Answer 1

If you have kids say they got sick.  If not, tell your boss that you had car problems or a friend needed your help at the last minute because they got kicked out of their house without any warning.

Answer 2

You could tell your boss that you are thinking redoing your bathroom(kitchen, bedroom, whatever) and the contractor was going to come over around that time to do a quote for you.  

You could also say that as you were getting ready to leave a family member popped in to say hi and stayed for a couple of hours and you didn't have the heart to tell her she had to leave.  

Maybe you could say you were reading a book and totally lost track of time.  

Usually honesty is the best way though.  

Answer 3

say that my car broke down

Answer 4

Just be honest, say you were tired or something.

Avoid anything too extravegant eg i was caught by a pack of tigers on the way home so spent the weekend recovering!
