Oh my gosh Evelyn! You're talking my English now! Growing up, I always had a cuppa with my brekkie, wore my togs to go swimming, and to this day, I put petrol in my vehicle, when everyone else puts in "gas" it is fun jotting down the differences. Okay, well have a good time in school today "mate" and keep up the good work on your blog, it's fairly brilliant! Love you! Mum xx
