Beware of guests bearing bags of bits...Gareth's mum just wandered round bearing a large plastic bag, which turned out to contain the spare body parts of two sheep her sister had back from the abbatoir today.
So, we now have two lots of pluck boiling away on the stove, good thing we really really like haggis  Won't be finishing it today, we're going to give it the hour and a half boil then coarsly chop and freeze at that stage, ready for mincing and haggising (haggisyfying?) in a week or two.
What strange things do your mothers/mothers-in-law, or indeed, guests in general tend to bring round without due notice?

Plums, and she is probably as forgiven as yours.

Nothing that I can think of. I'd be quite impressed if one of my relations turned up with a sack of offal though.
(He's not a relation, but Jamanda's Head of Department turns up with random dead animals every so often, does that count?)

My in-laws generally turn up bearing wine and chocolate, so are welcome any time.

My mother favours curtain poles. Lots of 'em. But she usually sends them via Nick Express.

Whenever my best friend Kate comes to stay for a weekend she usually has a bag of egg boxes and empty glass jars with her. She saves them up for me

With my mother, it could be anything. And I mean anything.
A heat lamp, even though I have no access to electricity in my field.
Odd-shaped lumps of frozen somethings found lurking at the bottom of her freezer.
A shopping bag full of cracked plastic dog bowls.
Enough cutlery and crockery to open a department store.
Plastic bags!

Jars, egg boxes, chutneys & jams, fleeces, windfalls, ducks... We're a bit of a local dumping ground really!

1960s teasmades and coffee tables which they don't want any more.  I don't want them either!
