I am sick of the boiler ''[gestures to her husband]'' and the vouchers ''[her sister]'' and the fountain pens ''[her daughter]'' and the bastardin' Pop Tarts ''[her niece]''! I am sick of the fact that I am responsible for everything in this house, you useless, useless shites! Enough is enough. You can all sort yourselves out for once!
