Not quite an utterance but,
It's nephew Oli's birthday this week, and we'd been asked to contribute to a new bike for him
Anyway, the family up the road where selling off their boys' bikes, so my sister has picked up a bike for him now, and a bike for him when he's 10, all in one go!
This means our cash contribution is superfluous for the bike, but she rang to ask me if it was ok to use it to buy something he'd requested:
Knee and Elbow pads!
Bless him, he's never been as confident at balance as his younger brother, so I think it's a very sensible wish!
