Fathers Day.....
« on: 21 June 2009, 13:06:43 »
Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad's :y
Hope your having your Sunday Dinner made for you whilst your on here  ;D ;)

Can any off you remember not having a Fathers Day? because I remember obviously celebrating Mothers Day but I get the feeling Fathers Day is a bit of an after thought.
I am pretty certain that it started or around here at least, in the early 1980's.....

Any one else?

I seem to recall it being a new fangled invention of Hallmark cards!!!!!

Anyway -- as far as having sunday lunch cooked --- SWMBO did lunch ( very nice mushrooom stroganoff  :)  ) . But before she entered the kitchen I cleaned it all and while she was cooking I was hoovering :(

Now .. you'd never know I'd cleaned the kitchen and I am going to retreat to the garage for some stripping (of paint!).

Well I am 44 and did nothing for my father, and my children 13 and 15 did nothing for me.

And that is just how I like it. I will not have my kids ripped off by big business.
