Tooth Fairy


He got £1 from the tooth fairy
In my day we got an old fashioned thrippeny Bit

WHOOPPEE

Today is the first day that we have managed to go shopping. We dug out the car which was parked at the bottom of West Lillands , and drove to Tesco for various bits of Shopping. White Wine and Toilet Rolls were top of the agenda. We then went for Petrol. We go the Shell Garage which is in Wakefield Road. The petrol is 1p per litre dearer than at Tesco but the Garage is owned by some Asian Friends of ours and it is private enterprise.
