    Wandering round Tebay I'd want to spend loads on the yummy food. Hope the choc worked and you were less bored as the afternoon progressed.

    Blimey, there's always something poking in one's spokes. Hope your dad has a speedy recovery and is home soon.

    Best wishes for your Dad. 

    Sorry you weren't able to go canoeing.

    Hope the garage bill was better than expected.

    Fantastic news on the car.

    Knickers were cheap by comparison I imagine. 

    You should write a little kiddies book based on the pants...
