Hello friends
During some conversations I see my Filipino wife giving me strange looks, then asking "what is Spik and span?" hehe So I thought it would be fun for the British born amongst us to post the crazy sayings and our dear Filipino partners post the translation for us - after all it is Christmas and some jolly fun is needed, so here is my list (sure more will follow when I think of them!)

Clever Clogs
Pigs will fly
Touch Wood
Half a tick
Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole
Wrong end of the stick
Part and parcel
Thick as thieves
Catch 22
Murphys law
A right sew and sew
Spik and span

Enjoy and Happy Christmas to all
Baz (Barrie) and Jaz (Jazzle)
