Jules. Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've already told LSH that on Father's day i am going to lie in until 9am like he did today I made the boys their breakfasts at 8am. I didn't get anything to open as my egg skelter hasn't arrived yet. I got 2 home made ( well, school made) cards, & some daffodils & carnations from the boys when they came out of Sunday school.

missuscluck Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Still it could be worse, I was given a sack of horse manure last year for Mothers Day See I like this kind of gift, it shows imagination Tessa Thats a great present Happy mothers day all. Hope you are all having a lovley day. My m in law is away on holiday at the mo and we have had some lifts to do today as daughter is in a show this afternoon and step daughter is doing a st johns ambulance duty today so we didnt have my mum over either, she is having lunch with my sister and two brothers so all in all, lifts aside its been a quiet day. My kids are well aware how much I love mothers day as my birthday is christmas eve it gets overshadowed by the preperations for feeding the 5000 so I love mothers day and treat it a bit like a birthday should be and try to get a bit of a day off and get all the chores done the day before. I have had a dvd of the 'take that' tour and some body shop smellies which I am very pleased with. I also had my breakfast made for me and we are having a takeaway for a treat tonight so no cooking. I have had the time to get out in the garden this afternoon too. All in all, a lovley day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby bears mum Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've had a wonderful day. Baby Bear woke up at 7am (which is late for her - even though she's 11) came and gave me huge hugs and two home made cards and a beautiful necklace showing a mother and child (few tears there folks!!!! - but in a good way). OH and BB went to make me a cup of fruit tea and a bacon sandwich and then ran me a bath . After that we went to Coed y Dinas (a garden centre type place) and had lunch and a mooch around and I am now sat here (doing the internet shopping - allegedly - ) with a glass of red wine. I love my BB and OH. loads (Back to normal tomorrow though - roll on next year ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riane Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Had a mixed sort of day. Children made nice cards and flowers and I had a breakfast in bed this morning. But OH is not well and Charlotte is not brill so I had to get up and take over the house by 9am. We had a viewing at 2pm so had to clean and tidy everywhere and then visited my mum to give presents, cards and hugs. Back home now and trying to have a bit of laptop time ! OH cooking a roast inbetween doses of Beecham powders. probably will feel too poorly when its time to wash up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy&cake Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 My 2nd Mothers day, and Ross remembered my Card, i was so happy i cried. It was a A3 piece of paper, with Gerbia daisys all over it, and a huge picture of seths face on it, with a speech bubble saying : Happy Mothers day, i love you from Bear. [ we call him bear most of the time] I didnt get a gift, but i treated myself to two Orchids from Lidl, £6! I love mothers day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strepsy Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I'm not too fussed about this mother's day as it's the first without my Mum. But I got some nice Boots smellies and a book called 'A Slice of Organic Life' plus a 'Mum' teddy off my eldest and middle DDs. Hubby made me egg and veggie bacon butties for breakfast and then we had to go out for my godson's football birthday party, then onto the cemetary, then MILs. He's now gone out to get a chippy for tea Hope everyone's having a nice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Likewise Strepsy, I am sort of without my Mum (its a long story...) & it does make for a different sort of day,doesn't it A more thoughtful one maybe,& certainly one that made me appreciate my girls even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajm200 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I got a lovely box of chocolates delivered to me in bed by my toddler son. He fell over his own feet halfway across the room and landed on the chocs squashing them flat. He looked so cute that I had to laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Similar thing happened here on Valentines Day. OH left me some surprise chocs on the bed. Stefan had got hold of the ribbon tied around the box and was having great fun dragging them around the house! I wondered what he'd got at first - then quickly rescued and ate them!

Krysia Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've had a lovely day Ashley made a card #With a little help at nursery!) it was a flower made from his hand print and a green stem but the centre of the flower was a chocolate! I also got a dog teddy with a removable tum you microwave to give lavender and chamomile smelling warm hugs! We then spent a few hours at stockly farm (A childrens farm) then did nothing else all day apart from put my feet up. Must go Paul is back with the chinese!

riane Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 We had a viewing at 2pm so had to clean and tidy everywhere Are you off to pastures new Maria? Yes been on the market since August but the market is very very quiet. Dore is usually quite a safe bet but it has been dreadful. The estate agent has gone onto short hours its so quiet! but hopefully things might pick up. We advertised again in the telegraph this weekend and have had 4 viewings so fingers crossed.

Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Now I know you'll all be soooo jealous, but I got a Donny Osmond CD Well, I really am jealous! I didn't get one. Donny Osmond still makes me miss a beat! I have had some lovely cards and DD3 cooked me dinner tonight. Egg Florentine with baked potato and beetroot. I took my mother to see the Mikado at the Coliseum, which was wonderful, but I felt a bit guilty deserting my own children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went away on Friday and as a romantic thought left Hubbie a little romantic chocolate tucked under the duvet. Which was ok until Hubby went to bed after having had the electric blanket on!!!! Chocolate puddle he wondered what on earth I had left him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HennyPenny Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I had my two grown-up children to stay this weekend which was the best present of all....but they gave me a lovely bucket of sunflower seeds to grow and a book by one of my favourite chick-lit authors which was great too! And then when we went out for lunch, the restaurant was giving boxes of chocolates to all the Mums....mmmm Hope everyone had as lovely a day as me!

chickencam Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I had a thought this morning that we should all take a moment in our happy Mothering Sunday thoughts, for Rona. It can' have been easy hugs and best wishes to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
