I am sure we have to have a similar saying, but I can't think one right now.
Local expressions or idioms are so fun. For example, when you want to tell someone that you are too angry and not in the mood of being disturbed, here we say "el horno no está para bollos", which literally means "the oven is not ready for bollos". Now, as far as I know, bollos are the name used in other Latin America countries for quite small breads, but we don't use that word. We use the word "bollos" for several other things, but not one related with ovens. So, the expression is never used in its literal sense in Argentina.

*Huggles back* Hi Di-Di n_n !
Yes, idioms are very fun. *Chuckles* I like that expression XD . And I get it, it kind of means your overworked, tired, exhausted, you just need a brake. I like that n_n . I can't think of a similar expression we have in English, don't think there is one.
@Arjan: Well yes, usually we say our saying at something or someone when we're pissed off at them/it and are about to do something that will lead to cuts and bruises XD. In the context, it means your done screwing around and are about to get serious.
Two washing Machines?? That seems a little hard to believe. I've head of people with washers and dryers, but never two washing machines.
@PD: Yo n_n !

People must make good money then. That's exspensive on every level.

Good maen, everyone! Busy today, so of course when I came here I discovered that I missed everyone. Glad to see you back, PD!
I've heard rumors of a couple of families with two washing machines, but I can definitely vouch for one of them. It was almost cheating, because the grandma had moved to her daughter home to help with the children (5 I believe) and she took her own machine with her. So sometimes they used both machines at the same time, but not always. That way they could sort the white clothes from the other ones.
Apparently we are going to buy churros today. Despite what you may think, I have not eat them in several weeks so I am looking forward to it. Argentinian churros, unlike Spaniard ones, are filled with dulce de leche. I don't remember what is the case with Mexican ones.

Found it on a Dutch site. Dutch farmers with a strict religious background and ten children.
