Re: Mothers day
Got two beautiful bouquets of flowers from youngest son, and received a gorgeous tub of mixed flowers from daughter. Expect eldest son will arrive later today, with some of the grandchildren in tow, hopefully. Happy Mother's day to all the Mums out there!

Re: Mothers day
Having spent all last week working in Scotland and due to set up an office in Germany next week, an emergency has meant my son has had to spend the weekend working in London. This will be the first Mother's Day in 28 years that he hasn't been able to spend any time with me.
I was feeling a bit depressed until his friends came round last night with a card, flowers, chocolates and a big bottle of Tia Maria from him.
As Tinky says Happy Mother's day to all the Mums out there!

Re: Mothers day
Bah!
Got nagged too death to sort out flowers for HIS mother online.
What do I get..I get to cook my own Sunday lunch,a phone call from eldest born to apologise for forgetting,nothing from youngest born(despite me paying for his day out in the week) and Sweet FA from HIM.
So I'm NOT sharing the chocolates that I bought myself because past experience has taught me sweet FA was all I should expect..
I really can't believe I've been that unnatural a parent.

Re: Mothers day
My wife had breakfast in bed from me (warm croissants and freshly brewed coffee), with a card, some chocolates, a book, and DVD and a couple of bunches of flowers from the dog and fish (not really, but since she is their surrogate mother, I have to be the surrogate father and buy the prezzies for them  ), then my son got up about noon and gave her a card (my daughter had already sent one from Uni).
My daughter will be bringing back a joint present from her and her brother, a recent family photo transferred on to canvas, in early April.
Now to cook Sunday dinner for me, my son, my wife, and my mum-in-law, then wash up.

Re: Mothers day
I hate flowers, probably more to do with my phobia with wasps rather than the flowers themselves.
Dunno about clothes but they better off than I am.

Re: Mothers day
I've just spent a few hours with mum and took her some carnations and a bottle of her fave tipple. We gassed about all and sundry, put the world to rights and had a few brews whilst nattering. The simple things make all the difference sometimes - not done that in ages
