I got a Stubbie holder, "I see Drunk People" and a freddo frog from my puppies. I did treat myself at a garage sale with a lot of bit's and pieces including a dial indicator and magnetic stand, outside micrometer, a few carter 2" G clamps, most a Au Stanley No 3 (still deciding if I will replace the missing bits or not), a Mitutoyo Inside Micrometer Set (now Matrix'), Metric Thread gauge, another plastic vernier caliper etc.

A list of things that "need to be done today." :rolleyes:

The highlight was pulling the cistern off the dunny wall to chase up some errant leaks, followed by fixing some fence palings.

Roll on Mothers' Day, I say! :devilred:

A pair of barbie tongs, a John Grisham book, a calculator with big numbers so I can read them, a toiletry bag for the gym, a new bosch detail sander :2tsup: and a home made screwdriver rack. :2tsup: :2tsup: (cause my darling made it for me).

I'd have done a lot better if I had more than one child :D.

I got hugs and kisses. Scrambled eggs. shed time. This little cardboard cutout of a tie with 'happy fathers day' written on it, that my 5 year old made for me. She stuck it to my neck with sticky tape.....and forgot it was there all day...... Clicked latter why everyone was smiling at me at the shops when I went for milk.

there's certainly some very spoilt (lucky) Dad's on here :;

I've been looking at the Ozzie dowelling jig but was a bit unsure about spending so much on it. Apparently SWMBO picked up on this but the timing didn't quite work out unfortunately so I got a photocopy of the posted order form that was sent off and to hang on t till the jig arrives :woot: :woot:

My 11yo Daughter was a bit dissappointed, she had learnt to make an omelette so she could cook one for me but I've recently started a diet but I quickly assured her the diet could be put on hold for the day :roll: .

I got to cook, wash up, clean, launder.
Hang on! I get that every day.
#5 granddaughter was thinking of me. She got me a big mug.
But I did get a $100 Trade Tools voucher which should buy everything I need, or be a deposit on something I want.:D
