FATHERS DAY COMPETITION!!!




This year for Fathers Day I’ll be making sure the kids spoil their dad and I’ll be happily depositing them to his house so they can make him breakfast in bed, take over the remote and leave crisps down the side of his sofa! To be honest he will be probably love it as this year has been a bit different for him in terms of spending time with them.  He was on garden leave for 3 months and for the first time in 10 years got to sample the delights of the school run, homework and club runs whilst I sat back watched all hell break loose!  However, I know that within a couple of weeks of him returning to work he’ll be missing their midweek stays, their fights over the TV and their general mess and if I’m totally honest he did do a pretty good job of being ‘Mum’ for a few months.  If you want to spoil your dad this year check out some of these great gifts!
