My Mum is one of the funniest people you could wish to meet
She's 80 now and over the past few years she has started getting her words mixed up.

I guess we all will in time, but not like my Mum, she's the best and has us all in fits of laughter,

Everytime she gets something wrong, down it goes on the notice board.
I've told her many times that I'm going to write a book about her mixed up words but this is an even better way.

Years ago she used to like watching the Winifred Osprey Show what she meant was Oprah Winfrey.

She called to see me one day and said 'I've had a terrible migraine this morning so I had to take one of those Microwave tablets you gave me. She meant Migralieve, and I said 'I bet that's warmed you up a bit'

Someone passed away near to her that she said had died of Ginseng flu instead of Beijing flu.

She's such a character I never know what she's going to come out with next.

Like the lady who has had to start wearing continental pads and, here's a couple of good ones: someone was decorating but she didn't say they were using dulux paint or that they were having a dado rail. I will leave that to your imagination as to what she really said.

But thaws my Mum, her name is Elsie and I love her very much
So there Mum I told you I would do - and I HAVE.
