Evening all. Sunday the 16th June is Fathers day and I wanted to do something a little bit different for this blog and do a little 'How to spend' post. I don't know about you but personally I find my dad really hard to buy for but now I have to think of something for Jude to buy Jamie. Hope it helps at least one of you get an idea for fathers day.
