its my dad's birthday tomorrow, i managed to get him two really nice presents in the john lewis sale:

John Lewis wall climbing remote control car £7.50 from £30
John Lewis ID card holder and keyring set £4.50 from £18

i also made him a really awesome card using my hubby's label maker spelling out a song my dad used to sing me when i was little that he made up

my gripe has gotta be why does all male birthday paper have boats, beer, cars or footballs on it? my dad isn't especially interested in cars or football, never fishes or goes sailing and is teetotal...pah....

Don't know if you have a Home bargains near you, but I got some wrapping paer, (doesn't say bday) but is a blue jaggered pattern, so male orientated,but without like you say beer, cars etc. xx

Valentines day:


Pasta Boobs £1.98
Lads Only tissue box £1.98
Heat-sensitive stripper mug £1.98
Cellophane 18p
Curling ribbon 1p

TOTAL £6.13

This is our 9th Valentines and they get less and less significant tbh as we do nice things for each other every day, so hence the tongue in cheek gift!

It's a 'night in alone kit' i.e. pasta for his tea, mug for a brew and tissues to wipe his mouth on after!




This is his card, inspired by him playing Plants V Zombies for 4 hours straight even eatign his tea whilst doing it on Friday and playing Peggle on his phone till 2:05 this morning!
