French Madame

Familiar for "you are such a fruit eater!"
Explanation:
Something you say when you open the fridge and discover that your husband has eaten the last half rotten banana and the last  dessicated orange while he was watching one of the old Rambo film, broadcasted during holidays, that you didn �t watch because after having done the christmas meal and repeated a hundred times to your kids that "no, Santa won �t come back next weekend" and "no, you can �t sleep with your brand new bike in your bed"  and "no, Uncle Joe wasn �t drunk, he was just happy to see you but very tired, that �s why he fell asleep on the sofa before having tasted the Christmas pudding prepared by Mummy!", well, you just went to sleep and...slept...

Wow, I think this sentence is a bit too long...(or is it Christmas time which is too long ?)
Well, let �s see how the new year eve takes place...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL and ...all the best for year 2011!

Mich�le: Thumbs Up and missK:LOL

In fact it is a very sophisticated word for a very ordinary thing: compost ( used fruit sanctuary! )

this is the new slogan of the fruit factury in my neighbourhood:

"us - u - fructuary" meaning "our and your fruit factory"
 Mich�le, if you are thinking about buying some fruits, I recommend usufructuary Wink
