MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
And I don't why I'm awake first in the house. How bloody annoying!
A Halfords advanced screwdriver set for me.
I get to go for a bike ride in the daylight today too!
God bless my 6yo, she’s made me a card that says “Daddy, you are one in a Melon” 😀
Some jazzy socks and Stan & Ollie DVD for me, plus an egg and bacon sandwich breakfast.
Our lad's still asleep after a night out, I'm about to go for a ride so maybe see something by lunchtime??
I got a card with Top Farter on it. I assume it's German.
And.... the wife's woke up with a hangover! Not going well so far, son (14) stopped at a mates last night as paint balling this morning and daughter(17) , well shes 17 so I'm not sure when she'll wake up.
Back to sleep I think and hold out for that brew in bed....
😀
To be fair, my Mrs did try to bring me a brew but couldn't get the coffee machine to work (coffee grounds needed emptying)
CATAPOSTROPHE!
Not sure what is going in but I think there has been a disaster- heard one of my 10 yr olds scream out now I have been told I need to stay in bed a while longer.
My service has been duly recognised with some cards and a mario t shirt. Made my own breakfast and tea.
My little lad had his ’first proper sleepover’ at a friends house last night, so i’m feeling surprisingly sad about him not being here. 🙁
Happy Father's day to the fellow dads. 😎
Two cards, one home made, a mug, some nice looking cupcakes and some smelly stuff. Up early to grab a ride too.
Time for a brew.
One daughter was working till midnight so will turn up before she goes to work again. Other daughter arrived home at 2am after a long drive back from South Wales riding, salvaged a weekend riding after the Malvern cancellation and is still asleep.
Bacon is out ready for breakfast and I'm going to walk the dog whilst he has a sleep in.
Not looking good for a fathers day family ride.
Stuck at work today but just got sent a video of my 6 year old shouting “happy farters day” which was nice 😀
At work but home on Thursday, when i got here found cards in my bag which I'll open when i get a chance.
I have to admit though before i left I forgot about it until I found the cards so forgot about my dad 🙁 a phone call and much begging in a wee while.
My o my this is turning in to a "special one"
I've broke, I needed tea so I got up to witness
1 Mrs ws is on the verge of coma, if I was to photograph her now and post it the ban hammer would be delivered in seconds
2 walked past the daughter's bedroom, door is fully closed this means DO NOT DISTURB!
3 Entered lad in to race, thought I'd send a nice screen grab over to show what a cool dad I am, no reply
And.....
4 The dog, the dog, the only one so far to get me a present, but what kind of present you ask, a beautifully presented ex pile of dog food delivered sometime in the early hours.
Cup of Tea is bang on though 🤣
Good to see Google acknowledge the day by completely avoiding calling it Fathers day.
Happy Parent Day!
Three home made cards, fried egg and bacon on toast twice, box of Turkish delight and the lego creator shark 3-in-1 set which is a very cool little set indeed. Bosh!
Edit: can't be arsed, its tea o'clock.
As CFH says..
Sat here with my nearly 5 week old boy, surprisingly emotional at 1st fathers day. Been long and challenging route to get here, its awesome.
My local pub restaurant's chef has gone ill - 100 fathers day meal cancellations, the local mcdonalds will be busy!
Everyone been up for 2 hours, and nothing. Zip, zilch, nada, dim byd. Will wait and see if and when the youngest 3 give me the things they've made in school I know they've done, they might save them for next year, who knows.
Had a happy fathers day from the middle 2, which is nice. Youngest keeps running into my feet on his scooter and laughing which is kind of cute and eldest still in a massive sulk after failing to win an (yet another almighty explosive) argument yesterday. Happy happy joy joy!
All 4 of them have had breakfast and now doing their own things. Sitting here with my 4th cup of tea.
Full fried breakfast and a Black And Decker Alligator.
Result.
Woken at 6:30.
“Let daddy have a lie in”
Cue 40 mins of desperately stuffing the quilt over my ears and trying to drown out various sodding Moana songs (mrs RRR kindly put on the dvd to keep the kids quiet (plugged into the hifi no less 😐)
I got made eggy bread so it’s not all bad.
Cool homemade card a few cd's and The Big Lewbowski dvd. I am the dude, where's my dressing gown....Mrs has gone out with roadie club so me and anagallis junior may have been to Greggs for breakfast!!
Got up with the nippers, made thier breakfasts as well as my own, got a mug and 3 cards, now sat at the skatepark watching them fall over in progressively more amusing ways.
Love it TBH, been working way too much and seeing way too little of them recently, they're such good company ATM.
Planning a monstrously filthy bacon an egg roll for lunch too.
Just wish it'd stop bloody raining, seriously considering getting back into Zwift... in JUNE!
Oh eggy bread, I know what I'm having for lunch.
Between half night shifts, daughter at grandma's for the day, wife at work.... Going to swap some tyres over soon.
Woke up at 7am, breakfasted, went for 2 hour ride at 8.30, children not up when I got back. 🙂
Happy Father's Day to me! 🙂
Socks with mountain bikes on them and a bottle of aftershave.
Happy Father's Day to my own Dad. Miss him like mad. If you still have yours, give him a shout today.
Got a homemade card from one of mine saying on the front ‘Just have to say...’ and on the inside...
You’re weird.
It made me laugh.
The father's Day spend in my shop is around a third of the mother's Day spend.
Dads ,I strongly suggest that you buy yourself some bike bits today.
You deserve it.
Kid free house this am.
Perfect
Or as a friend on FB noted "It's quite literally Mother ****ers Day"
A very nice Anthony Oram Cadair Idris mountain print, handmade card and some artwork from my daughter. Was a tad dusty this morning. Sunday lunch being cooked and off to walk the hounds - might let them take me for a pint.
Currently watching Return of the Jedi with my boy!!
A couple of mugs, some glasses and a butt-plug brush...
Got up and went out before the house awoke , Fathers day isnt all that these days .... So chucked a nice 30 miles in and returned to cards from my lad and girl ,chocolate from them that they will eat in time .. But the the big thing .. a Singletrack cup and Coffee !!!! My tastebuds have never been so euphoric ,, 30 cold miles and then a coffee to smile .. cheered up no end !
Sat here with my nearly 5 week old boy, surprisingly emotional at 1st fathers day. Been long and challenging route to get here, its awesome.
And that is the best thing I’ve read. Chuffed for you!
Cards and a box of mixed ales from Beer Wolf. Tonight is sorted.
This raised a chuckle here too.
My daughter rode without stabilisers for the first time today. That’ll do me for Father’s Day.
Cheers! and to yourself.
Spent most of the day,keeping up with my 10 yr old at Antur.
Pure joy on every run,a fathers day delight!.
It improved this afternoon. Met up with my mum and dad for lunch which was a nice surprise. The kids also surprised me with a couple of pop vinyl figures, the hand made stuff from school and they each made me a keyring out of shrinkles. One of my friends helped with all this which was really nice. And our 10 year old has just surprised me with some art he's done in the house. Really made me laugh.

So a relatively good day given the circumstances, can't ask for any more than that.
CATAPOSTROPHE
Chuckle.
I do love a grammar snob. I can't help the old auto correct or my inability or care to proof read a post.
Anyhoo, turned out to be a blinder of a day. Hope you've all had a good day. Nice one dad's 😉
Double whammy today as it’s also my Birthday, woken about, oh 3 hours after I got to bed last night. Bit of a hangover but almost ironically as it’s June a stinker of a cold, but it’s been a great day.
Kids got me a set of Rainbow Wera Allen keys, not the black ones either, but the slightly posher stainless!!! Chuffed.
Was first up -- everyone else can ignore the pup squeaking but 0730 was late enough for me to take the dogs out into the yard and give them their breakfast.
Way too healthy a breakfast from the mrs, yoghurt, muesli, fresh fruit. No sign of any bacon whatsoever.
Sent out for a bike ride (0900) before the weekend taxi service for the offspring kicks into life.
Battered my way down the road for 30minutes or so - all good aside from having to cycle past the local wedding venue twice - - I seriously did not need the smell of fried bread leading me astray...
Was later presented with the aldi truffles I objected to yesterday, for some reason I had to share them.....scunners
Jr and me went for a ride and got really bloody muddy. Didn’t realise it had rained that much. But he didn’t complain, even when he slipped over in the filth 😀 Even helped me clean the bikes after.
Brill.
I got a card with "behind every great dad is a wafting great fart cloud" on it from our 6 year old sod, errr I meant son. & some choccy. Then a few hours peace and quiet so I can fix the truck again ☹️🙄
I got a whatsapp from my daughter in Amsterdam wishing me a Happy Cynical Creation of the Card Companies Day. I was so proud.
"Darling, it was really thoughtful of you to make me a card.'
"Did it at school. We all had to make one."
On hols with family, wifey got me and the boys 2 & 4 matching shirts, quite chuffed. Even more chuffed when putting 4 year old to bed after a day of walking round a castle and playing on the beach I asked him what was the best part of his day and he’s did daddy opening his present. Good lad
Had friends staying over last night so both us Dad’s got pancakes cooked for us. Lovely with some nice coffee.
Got some nice KilChoman whisky and a new Park multi tool.
Few jobs to be done including taking kids horse riding and cutting the grass but then took the boys out on their bikes and got to play on my Father’s Day gift to myself, electric skateboard. Wow. Great fun, started on lowest setting ( up to 20km/hr) and stayed there for now. May be a new way to break myself!
similar experiences here...nearly 2yo and nearly 4yo girls both got a bit of a cold, as has their mum so no lie in...but got some hand made cards. First father's day without my dad though...miss him.
On holiday right now, with a bit of a time difference so woke up to a WhatsApp photo of a card saying happy mother’s Father’s Day! Written in felt pen.
One measly greetings card. That's it.
I got a chocolate bar at about 5pm when I took MiniMe to the shop. As he gave it to me he said something like "Mum said to get you this" 😀
TBH I thought it was funny, but then saw the amount of sweets he had bought himself and felt a bit meh!
First up as no-one else listens to the dog whining. Took her out for a bike ride a fell off after clipping tree root with my pedal, hit the ground like a sack of spuds and suddenly felt very sore and old.
Got home to a couple of cards including obligatory fart joke card and a nice bottle of whisky.
