Dad,

I have had three extra links put in mums watch so that I can wear it with comfort, unfortunetly the links don't quite match dispite H.Samuals stirling efforts, so if you come across the three Mum had taken out hang on to them for me, the nice man has hidden the different links but it would be nice to have the origenals if they are still about.
P.S the phone at our house is totaly taken up with teenage lives this evening.
Thinking of you all the time. love Cathy

Happy birthday baby brother.

I hope you are being spoilt rotten.
I've thought of you all day, All my love Cathy xxxxx
