I always like to get my dad nice birthday presents because he never seems to treat himself! Being a typical dad he views money as something to be saved rather than spent! I think we all realise that he is a bit uptight about money, and you can tell that he always feels a little bit bitter sweet even about the things that we have bought him, because in the back of his mind he is thinking how much it cost!
I think this year though that it is going to be a slightly different story. I have decided that, since it is his fiftieth birthday, I am going to push the boat out. Whilst I was having one of those meandering browses on the internet the other day, I came across this great site which had some really amazing prices on sports tickets. My dad is a massive sports fan. If he’s not watching football or cricket, he is talking about one of them!
I was searching through this site, when I saw some tickets to a Manchester United game, at home, two days after his birthday! I knew that a ticket for him and one for me would be the perfect present for him, and it wouldn’t be too bad for me either! We are both massive Manchester United fans, and although he hadn’t been to see them for about ten years, I knew that he would love this. We live a good two hundred miles away from the ground which is why we never got up to see them, but for a special trip like this I wouldn’t mind doing the driving.
I can’t tell him about it now of course, because he will tell me to get my money back! I know, though, that once I give him the tickets on his birthday, he will realise that it is too late to send the tickets back, and he will look forward to the game with glee!
