Happy Saturday Dads!
To start our Saturday off, here’s a public service announcement reminding all parents that from August new fines will come into place for anyone taking their kids out of school during term time.
Now, with that said, there’s no reason we shouldn’t all aspire to this dad’s creativity levels every now and then.

“I’m not into conspiracy theories but some baby wipe companies are definitely making it harder to separate the wipes so you use a whole damn container when you’re being held hostage with only one useable hand.”

⭐ How the stars do it
When the new baby interferes with your royal social calendar.
“King Charles was caught laughing today as he met Dec at Buckingham Palace. With Ant noticeably absent, Dec was overheard explaining why his pal was missing. Ant and his wife Anne-Marie became parents to their first child last week.”

Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
Father’s Day | Sunday 16th June; We may be in the business of reminding fellas that Mother’s Day is round the corner, but that doesn’t mean we’ve completely forgotten the 20th most celebrated day of the year. Go well fellow dads!
Beer Day Britain | Saturday 15th June; An equally “under-the-radar” event that we should probably make more noise about. Find out more here.
That’s it for this week folks.
Thanks again for reading, as always we leave you with one HILARIOUS joke to share with the family.
“Lance” isn’t a very common name nowadays.
But in medieval times, people were called “Lance-a-lot”.
