A family saying is 'Miss Nicholson's dead'.

One of my dd's teachers died about 8 years ago after she had left senior school, so I told her that it had happened

The day after I told her again, and then later that same day I said "i've got some sad news..."

About a week later I said "oh, I've not told you..."

So now whenever anyone repeats themselves we say "Miss Nicholson's dead"

It gets said to me an awful lot sad

I say "Pigs in fields" when I'm angry. No idea where this comes from.

Last night I said something which I thought afterwards, how stupid it was. I have been saying it for years. I don't know if I invented it myself or heard it somewhere else. The saying is:
'I was sweating tin hats and dog biscuits'.
Does anyone else say this, or do you have your own 'silly sayings'?
