    I got mine a Fred Dibnah DVD boxset a couple of Christmasses ago, don't think he's watched any of them :rolleyes: Might just ask outright if there's anything he wants, it's all a money-spinning scam anyway!

    Birdie - money off nasty debt vs money spent on hideous clothes?! Alright you can't wear trakkie bottoms but I'm sure you could get something less branded, and less hideous that would do just as well.

    I was going to say the pink jumper isn't that bad! You should but a Hepburn spin on the capris Birdie. But why does golfing = horrible clothes?

    I think I'll just outright ask my Dad what he wants too Tete, and if he fails that by saying 'nothing' I'll get him some posh lemonade (or the glass bottled stuff from Aldi) and make him a victoria sponge or something!

    Of course they're for golf, they cost £45 too! Here's the matching skort if that's more your style!

    They can't all dress like that! I quite like the argyll (?!) jumpers if you were wearing them with something plain and normal ie. not the pyjama bottoms or the capri pants! I wouldn't mind the pattern on the bottom ones as a duvet cover...

    I'm sorry but why so perfectly sensible women loose their marbles once facced with a stick and a few balls?!

    Don't worry, I'm only looking at these 'lovely' clothes as a laugh; I love the terrible golf style, the ladies at the golf club were really kitted out to the max, it's worth going along for the fashion parade! LOL! I'll be hitting the sport shop sales to get something cheap and cheerful! Although I'm loving the argyle, hope I can get a jumper for not-a-lot-of-money! And matching socks!
