I always asked "what have we got for dinner today?" And was told "nothing for you but sawdust and hay" this was apparently from the woodentops, dont know where yours is from though! 
Ma mum would say "A rin roon the table" (a run round the table)
My in-laws used to say sh*t and sugar pie!!! 
my mum used to say "Two jumps at' pantry door - see if you can reach the lock!"

My Nana, from Yorkshire, used to say "puff puddin' " (pronounced poof) - if you asked what it was (which was expected) she'd say "run 'round n'round t'table till yet get puffed".
