Father Day presents that your father might want to receive....

I paid a lot more than that for Early Doors and its brilliant!

It just seems to me as if I'm sitting in the pub listening to them, don't you?

Another series that has not had the publicity either is' Still Game' it was on its 5th series before I saw it, never even heard of it until then, set on the outskirts of Glasgow, its about two pensioners, their friends, their pub etc., brilliantly written and acted, theres not a weak part- look for a bargain reduction, there is a five CD boxset and a single series 6

Hope you enjoy!

well i have always gotten my dad good presents much to my mums annoyance lol

I always try to get him something that i know he either likes wants or just wouldn't buy himself or i will get him something quirky. one time i bought him an old split screen VW camper (remote controlled) cos i always said if i could afford one I'd get him one, he rolled about laughing. got him a cordless drill to as he always had a fight with the extension but refused to spend "that much money on a drill" he loved it.

This year is a bit boring though. it's more of a family present because their dvd has developed a personality and will only play certain dvd's. My sister got him a box set of movies for his birthday that he hasn't seen so i guess it's only fitting that i get him something to watch them on lol

Talking about good TV programmes, try Peep Show. Brilliantly funny, very clever, witty script.

I'm getting my hubby a garden strimmer from the kids of course, useful and practical, we both hate all the naff gifts that come out at this time of year....

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.

What a brilliant idea! My husband likes pint glasses so may get a 'fathers day' one and fill that, cheap cheerful and appreciated no doubt!!

I find it really hard to buy stuff for my Dad - he doesn't really have any hobbies, and isn't into watching DVD's so this year i'm baking. Just found a really easy Peanut Butter Cookie recipe:

and am going to do some fudge too. Will see if I can get a nice gift box or bag in the pound shop to make it look a bit fancy and going to do my own label for it too!
