The Dogmother Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 My Dad always gets a bar of Old Jamaica as an extra preesie on Fathers Day Can you still get it? It's my father's fave too, and I remember a few years ago doing a massive trawl of the internet, and it has been discontinued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Well while the OH was away doing a triathlon at the weekend, the children and I made him a home made Fathers Day pressie - guaranteed to make him all soppy and tearful. We've made him a book called "Why we love you" and inside the children have come up with great sentences saying why they love Dad and have then drawn pictures to go with each idea. Its really sweet and most of what they came up with is fairly standard stuff 'you take us swimming' and 'I love it when you read my bedtime story' but DD who is 3 came up with the best one... "I like it when you cook becasue you make us pasta with ketchup" I had no idea about this. I do all the cooking normally (you can see why! ) but apparently whenever OH is home alone and cooks for them he cooks up some pasta, squirts ketchup all over it, and they wolf it down DD did a fab drawing in her brightest felt tips of a plate of pasta with BRIGHT RED ketchup all over it!

Hellcat Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 ... gotta be better than the friend of mine who is very status conscious. when asked what they were doing for Fathers Day she said, 'I'm thinking of getting Paulie (note the diminutive name, he's 16 stone of pure flab!) a lap top'!!
