Sorry if you did but I think I've sorted out the crew now and got a very nice JP slalom fin for the excite ride and a DVD called moments. So yeehah.... just gotta work on the Futura 122 for next year.![]()

Noice! But we don't suscribe to the mass consumerism mentality promoted by the large retailers that's associated with these sorts of days. I did get a nice hand made card with a drawing of a windsurfer on it, and my wife is going to cook me a roast beef for dinner (not a bad gift coming from a vegetarian)![]()
A couple of cards - one handmade by me little bloke (6) with a hand coloured picture frame with him in it, a hug from my near teen daughter (you can never get enough of these from your kids)- and some cash towards a quiver bag for taking the family on the October sailing expedition to beachport.
Only problem is now I have to take them to the Royal Adelaide Show!
Just on my way down to select a brand spankin' new cordless drill ![]()

I got my father a well used belt ,a really poor quality pair of socks and a Fire and Rescue calling card.![]()
Its payback for the $5 note and the 2nd hand card card for my birthday.
(Apparently my birthday just happened to coincide with financial belt tightening,to the day.)
Dont say i'm not generous because I once gave him a cheque for $1000000.[}:)] but he hasnt cashed it yet(predated to 2025)[}:)]![]()

I got socks and jocks and bub is still 4 months away from entering into the world...
My wife says she is preparing me for the future.
'Darrell-Lea' (prob more for the missus though?!?) and a 'stubbie hoder-holder (90mm pvc tube)
I also got a hand made booklet from my young blokes kinder......all the kids had to put in what their dads liked to do...50% "my dad likes to work" - a couple "my dad likes to swim" - one "my dad likes to plant flowers" (WTF???) - and my young bloke "my dad likes to windsurf!"
Kids, gotta love em!

Massive book to read

but I ended up cooking breakfast, and have just been informed that I am on call for dinner as well
Mine are too little to understand it yet, so no presents for me...just the internal satisfaction knowing that I get to have 2 special days in the year and give myself a big pat on the back.![]()
