'bits and drabs' ... dribs and drabs
I'm more familiar with the latter of the two, Jackie. It sounds like 'bits and drabs' is a combination of 'bits and pieces' and 'dribs and drabs'.
I use the word 'tad' a lot... or a tad, as the case may be. I think it's one of those 'hard to apply a quantity to' words. I saw a cooking show last night where the chef tried very unsuccessfully to quantify terms like dash, tad, sprinkle and pinch, for recipes. It seems they are all relative, or contextual ... or sumfin'.
