Its a old saying Grist, like you have not made it easy for yourself, what you have done you can't go back on, so you make a rod for your own back, don't say it to your lass, she may know what it means, & string you up from the nearest lamp post.

I think it with mother-law, I went in chemist for prescriptions pick up, i said to chemist have you any sleeping tablets, chemist said why can't you sleep, I said i can sleep ok, they are for mother-in-law she's woken up, chemist staff thought it was funny, but our lass didn't when I told her.
