Willy Wonka has gone on vacation I’m taking over from him for a while I’ve developed a couple of products and I hope that they’ll make you smile! I’ve created a range of ‘round-to-it’s they are essential for jobs that need doing Like the tap that’s been dripping for ever (It might stop the old cow from mooing!) Just stick a round-to-it doodah on tasks that you’ve put off for so many years then it’ll stop the old gal from nagging and give relief from her bending your ears! My ‘mummy minutes’ can last for a long time so I’ve developed a phenomenal time piece when your children are constantly pestering my timepiece will bring much needed peace! This watch extends the time they are waiting glance at the dial and you’ll see all the data then sit back and relax, have some me time tell the kids you’ll attend to them later!

I have gathered a number of round-to-it’s over the years. I’m running out of places to hide them. This was so much fun Jan, a personal favourite from this contest. Congrats and a big hug.

I remember 'Round Tuits', my mom always had one or two around the house. Glad to know you'll be making these to help me with my procrastination! Love your wit and "my timepiece will bring much needed peace" pun! Best wishes my friend ~ John

Is "Tuit" pronounced like, "Twit"? I suspect an answer within a mum's minute, clever girl! Aloha! Rico
