. Well, maybe that’s the best part.

Well who just might be getting the Les Dawson book of mother-in-law jokes in his Christmas stocking?

It’s strange, my mother-in-law has always reminded me of Les Dawson
