Thank you ulysses,
I did think of notions for the second one, but I couldn't see how it fit!

I'd never heard of that meaning of 'notions' but I've checked and it's correct.
no·tion (nshn)
n.
1. A belief or opinion.
2. A mental image or representation; an idea or conception.
3. A fanciful impulse; a whim. See Synonyms at idea.
4. notions Small lightweight items for household use, such as needles, buttons, and thread.

Thank you factor30,
I've never heard of it! I tried various sites but couldn't get it.

Thanks again to both of you
