So this sunday is Mothers Day any good ideas outside of flowers, choc etc ?
Sometimes the shop obsessions with these "special" days goes to far - I've mentally blanked out all the marketing.... as a consequence it is a bit surprising to hear that it is this sunday.... 😮
Unfortunately, just remebering to call on the day is quite a shock to my mother 🙁 ....
Breakfast in bed, and a nice family dinner..... Simple and not so expensive....
I find women, never get bored of flowers... esp if you find their 'favorite' flowers.... My wife loves lillys
Ron
Still holding out hope for the quadruple 🙂
Yeah actually batman you've hit on something - the stressful bit of mothers day is balancing ALL the mothers expectations.....
My mum expects X, her mum Y and then she is also a mum Z....
I always find that pressure to see all the mothers, when actually sometimes it can be the last thing you want to do...

Call me old fashioned, but I mainly aim to make sure I give my mother something on mother's day, plus prompt / help out the kids to make sure they get my wife something. (This year seems much easier, as school / clubs all seem to be doing it, so my wife will be drowned in a deluge of hand-made cards and gifts in small paper bags). Isn't it enough for a man to be able to come up with something for birthday, valentines day, wedding anniversary, Christmas, etc etc 🙄
