golfnut - maybe he is unable to get out of bed. he may be elderly. No mate...read above... |
|
By:
i just have. where does it say ps4's dad isn't elderly?
|
|
By:
my dad is 67yo and relatively fit. i just think it is a bit daft that now he has retired he has to go downstairs when, despite the central heating, it is still colder than being in bed when he could just have his cup of tea ready by his bedside. He is not what I would call "elderly" and certainly not decrepid.

nice one tommy. regarding "teamakers" is anyone an expert here. i've searched on argos for teamaker and i only get that one item. is that because i am using the wrong words when searching, or are they just out of fashion. They seem very eighties t me, but at the same time they seem a cracking idea, much better than my dad going downstairs in the cold to the kitchen every p.ssng morning just to turn the kettle on. and then wait for it to boil. and then etc etc. when it could be on his bedside table. Doesnt say hes not elderly but he can get down the stairs....he doesnt wat a tesmade he wants a bungalow.... |
|
By:
no he is 68 actually. :)
|
|
By:
oh yeah, missed that, sorry.
|
|
By:
anyway that's all decided upon. i've found some crappy piano/organ thing for A.N.othernephew. just need 4 more. not sure about those bags with 100 balls in now, they seem like a living nightmare in hindsight.

got 2 nephews coming over from australia and they'[re real sods. they'll just get bored of whatever toy you get them within 5 minutes (unless someone else wants to play with it) and watch tv. so i might as well get them something really sh.it. any ideas?

got 2 nephews coming over from australia ......
easy then....buy them a kettle and they can make the old mans tea!......simple |
|
By:
i have done golfnut. It is a brilliant idea - i did put thought into it. It will save him getting up in the cold morning and going downstairs to put the kettle on ffs. it will be there waiting for him by his bedside.
A cracking present imo. |
|
By:
its not like i bought him a fkin gift voucher is it now that s literally thoughtless.
|
|
By:
4th...just put a kettle in the bedroom!....and biscuit barrel if you want......
Ok he has the teasmaid in the bedroomm...what about milk?...sugar?...cup an saucer?... |
|
By:
i can't stretch to a kitchen golfnut.
|
|
By:
i got two of those electronic keyboards - is that ok for the two 4year olds? if so i need something for the 5yo the 8yo and the 3yo niece.
|
|
By:
he prob drinks his tea downstairs anyway....so if he has a teasmaid in the bedroomm he is just gonna spill it all takin it down the stairs!....lol
|
|
By:
no he'll be right.
walkie talkies for the 8yo. nearly there. don't know why people all fuss and fight over christmas shoppint. it's a piece of p.iss |
|
By:
5yo
...any little remote car..cost a tenner the 8yo Early learning language book...Spanish/French....tenner again and the 3yo niece. any toy thats cute and it sqeaks!...even if its just for a week! |
|
By:
being a bit tight now, those walkie talkies are 6.49. but for that you get two of them - could i split that between two of them?
the (nearly) 3 yo neice is now looking problematic. i suppose anything pink will do. |
|
By:
defo not spending money teaching my nephew to speak french ffs. or spanish ffs. fk that. Chemistry set maybe. French no.
|
|
By:
Any christmas present ideas for a sister whose just moved house? Should be easy really given the circumstances but can't think of owt.

|
|
By:
