I hope I've got MATH fooled. I'm his wife and I usually post under the name madmummy so I registered again so that I can talk to all the old stylers without him easily spotting it. He also hates sports so he's unlikely to read this! I hope!??

You've all got to know him so well, so do you have any thoughts for cost effective Fathers day gifts for him?

    How about a new homemade bread recipe book as he's rediscovered the breadmaker?

    How about treating him to a champagne breakfast followed by a slap up lunch at the best restaurant you can afford. That MATH sounds like one in a million. If only there were more than one of him. You are such a luck lady Madmummy. Push the boat out is my advice - you know he's worth it.

    Think someone's cottoned on!!
    Brassic!

    ROFLMAO!!!!!! Betty Trumps (and I hope you *don't* - vulgar habit, dear!) LOL

    mattnlayla/madmummy ... your cover is blown, Angel! ((hugs)) As your household has turned "tradition" on it's head ... maybe you should bear that in mind for FD .. ie: don't buy anything to do with home/housework ... give the guy a day off ;) (Bit like "Mother's Day" ... breakfast in bed, dinner cooked for him, no housework/feet up, a few beers, a DVD of a longed for film ... but NO CHOCOLATE :naughty: that *has* to remain a woman's perogative ;)

    Have great fun, however you celebrate it .. as I'm sure you will - you sound like a fun household!!! :D:D:D:D
