Happy Fathers day Forumers, I have had a really neat day with gifts from my youngest daughter, txt, form my eldest daughter, so how was your fathers day?

Spent like me waiting for Jet Lemon's six hour delay "service". Someone must be having a better day than me surely...

You beat me hands down Mick, Im stated off at 5.30 this morning building a Bento data base, that i finished at 11.30, only to have it crash and disappear off my mac the second, i tried to sync it with my iPad, so now i am building the same database again, but this time in FileMaker pro, but i am stuck on a script, so not such a flash fathers day for me.

Come on 20K

Had a nice day, big grin on the face of our 17 month old daughter as she handed me my fathers day present which consisted of a large block of dark chocolate (yum!) and a set of lotto tickets. Unfortunately no prizes on the Lotto tickets so it's back to work tomorrow (to a job that I don't mind so much, but in a company that I really dislike working for!).

Fortunately the huge grin on the face of my daughter makes everything worth-while!

Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it most never use it.

Well mine wasn't the best either....

Both kids gave me presents they had made...which was great...but then like usual my eldest son started having ago at my youngest daughter..then there were tantrums, tears..... he was rude all day.......I just wanted to sell both of them by the end of the day.

Every time there is some sort of celebration, it never goes smoothly....... My eldest son gets jealous or something...we aren't sure what is going on...and it ends up a disaster.

So i am glad I go to work tomorrow so i can get a break. My weekend starts on a work week....how sad is that.

Oh Brian, that sounds so sad, I think we all have wanted to sell our kids off at some stage so don't be to worried, your normal ! I know what you mean about the weekend starting on Monday, mine is caused by over working around the home, have to go to work to get some rest. Cheer up mate we all love ya!

Hey all

I got a bunch of pressies from the girls. Talk about spoilt ... I said it was Father's Day, not my birthday ...

Had a great picnic in the park with some friends. Just brilliant.

Cheers
Dave
