forbsay Report post Posted February 27, 2008 I will go for a walk with the kids if it is a nice day. DH has announced that he is going golfing with his cyper friends. Think he was scared to tell me his plans. Have already got my present - a flower arrangement thing which i can put at the front door. Am also getting my car cleaned ( my suggestion as it is a total tip and I can't be bother cleaning it myself). Forbsay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Dunno yet....have taken my mum her cards, chocs, flowers and M & S vouchers over as I won't be seeing her on Sunday. Hopefully Sunday will involve lots of chilling out, taking it easy, slobbing about in my PJ's, and eating something nice.........no different to any other day then.... Forgot to wish all the mums of the forum a wonderful day, whatever you will be doing <'> Edited February 27, 2008 by Bagpuss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KarenT Report post Posted February 28, 2008 DH will be in bed sleeping off a 12 hour night shift, so it'll be just me and J for the morning. I'll probably have to give him subtle reminders so that he'll know to wish me Happy Mother's Day. On the Saturday he'll probably slip out with Dad for flowers. We'll go to see my Mam and take flowers and cards, then J and I are going to a local city farm to see the lambing shed and other new arrivals. The farm's next to where my grandma used to live so I might take J on a guided tour of Memory Lane as well. Have a fab day, all you yummy mummies!

Tally Report post Posted February 28, 2008 I sent my mum a card and a packet of chocolate hedgehogs! Since I don't live with my mum, but my brother does, I sent him some money and he is going to buy her a bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine. My mum has been in India and she gets home on Sunday, so I will get to talk to her as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oxgirl Report post Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) It'll just be a normal Sunday for us, DH doesn't tend to make a big thing out of Mother's Day and Jay wouldn't think to do a card or anything unless pushed by someone else. DH wouldn't buy his own mum a card if he could get away with it, but he tried not sending her one a few years ago and was met with outraged silence and huffiness, she was mortally offended, actually, so now he sends her one just to keep the peace. DH will go out on his bike for the morning and I'll do homework with Jay or whatever and it'll just get ignored probably. My mum isn't around so can't send her a card either.

oxgirl Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Whoops, feeling a bit sorry for myself there! Feel a bit jealous of all the lovely stories of flowers and special treats, but if you have to ask then it's not the same is it. Oh well, maybe when Jay is older he'll think to do it himself, shan't hold my breath though. ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted March 2, 2008 Got up this morning, and all three kiddies duly handed over their pressies and cards, bless 'em Youngest DD has managed to demolish 3/4 of the chocolates DH she bought me On Friday eldest DD made a Mother's Day card and flowers at Brownies She hid them in her room By 10 am she still hadn't given me them, so I prompted her, thinking she'd be really upset if it got to tea time and she'd forgotton...... "But I've already given you something, so you don't need something else" I shouldn't laugh....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bard Report post Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> No cards, no presents and no greetings. OH is in the bath, daughter is asleep and B is downstairs with me, demolishing the easter egg he was given by an Auntie yesterday. B caught sight of the front page of the Times Supplement from yesterday, and it has a photo of a baby's hand holding an adult's thumb. The headline is ' Ever wished you'd never had them?' so after him pointing out that it wasn't a very nice thing to say, we got into a discussion about why a parent might feel like that. And I pointed out that it was Mothers' day and I'd been given nothing, so how might I be feeling? And then he said ' Here, you can have half of my easter egg, and the jelly eggs inside, so you have something now, don't you?' And then he went and spoilt it somewhat by saying 'I don't like jelly eggs anyway!' OH would merely point out that I'm not his mother, so he didn't need to worry about Mothers' day. He doesn't do anniversaries or Valentines either. Or cleaning the house hev! Edited March 2, 2008 by Bard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stella63 Report post Posted March 2, 2008 Well, got woken (too early) by OJ, very excited cos he had got me a purple fluffy card and chocs. AJ surfaced at lunchtime with card and plant (bought by DH)! I was then asked what I was making them for THEIR breakfast, spent the morning cleaning out THEIR rabbits and was then asked what i was making them for THEIR lunch!! Oh well, at least I have chocolate for later (had to hide it though!!) Stella xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellyanne Report post Posted March 2, 2008 My DH and DS' took me out for lunch. It was J's idea and was the quickest lunch ever as J didn't like the fact that it was really really busy, we practically had to eat and run to prevent a meltdown in the middle of the restaurant. But however short our meal was, it was still lovely and I enjoyed it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted March 2, 2008 Despite being hungover and sleep deprived after a party last night, I had a good day. Got cards and chocs - L bought me my favourite kind, white chocolate bar with dried strawberries in it. I was taken out for a pizza (ds idea) and it was lovely. It nearly wasn't though as L was feeling a bit unwell and out of sorts and didn't really want to go. She was more hypersensitive to noise than usual and unfortunately the restaurant was full and there wasn't much on the menu she liked. But after a tense start, once she had eaten something she was happier, and psitivelly blissed - out after a triple chocolate sundae and half my tirimasu. It's true what they say about chocolate and endorphins! I've still got the washing to do though. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clare63 Report post Posted March 2, 2008 Well its got round to teatime, when I spotted a beaming face nodding towards a beautifully wrapped a parcel on the side, I ask who is that for? DS said read the label.......ahhhhh my first real Mothers Day (I had decided I would not mention it or remind DH this year, as its always such a hoo haa, as OH does not do valentines, anniversaries, bithdays Christmas you name it, says they are all to grab your money!!!) anyway thanks to (I believe my own lovely Mother taking him to the shops) a beautiful card, beautifully written and a Natures Seasons Friends & Family Organiser all very pretty with birds, flowers, rabbits, foxes, badgers and butterfiles on it. DS said he chose it himself as he knows I love nature and animals....bless him Feeling all warm and special tonight.
