I'm sat here beaming like a loon :grin: \\:D/ because I got a message from my step son today that said "happy fathers day" doesn't sound like much but it's a huge mental leap. I've been there myself with a step dad so I really appreciate it.
So on that note, what's the nicest thing that has happened to you on fathers day?

Handmade card with a motorbike on it from the youngest, really cool card from a 6 year old
Plus 2 pairs of 'budgie smugglers' from her and my eldest
Card, and a box of Lindor.
AND, went for a nice run up to St Andrews and finally met up with other orgers (Bibio and peterco). :)

A wooden kit Formula 1 car, made and painted by him, and a card made by him too (though I'm sure his Mum helped!) :mrgreen:

Identical cards from my two, bought completely independently, which was hilarious! And "Paul" on BluRay (anyone know if it's any good? It looks funny anyway). Then Wifey and I took the bikes and the boys along the coast to see my Dad. A bit blowy but a lovely ride.

I too got a 'stepdad' card. I was chuffed to bits, its been a hard road getting to where i am with the missus kids and have had many doubts. The card today made those doubts go away. Twas a great feeling. :)
The missus wants a lil Amp now too. Silly woman!
Toast & marmalade in bed...and an orange juice.
New step ladders so that I can crack on with the maintenance and decorating tasks.
A rather tasty bottle of Jura malt (Origin)
A very large bar of Toblerone
A nautical themed table decoration made by the boy at Beavers
Nothing from the 24 year old because to her I am the devil's henchman!:smt063

Jar of hand picks sweets, cola cubes, white mice, sherbet lemons, chocolate limes etc.
Each of the boys wrote '... from your favourite son' on their cards Lol:)
Lovely verses from both the girls in their cards.
Brekko in bed, a tee shirt and a book.
Great day
Got him a card, 2 blu ray dvd's and a crate of brahma beer since he fancied trying it.
Also graced his day with my very hungover presence.

Got a brew waiting by my bed when I was getting up, so good start.
Package/card on the table downstairs from Daughter 1, Bar Chocolate and PJs in case at my advancing age I have to go in hospital and a pair of old git socks.
Son turns up with girlfriend with a card from them and their staffy for dinner. Muggins had to buy the joint, prep veg and cook. But at least wife/daughter no 1 did the washing up.
Daughter no 2, nothing, not a call/card or kiss my ****. Probably making my grandson call her latest daddy and give him a card.

I got a card with some crayon all over it from my 13m old boy, and a box of jelly beans, which I am quite partial to.
Havent seen my dad for 18 years, and my step dad went to the dentist and hasnt been seen since 2008!
Good riddance.

I had a big bar of Toblerone, a box of Quality Street and the Brian Cox book - "Wonders of the Universe". Also went to see X Men First Class in the afternoon. Quality day, even if I did have to pay for the popcorn and drinks!!!
