Father's Day

[Cliff Rogers]

Happy Father's Day (you too Gumby) :D

So what did you all get?

I got an SMS from my Daughter who just got a flat near Wimbledon. :)

[Doughboy]

My five year old got me jocks and socks:rolleyes: and my 4 week old puked on my shoulder....:confused:

All in all could not ask for a better day:D :D

Hmm, lemme see:

I got attacked by the bandsaw (ref other post) :mad:
Had to mow the lawn :(
Had to rearrange the deck and vacuum the dog hair out from under it :cool:
Watched The Cave with squealing girls :eek:
Got a hug from my little girl :)

Yup, a good day - ended on a high note! (no tools, though I was given the Blues Brothers DVD)

[Gumby]

absolutely nothing. (true)

We never worry about it. It's a wank. :cool:

My 4 year old daughter, the little sweetheart, drew up a picture of a handsaw,,,,,coloured it in,,,,,cut it out and wrote on it

' Your the best dad I ever SAW' . I stuck it up on the wall.

My 8 year old said ....'happy fathers day dad,,,can I have 5 bucks'

My wife was kind to me .....she cooked me lamb chops for tea, which I demolished..... tryed to milk this fathers day thing for all its worth, but she was tired.....so I'm on the computer again.

[Doughboy]

Lol Apricotripper I tried the same thing and the answer I got was that it is fathers day not husbands day!!!!

Someone needs to change the name

Had a great day, Daughter rang and sang Happy Fathers day to me, later she rang back so my grandsons could say "Happy fathers day". Was good...

THEN.....

My sons didn't bother at all and when I dropped the dog back to my wifes I found her screwing the town weirdo in the shed..... I had a wonderful bluddy day!

[Daddles]

I had a great father's day.

Morning - the kids at their mother's place with my gf by my side :D

Lunch with MY Dad. Took him shopping for his pressy and he bought a bag of fertilizer and some bug killer (makes a change from the bag of screws he usually wants):rolleyes:

Arvo - collected my lad from his mother and came home to watch history shows on tele and then Terminator 3.:D

The little miss? I get her tomorrow arvo :(

I got woken up at 6.30 with 5 year old daughter singing happy fathers day and then getting a best dad coffee cup and chocalates.
my better half gave me $20 and i got to cook bacon and eggs for my self and daughter (the wife can only handle coffee in the morning) and the afternoon was spent watching my nephew win the u16 grand final in soccer against kahiba
then called in for dogwatch at work for overtime 3rd one this fortnight:D

[Flowboy]

Hi,

The Fur family, (3 cats) meowed "Happy Father's Day" in unison.

I made a Jarrah Coffee table.

Napped in the Afternoon.

Had Meatloaf (not the singer) for tea.

Asleep at 8:30PM

Rather boring considering everyone else's day!

Regards,

Rob

And bar-humbug to commercial Christmas too :) - but having said that i am not going to miss a golden opportunity to enhance my present collection with nothing - lucky dad got a pair of socks from SWMBO and a pair of socks from daughter and a pair of socks from bub.

Then out of the blue came a group present bought from them all - two rosewood timber markers and a triton superjaws with log grip attachments. WOW :D

And yes I did buy the last few items to give the tribe to give to me :D , but in the true spirit of fathersday I did leave the timber markers in the airfreight bag from timbecon till they were unwrapped on fathersday and I did do my best to forget i got the superjaws in the study (hidden :rolleyes: ) till the majic day.

We had a lovely day out picnic - kick ball - bushwalk etc. I like fathers day.

Phoned dad etc etc.

My HWMBO had a lovely day with his elder daughter, an impromptu dinner with friends and a few drinks together.

My Dad loved his ottoman but was absolutely stoked with the 4 empty plastic milk bottles I'd saved for him :rolleyes: (he uses them for a small watering system for his favourite plants)

Dad-IL would have worn one of his two new leather belts but the belts are still a little toooo big for him:o . All in all a great day.

Cheers
Wendy

Guess I qualify these days - the furrys (2 dogs 2 cats) got me some DVDs, and the little-one-in-waiting got me a toy train so I'd be able to test some wood train track :D

The 2 1/2 of us then headed to Sandown to watch the V8s. Pity it didn't rain - nothing like the sight of twisted metal :D

[silentC]

Got up at 1/4 to 8 (slept in a bit), had breakfast, pulled down the tent and packed all the gear, then walked for 3 hours to where we left the car the day before. Drove home, had lunch, had a spa, then watched a silly kid's movie (Madagascar).

When the kids came back from their Aunty's, I got a box of plastic dominoes with a brown hanky wrapped around it (haven't had one of them since I was a kid) from my son (he picked it). Daughter gave me the DVD of Pulse (Pink Floyd concert). Went to Mums for tea. Watched part 2 of Touch of Frost. Went to bed.

[Phil Spencer]

My youngest daughter gave me a BBQ set and thanked me for a life time of unconditional support, love and friendship and for being the best dad a girl could hope for:) . My eldest daughter boycotted the day altogether and kept the grand children away.

Mixed bag I guess.:confused:

[Iain]

Bit late but, got taken out for lunch and had to pay:confused: box of nose robes from daughters, they seem to mysteriously vanish over the course of the year, sleazed in with some camphor laurel that SWMBO doesn't know about and a couple of videos from SWMBO, Hancocks half hour, she thinks I like them but haven't had the heart to tell her I don't.

[silentC]

Wot's a "nose robe" then?

[Iain]

Solly, handkerchiefs:cool:

Aint love grand :)

Actually it reminds me of the Tom Jones CD I bought for my wife a few years ago. We had a garage sale before we left Sydney and there was Tom in the $2 pile. I thought there must've been some mistake but no, she hates him and could never understand why I bought it for her :o

[Bluegum]

With baby bluegum due in January I'm going to have a fair bit of time to put my order in. Plenty of time for plenty of hints

[Cliff Rogers]

Had an 'Uncle's day' today... while their Mum & Dad had a night out & a day at the races, we cleaned up the banana patch, hooned around on the tractor & then went to the shed to do some turning. :D :D :D
I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

The good thing about nieces & nephews is that they go home, eventually. :D

[Cliff Rogers]

The bowl is Sarsaparilla.
The Mallet is a Silky Oak handle & a Blue Gum head.

The Bowl is still very wet so is rough turned.
We will finish it next month.

Bet you are a popular visit, Uncle Cliff.
