oooooooooooooo, I LOVEEEEEEEE so many of these!! (I mean, lurveeeeeee, sorry)

First of all tho...Big Bro Michelle????? WTH??

When I was in England, Craig's Dad taught me "Bob's yer Uncle..." love that one!

I say done and dusted all the time now too, without thinking,and also everything has become the "proper" this or that without me even thinking about it. I never used to say either of those.

Swings and roundabouts is another one I like....oh and I dunno..bunch more but can't think just now..too early!!! M.

"chuft" and "knackered" are a few of the words I've picked up. There are so many and I can't think of them right now!

My grandad was a genuine cockney so I do use slang even though I don't really have the accent. I'm probably likely to be heard saying "You muppet" or "Blimey O Riley" the most though. I went to school in South East London so I can sound just like that Catherine Tate character....can't remember her friggin' name. And I swear like a trooper too often. I can't say I've picked up any American slang and gawd help us if I ever get the accent. I think the ole man will file for divorce if I do.

My most common thing is to tell Richard"Ah'll no be a meenit"

He's even starting to say that too but he often just has a glazed look if I get too Scots for him.

Lauren. "Do I look bovvered?"

Lauren. "Do I look bovvered?"

That's the one. Innit tho...

May I reiterate that I CAN sound like her, not that I DO sound like her. I'm a posh bird really.

I adore Catherine Tate's show. My favourite is the Gran. Has me in stitches, it really does.

I always say 'Come On' for weeks after I am in England...From the mazda advert that plays over and over with the little puppets!

Chris thinks it is funny....considering I complain about the commercial!

my US hubby was very confused the first time he heard me use Give Over - meaning stop it!! Not sure if this is a Northern English term or not.

I love Give over! A frequent utterance from G, who is from the Northwest!
