    On buyagift the other day they had a jar crammed with sweets, after showing the kids to get their opinions agreed that Dad could have it, however not from the site. Online it was £25, so i went along to local sweet shop purchased one of the old jars for 30p then went to Asda and purchased a shed load of sweets i dont think the whole lot cost a fiver.

    For anyone with toddlers I got a really lovely book from Morrisons called "Clever Daddy" which is really sweet - there was a few other titles too and they were only £2.99 or 2 for £5. My dh loves reading to my little boy so I hope this will go down well!

    The only thing there that I would have use for was the box of overpriced lagers but then again they're currently selling 10 bottles of Stella for a fiver which is a far better deal.

    Sorry about following up my own post but I need to expose Asda. In their Father's Day aisle there is a pack of 'Lagers of the World' for five quid. This comprises bottles of Carling, Carlsberg, Fosters and Grolsh. All run of the mill lagers in average sized bottles, 330ml I think. In the beer aisle they have packs of ten bottles of Stella Artois, also for a fiver. Do not fall for this a buy the 'Lagers of the World' when you can better quality beer, and more than twice as much, for the same price :beer:.

    Also don't get caught out on the other Stella "deal". 18 x 284ml bottles for £10.
    Much worse than the 10 x 330ml deal you mention, daft.

    Last year my DD bought me a book called "why I love my Daddy" she can now read it to me and it brings a lump to my throat when she does. One of the best presents ever.
