yes i know i'm being previous:D

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

nothing!! so i bought myself some flowers!! i have bought some flowers for mums grave as well ... couldnt believe the price of em in tesco!! a bunch that was £5 4 weeks ago is now £10 - the only thing different is the colour of wrapping and a stick thing in it!!

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

Nope....and to be honest I don't mind if I don't get anything at all.
The current financial situation is putting enough pressure on folks without having to think about unnecessary and possibly unwanted gifts.
Mothers just want some time with their children.....not extravagant overpriced tat.
But that is only my take on the situation.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

well thats very good,you have not been forgotten,i lost my mum 17 years a go but i still say my little words to her in my own way.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

I got a sat nav off the boys (think that was after my un-planned detour to lancaster on the way home from preston :rolleyes:)

And two really annoying singing cards which the boys keep playing with!!

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

It is hard when you have lost your Mum...especially if the loss is recent, and it is also hard if you are, for some reason, estranged from your children, or have recently lost a child.
Mothers Day is somehow very hollow for these people.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

Why ya getting ya cards now, its not mothers day untill tomorrow :confused:


I dont want nowt, but i know my kids have got me summat.
All i want is a kiss and a cuddle of my kids and maybe breakfast in bed...i dont need fancy gifts and flowers...actions speak louder ;)

Oh and iv decided thier dad is doing everything tomorrow, and im having a duvet day and staying in me jammys....bliss! ;) :D

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

My Mum died last year, strangely I don't miss her, I don't regret her passing, she was a loving person, so It isn't out of bitterness I say this, she had lost all that was her some 5 years ago.

If there is a Heaven, I hope she has now got her mind back.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

I am being taken out to lunch:)

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

OI!!!! Why you detouring to Lancaster??? and not Blackpool .Just wait till I see those boys we need words lmao!!!:p:D

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

i am getting a card that ty made at school and a cup :D

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

Sorry to hear that, I hope you feel a little better now.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

Jen i know this may sound daft but.... i dont buy flowers for my mums grave, i buy them for her and put them in my house, everytime i look at them they remind me of her and that makes me smile, she died almost 18 years ago and i've been doing it ever since

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

I think that's a really lovely idea Shaz. I always did think it was bit pointless putting flowers on a grave.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

Depends on your belief's, you could say it's actually pointless going to a grave. I usually take a pot plant to my mum's grave so it doesn't blow away as easy. I will also give her an update on how things are going as I have done for the past 40 odd years, though I'm sure she won't have been impressed with all of it :)

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

I had no idea where I was going lol it wasnt good

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

I have been spoilt rotten today :D
Lunch at Franco's plus wine and flowers
Excuse me for being smug

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

Margaret, glad you have been spoilt......you deserve it.
I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

They both made my cards... Rhys did a little hanging butterfly which is gorgeous... he also wrapped a little cake very beautifully!

Saffron made me some truffles and put them in a box she decorated and it looks lovely:)

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

I had a card and twenty euros from my daughter. We went out to eat and pigged out on Sunday roast. Lovely, but I can't move now!

Not a word from my son which is upsetting. A phone call would have done. Never mind, I had a nice day.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

I had a card from my son, not remarkable in itself except that he had signed it, even if it was posted in Leeds (where my daughter-in-law works). Both my daughters bought me a bottle of wine, my eldest accompanying hers with a packet of specialist dark chocolate and a potted orchid, and out for an Italian meal in the village last night courtesy of Nik. :)

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

Well I had a lovely day too. I was showered with messages and cards from my daughters and taken out by the boys, My eldest and his wife tried thier first attempt in making a cake from scratch and although I havent tasted it yet it looks delish...................
we will be indulging later.

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

you hoping they remembered that its sugar they had to put in and not salt? :D:D:D

Re: mothers day, what are you getting?
 

OMG Not thought of that lol... no wonder they dropped it off and said see ya later cant stop hahaha..:D:eek:
