DIM MUM

The old ones are the best...

Dear Alfie,

I hope this finds you well. Thank you so much for my Mother's day card. I think it might have been steamed open because there was no money inside.

Please note our new address. Your Dad heard that most accidents occur within five miles of home so we thought we better move.

Thank you so much for the lovely scarf you sent me for my birthday. I had to change it for a new one because it was too tight. It's no fun being 40 I can tell you. I am determined never to be 40 ever again.

Your brother is doing really well now he's joined the army. He's only been a soldier for two weeks and they've promoted him to Court Marshall already.

I had to go to the Doctor's about my stomach pains yesterday. He asked me if I'd ever been incontinent so I told him about the two times we went to France. I don't understand why he'd wan't to know about our holidays abroad though.

Well I better go - do write back if you can.

Sorry Alfie but I meant to put a £20 note in with this letter but sealed the envelope before I remembered.

Lots of love

Mum x
