Title: Fathers Day Come Early
Post by: ralphedward on September 01, 2011, 08:44:03 PM

My new child, who shall be named Aldi, has bought me early fathers day presents.  SWMBO came home today with a tyre repair kit, a LED work light and a 600W non sinusoidal inverter(which is all I need). All I need now is a pair of socks and a mug which states 'Worlds greatest Dad' this Sunday and my world is complete.

Has anyone else fared better yet!

Looking forward to a loud tie and a pair of character socks.

I whispered to my 4YO to tell mum that dad would like an iPad and a snorkel for the Prado.

After interpretation looks like I'm going to work dressed as a pirate with an iPatch and something to go with my flippers!

Already got mine too, a new Breville BCG800 Smart Coffee Grinder. Got it on special a couple of weeks ago & works a treat. Really makes grinding for the expresso machine a no brainer.

i found out last night i'm getting a new watch. i found out when at 12.00 a.m the alarm on the watch started going off. i got up thinking it was one of my watches (i have an old dress watch and a scummy work watch on the desk), but then it dawned on me it wasn't them going off. the wife then reached under the bed and turned it off....lol

I will be picking up a new 45mm lift from Fulcrom with Nitro shocks on Sunday.
It has been sitting out back at work for 3 weeks now.
I will (hopefully) install it on Tuesday...

I got an EvaKool FM55 last week. That will do for me. Although I did buy it myself and the kids had nothing to do with it I can still claim it as a fathers day gift.
I look forward to getting the hand made gifts my daughter has made for me out of card (so she tells me)
A good cuddle and a "I love you Dad" is all I really need.
Regards
