:O) I don't think my mam would have gone along with making fresh coffee
for an eight year old. We did have a coffee machine and my son has one
now, but it did something to my tummy, specially the smell. I have
always had an aversion to strong smells.

Heh, I put sterilised them and put them in a bag, then thought of
somewhere the kids wouldn't stumble on them. Of course next time he was

Isn't it a court thing? Sometimes this mind of mine just refuses to go
into search mode (a bit like my computer) but for some reason I get

I introduced my eldest grandchild to the delights of tex Avery the other
