Fab fathers day pressie!

[kiltedpict]

I got a card decorated by my two wee girls and a bottle of Singleton 12 year old malt- picked by the 3yr old (she liked the colour of the box!)

Pity I spent most o the day in bed - sent home from work sick

Well my day yesterday wasn't a total wash out after all. The brief Skype message from my youngest daughter (She's 19) in the morning was repeated several times during the day off and on in 30minute sessions. She's in Scotland by the way I'm in Normandy France. So meeting face to face is difficult. She said she'd seen a card and would have sent me one but the wording on it made it read like I was dead. It said something like "I miss you so much and wish you were here with me." So I can understand her sentiments for not sending that.

Anyway I had a better day than I had this time last year.

Sorry you had no change this year from last, Mesquite but that knife looks like a good example of consolation and indulgence to me. :You_Rock_

Dave53. Yep, planning on being at The Moot. I just need to get dates sorted out and ferry tickets and BCUK payments sent. It's all got to coincide with some major events happening in my life right now. Not saying it won't happen but the planetary alignment if looking good for it happening as per my cunning plan.

PS: My offer still stands for anyone wanting an ecopy (Kindle or epub) of that book Chris the Cat got in posting no.1. g4ghb PM'ed me his email address and I emailed him a copy of it, so don't be shy, ask away.

Hey Biker, wasn't going to post but! A double result if you like? Not even a text from my 3 grown up daughters(they all live within a 10 mile journey! Nothing from my grown up boys, they both live in Australia (i have to go on Facebook, to know what any of them are doing)

Then out of the blue, a phone call from my baby, 13 year old Katie, and she took me (well i drove!) To The Dartmoor Halfway Inn, for sunday lunch(she wanted to pay, i didn't let her) A lovely card, a Shaun the sheep oven glove(as my old one is knackered) And a small decorated tin for waterproof matches etc.

So a mixed emotions day.

Ivan...

Well I got spoilt again!!

I got Collins gem books, 1 on trees the other food for free.

Pair of shorts, 2 t shirts, socks, chocolate orange and a voucher to go to the cinema.

4 hand made cards which I love very much but my favourite thing is they baked me a Father's Day cake!! It's amazing!!

Spent most of the day at a footy tournament with the oldest daughter and then had a lovely roast lamb tea at my mums!!

All in all a wonderful day!!

To you guys that didn't hear from your kids, I feel your pain, except its my dad who doesn't bother with me or my children. He lives less than a mike away, but doesn't bother with myself and his beautiful grand daughters.

He does however manage to drive 100 miles regularly to visit my brother!!

This year is the first time I have not bought him a Father's Day card, and hurt me a lot, but it had to be done!!

Any how happy Father's Day guys!!

I bought myself a Rab Generator jacket, gave it to the wife who gave it to the kids who gave it to me as a fathers day pressie, oh and two bars of chocolate, cards,and lay in till 11am,then a couple of beers in the afternoon.

 

[Nonsuch]

Bought myself a Hilleberg Nammatj 3 GT, got my dad's car back from the garage after his minor prang, and took my kids out to dinner. All on my tab, but daughter did make me and her grand father a very nice cake....

Not sure if I should hide behind the sofa or welcome you with open arms. How are you on shoulder rubs?

Hey Jacko1066, sorry about that mate, can't be easy having a Dad like that. Hope it works out someday, don't give up though.
