    Yeah, pops will be 64, cracking on now! :rotfl: So when he was my age, my mum had me and the other two already! Congrats on your mum and dad getting to that anniversary, that's a real something! :beer: My birthday is in April, what date is their special day? That woul dbe cool if Daniel did that to start with. Can he get a placement at a zoo or park to start off with, get some experince at weekends or something? Might be something his key worker can arrange. :cool: How funny we had the same idea about archery! It's good fun, I'm doing it over our fields with my niece and nephew. :D X

    Good for your dad.......:T:T.
    There is only a year between us all us kids lol....I am third from the youngest of the 8.
    We are arranging a family and friend party for their Anniversary it will be lovely, can't wait for dad to come home from the hospital unit.
    He have been there since about October time.

    There is a garden centre up the road and they also keep pets, a good idea with what you said, the only thing is we are miles away from a Zoo, but like you said his keyworker may also come up with these ideas as well, cheers.:beer:
    Oh yes and Archery, a good bit of fun, he needs something, martial arts is another, his dad also done this and is trying to get round to getting him to join a club, still working on it. Bet you and your nephew love it archery.

    Right, calling it a night now.........so shattered.;)

    Are you back at work now?
    Be extra careful on the roads as well, they are like Ice Rinks out there......:eek:.

    I expect I shall catch you tomorrow then......:D, have a good night, its been great chatting to you......night hun.:A

    Now you're talking! Those pizzas are really good! :T Their range of curries that you take out in the plastic bags are really good as well. :cool:
    Thanks for your kind wishes to my dad. He will be the ripe age of 64! :eek: And he still goes out to muck out their horses! What a lunny, I would be selling them off by now! :rotfl: What is your youngest into? How about something really unique? How about air rifle lessons or archery? Paintball? Real lads stuff! :D It is very hard buying when it's so near to xmas! X
    MY son went paintball over christmas and came home covered in bruises:eek:. He loved it.

    And archery, well you are talking to the queen of archery here. I won the competition on my hols last year:rotfl::rotfl:.

    It was against men as well Di and it was complete flukes:o.... I always play the games - pistol shooting, rifle etc but never been able to do archery before (always have a go though:D) as i am left handed and always had to fire right handed BUT this time they had a left handed bow... just hate it when it catches your wrist... ouch:eek::rotfl:

    As regards "tips".... just close your eyes tighly shut and pull and let goooooo.... bingo.

    Some good talents there Marshallka, and left handed as well :T:T, they say the left handed are the clever ones.:D:T:T.

    I wouldn't mind having a go at archery just to get involved with Daniel, but I can see him teaching me lol.:D;)

    Morning! Sorry I missed your goodnight last night but my net start playing up and was taking ages to part open pages. :o
    I bet you can't wait for your dad to come back. Are you doing anything nice to celebrate his return? That Martini Asti is a realy nice bottle of bubbly if you don't like champers. I really enjoy the Asti as I hate champagne. :D
    It's a shame you're not closer as I could have taught the martial arts. I managed to get up to senior first degree black belt but was more or less forced to give it up as I didn't want to become an instructor back then and my one got really lairy about it. I'm just currently training my nephew at weekends, he's doing quite well for an 8 year old. :rotfl:
    Nope, not back at work yet. Might even be off monday looking at the state of these roads. I'm still really snowed in! How is it down your way? Thank you for your concern to be careful. I'm not one of these martyrs that will battle through blizzards to get to work and then just end up crashing the car! :D
    Hope you're having a nice day. X
    All the time you're watching your back, you can never look forward...

    Awesome stuff! Paintball is a right laugh. Everyone just charges through the middle but I'm sneaky and go up through the side and ambush each time! :rotfl:
    Nice talent with the archery. It does take a lot of skill. I'm considering buying my own bow in a few weeks. ;)

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:Just because you're wearing a russian hat, doesn't mean you can sit there drinking vodka all day! :D It poured with snow again last night. I told my brother it was pointless clearing the driveway but he just wouldn't listen! :rolleyes:
