You can't have your cake and eat it too!

I mean... what else are you supposed to do with it? It's a cake!

Your point is understandable. But it actually makes perfect sense: you can either covet your cake or eat it but can't do both. Once you've eaten it you no longer have it.

She's no better than she ought to be.

I had to explain that to someone who spoke English as a second language. It caused much confusion.

If you buy two cakes you can eat one and still have one

That does make sense.

You are blinded and involved so much by one thing that you can't see anything else despite it being obvious.

Surely it's take your coat off or you won't feel the benefit when you go outside???

The saying was originally you can’t eat your cake and have it too. It got garbled somewhere along the way.

That makes sense. What you have is worth more than what you don't and might not have

"If I don’t see you through the week, I’ll see you through a window."

My Nan used to say that. Means they might not physically talk to you but they’ll still see you going about your business from their home, meaning they know you are alive

"Cast ne'er a clout till May be out."

That's solid sage advice apparently! Don't go taking off layers of clothes because it looks warm, there's bound to be a shit spell lurking to catch you and make you put that layer back on again (certainly in the Ne corner of Scotland, it's more like bbq weather by that time down south!!).

And even more will see it as a challenge, or to do it in defiance
