The Dogmother Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 It's one I always miss ! My mother does loads of reminding before Mother's day, but my dad couldn't give a fig about father's day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Oh, yikes, Fathers Day is on the same day as daughter's birthday this year. I wonder if he'd appreciate me buying him a theme park ticket, plus another 4 for daughter and her pals..... and send them all off to Thorpe Park together for a combined celebration Actually I think he'd prefer a cup of tea in bed and the rest of us out theme park all day so that he can have a quiet day at home alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 How about something that money can't buy, like: A days uninterrupted gardening/footie watching/dog walking etc Or his favourite meal cooked by doting daughter and delivered Or a pedicure (weirdly, some men really yearn for one of these) Just a thought. Not very good I know. Shutting up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 sssssssssshhhhhhhh! Keep this under your hats, in case chookiehubby logs in, but we've got him a box of chunky white kitkats off of eBay - they're his absolute favourites, and they don't seem to make them anymore. A Gold Star for chookiehen, I feel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
