I've been shedding weight in an effort to make the car go faster!
But It will be time to celebrate the end of rationing!
Also I now have a big kettle and a powerful stove to make endless cups of tea and coffee.

Surely it would be easier to chop the roof off and make it a convertible

I'm three stone lighter this year than last, and eight inches slimmer.
So I'm sure you all will appreciate the cake all the more for that!
