You are your wife's dad?

Don't judge

Present for being an awesome Dad! Are you saying you're not an awesome Dad? 😉

A four pack of tile. I'll never lose my keys again. Or the kids.....

You are your wife's dad?

His profile says he is from Hampshire. The Isle of Wight is in Hampshire. Just sayin!

Cards and a bar of chocolate from the children, they're also playing nicely while I get over a scrumpy induced sore head 😀

Bars of chocolate and breakfast in bed.

A GnR mug and the DVD of 1:Life on the Limit

They seem to know me well!

Very lucky father, got two tickets to this ➡

Nukeproof pedals (that I bought) and a bottle of whiskey that I didn't.

Proper boots for walking the Dog! And a beard care kit! 😆

Very happy as I'm normally up to my knees when walking the dog!

DHD - Nice one!

It could turn out to be a close season once again........

Yeh ben looks like it. Come on the G.O.A.T 😉

A lovely card my daughter (9) did at school listing why she thinks I'm great. Taking her out on her bike, telling bad jokes and cuddles that make her feel special were all on the list!

Lad (13) is about to get back from a weekend Scout camp. He'll give me an unintelligible grunt and a big pile of stinking muddy washing. About 8.30 tonight he'll spot his sister's card and try and remember where he put his.

Chateau Musar
Box of wine gums

From #1 - inspired choices, especially to go for wine from the Bekkar Valley and one of my fav's

Seeing #2 later

I got a drawing that my 3yr old daughter did of me and her made into a tshirt. Love it.

and a Dudeism car sticker

Tiredness. Daughter had a sleepover party last night.

Same as my 30th birthday... naff all! Last time I sort the kids out for mothers day.....

Cheers, Steve

Couple of bottles of IPA, chilling in the fridge, and a card
"Dear my Mate,
Hope you have an excellent day and enjoy the beer
Love J"
Left with my work gear as I had a 4.30am alarm for early start at work this morning, bit dusty first thing at ours, just finished work so hurrying home now.

Two bottles of hobgoblin
Three bars of dark chocolate
A T-Shirt
A sponge and two sachets of turtle wax (with a promise from the kids that they will clean the car)

Very smart Paul Smith watch for best. We live five minutes from the Purity brewery, so Mrs LJ popped in and also picked me up eight bottles of UBU. I'll be making a start on those with my roast dinner tonight. 😛

Pair of Endura Singletrack gloves (I think the wife had input!!!) and a pair of Minion socks ( I think the wife had no input!!)

Nowt so far. Unless you count the passes to go riding then just lie there eating scones and watching F1.

Three home made cards (one from each of them),
A family picture,
A load of chocolate,
A proper family Sunday roast.

I can only presume I get to open my new Nomad CC after tea as I can't find it anywhere. I hope the kids took note of all my hints.

A surprise visit from No1 Son yesterday to let me know that the parcel arriving this week addressed to him is for me! I suspect that it will contain a nice new pair of chainsaw gloves that I've been hinting about.

A cup of tea and a gorgeous card- and a nice bottle of Rich Oak Glenfiddich from Boy #2.

We are all off for a meal later too 🙂

Ladybird book of The Dad, several bottles of different beers and a Wile E. Coyote dvd. Plus a big hug from my son (23) which was awsome

Couple of shirts and a pair of shorts for holiday.

However, it was my birthday last weekend and got spoiled rotten with a new pair of prescription Oakleys and a HRM strap so no complaints!

Isto - That's a great t-shirt, brilliant idea!

Lots of Ale talk going on here, too. My brother-in-law had a keg for his BBQ yesterday, Suthwyk (Southwick) Old Dick. It was very good.

I managed to get a couple of pints of Beavertown Gamma Ray in as well from a local pub, that was a treat!

I got a Health conscious fry up for brekkie, a ukulele , some superdry bits, lunch at zizzi then back home to watch the F1 drinking some Japanese blue beer......which was alright....I watched most of the race

Then passed out 😀

I got taken to Ikea. Wondering if she wants rid of me. 😕

I got taken to Ikea.

*shudders*

I got a nice shirt and some liquorice. Then I went out and bought a new self-propelled petrol lawn mower to replace the cheap electric one I have been swearing at for the past three years. Cut the grass this afternoon - took half the time and I barely raised a sweat.

A 46cm paella pan from the eldest & a bottle of Jura Superstition from the youngest.

8 cans of diet coke
Mini lego Star Wars x-wing
Peppa Pig book.
The wife also let me dig holes and postcrete fence posts in. Lucky me.

Hand made cards from my 8,5 and 2 year olds, some ale, an OS map and a Vertebrate guide to the North Dales. Spent the day in Whitby. Happy with that!

A big Toblerone, a chocolate orange, a bag of M&Ms, a box of heroes, two packets of biltong, an iTunes voucher, a rock (that looks suspiciously like it came out of the rockery) with 'My Dad Rocks' painted on it, and possession of the remote control on my return home from work.

Naturally the little one has scoffed the M&Ms, the middle one is halfway through the Toblerone, 'How To Train A Dragon' is on the TV instead of the F1, and I'm heading back to town later to pick the big one up 😀

A big box of All Gold Dark from my kids 4 & 7, which is great in some ways because I am the only one who likes dark chocolate so they were being truly selfless. However I am not sure I will be able to finish the whole box...

Nipped out for a ride and came back to 2 bottles of IPA - yay!

A book full of pictures of the little one and some screwdrivers, that's me happy

Oh, and a big cuddle and a go of her car garage toy

Ladybird book of the Dad here too, and a pass to do a metric century for the first time in about 20 years.

My kids are 22, 21 and 17.

Got two quality clamps (one from each of the elder two) and then hinge drills and some pozi bits from the youngest.

Just what I asked for.

Plus a decent lunch with the wife while we went to the local book festival (jazz in the afternoon and Phill Jupitus talking about stuff). And the youngest drove us there/back 🙂

I specifically asked for no money to be spent on me and they did (this is not me being a grumpyarse but I'm not in favour of endless consumerism) but Mrs Ed drove back from FinLaws and we drank great wine. That was what I wanted.

3yo found the card she made and gave it to her mum 😀

Pretty much received nothing here.
A card (only the one, and ripped where she'd removed the price), eldest's school does a pocket money fathers day gift bazaar type thing, so I received a box of minging chocolates and a chilli-salt mill... TBF the chilli salt might well come in handy.

Then my missus took me to brunch (at her favourite place), booked tickets for a circus (I had clearly stated I had no interest in going to), and then we went to my MIL for dinner (so she didn't have to cook)... Now the weather's turned shite in order to scupper my evening ride plans.

And other Dads are getting motoGP tickets and posh whiskey?

I am unimpressed...

I'm gonna waste some money on wiggle, that'll learn her!

No cards or gifts from my three, we all went on a nice ride over my local trails and then home for a lovely meal with my dad.

What more could you ask for.

Got a little bottle of whiskey and some chocolate but best of all were the coupons that my 9 year old son made - 10 coupons that I can cash in any time such as:

"A bike ride together in any park and of your choice"
"Watching your choice of film together"
"A walk together"
"Playing fifa together" etc.. 😀

A Hay Designs kitchen roll dispenser as I'm always bitching about the old one we have in the kitchen, a selection of Williams Brothers Beers (just sunk a Good Times) and an IPA from Bollington Brewery. Also some Motezumas dark chocolate buttons (world class) and lunch bought for me with a couple of pints. World class day. Thanks Girls! 😆

Did my first triathlon this year, and my running medals are sitting in a pile in my office, so this rather thoughtful present
[img] [/img]

3 homemade cards and various drawings, a few bottles of leffe blonde and a cake.
The big ride I had planned for this morning was scuppered by the lashing rain so had a lay in.

Five bottles of Brewdog and a bag of broken glass in an inch of beer. I suspect one of the kids is destined to be a airport luggage handler.

Isto is definitely winning. That is such a cool idea!!!! 🙂

I got breakfast in bed (sausage butty) along with the observer, delivered by the girls this morning. And also a nice bottle of Rioja. Managed to resist the urge to wash the sausage butty down with the Rioja. - just - as I had to drive later. Otherwise I'd still be in bed, shouting random stuff, like Father Jack!

ARSE!!! 😀

The one on the right.

Wera Hex Keys. Nice. 😀

My kids are 28,25 and 21, had some local brummie beers, local pickles (yum) and a new pair of in ear, ear phones 🙂 ... very happy dad

My 3 year old (with help from my wife) bought me some Lego Duplo. My wife buys Father's Day presents that my son and I will play with together (last year it was Brio track), as a result we spent most of the afternoon building stuff (including a tower taller than the 3 year old) 😆

Beer - yorkshire and Scottish of course.
Fudge (as the brand is my name and sins name)
Coffee cake, homemade by son.

[img] [/img]

A fine selection of beers from my daughter and a fully bespoke, one of a kind Lego Groot off my boy. Groot keyring too. Very happy dad.

In our shop Mothering Sunday is the busiest day of the year. Father's Day has gained momentum in the last 2 years but the amount of money and effort expended by the ladies on their children's father is pitiful.
Dads , you still have just over an hour to make up the difference.

A couple of pottery things painted up at a local craft shop, homemade cards and an apron listing the food/meals that they like me making for them.

Then a meal in their favourite restaurant - a curry house 🙂

My work here is done.

I got a rucksack. Actually I got the rucksack that my other half (kids are very young) got a refund from my last birthday present. Scenario :

1) Get a rucksack for birthday
2) Issue with rucksack
3) Other half gets a refund for said rucksack with issue
4) Get new rucksack for father's day

Basically, then, I got my last birthday present for father's day 😯

[img] ?v=1462889167[/img]
And a box of assorted beer mostly pale ales

Cordless screwdriver from my 16 year old. I did ask for it too 🙂

Though she'd arranged to go to her boyfriends, without a thought that we may be doing stuff, so the wife and I went out to [url= http://singl-end.co.uk/ ]Singl-end[/url] hipster cafe for 'trying too hard to be quirky' breakfast.

it was nice though.

normal service resumed later, wetherspoons chicken and rib combo..

watched the rain,
watched a couple of films.
played with the dog.

I lost a few coolness points with my four year old when he discovered that I wouldn't be going out to play with all the other dads on father's day..

I think he imagines it's like some sort of pride festival or sci-fi convention

Spent the day cooking and running around like a blue arsed fly due to sons 3rd Birthday. Little bugger had the audacity to be born close enough to fathers day to ensure they always clash. WOuldn't mind but the daughter was born 2 days after my birthday - this means no birthday either!

New roadie shorts and jersey.

Plus a ride with me.

I was released into the wild for a couple of hours first thing on my bike, which is a real treat nowadays.

Came home to a bag of peanut butter M&M's and Pretzel M&M's . Ooh they know me so well.

Wife had a hangover due to gin tasting session at the local Book Festival on saturday, So I got up early, walked dog, made breakfast for everyone then cracked on with the laundry. Fixed the broken shower then tidied up the kitchen. Wife then had studying to do so I took the lad along to his 4 hour football tournament which concluded with rain. Tried to entertain the other two, bored, kids whilst football was going on. Got home, cooked dinner, tidied house, did the rest of the laundry and got kids off to bed.

I got a card and a DVD.

Not that I am complaining or anything.....

Brunch for nine, a lovely dog walk with the extended family, then dinner and watch the European GP with my new step-father. Married 13 days and now a widower. Those pink socks are ever more relevant.

Oh and I have a bike book at home I chose a few weeks ago.

I was working yesterday so my two, 8 and 12, came and helped. So they helped build the pumptrack, kept me fed and watered and showed the other kids how to ride it when I started to get a bit hoarse. Finished the day with a takeaway curry and fell asleep on the sofa together.

Chocs, brandy and a good old feed including homemade lemon drizzle cake that was proper nom.

Afternoon included an hour on local trails whereupon 5 yr old monkey jnr got his first air!

I think pads and maybe a FF helmet are on the cards.

and

2 hours lie-in to nurse the hangover from hell.

The opportunity to get the hangover from hell whilst wifey went home to relieve the babysitter.

That's amazing Spacemonkey Jr!

I got an Edwin Jagger razor after Cougar made me feel inferior about my £3.99 dual edge on a thread the other week. So far, so bleedy! Alum block has had a fair old workout this morning.

and did you record this? URL plz

That's amazing Spacemonkey Jr!

Cheers!

He's quite a fearless little chap so it takes a bit to [i]manage[/i] his enthusiasm at times 🙂

A day with the kids while the missus worked a 12 shift. A spin out round Ashton court with the littlest on the weeride and the biggest on her new (to her) 24". Then spent the wet afternoon in refereeing their arguments. Good job they got me some cider too 🙂

A quiet day as mini-me aka rocket jr has left to start work with one of the Internet giants in Dublin 🙁

Doesn't seem that long ago the nurse handed him to me when he'd just been born
