Mother's Day

[Qwerty]

What have your family planned for you on Mothers Day I have DD coming tomorrow I told both DD and DIL not to come on Sunday as they are mums themselves and especially dil as she is a new mum and to two ! DS says he will come Sunday but actually my OH treats me well on this day he always brings me breakfast in bed and cooks dinner. Having said this I want to send hugs for those on here who wont see their children for a variety of reasons xx

I wont be seeing mine either. I have decreed that it is now their turn to be spoiled by their families. I remember how difficult it was pleasing the mothers when they were alive. One lived in Yorkshire, one in Kent and we lived in Surrey.
I always felt guilty that it was not possible to be with them.
As long as I have a card (got one already), and a packet of seeds I'll be more than happy.

We're looking after our GSs on Saturday night and staying there, so DIL1 insists on doing the full roast dinner bit on Sunday. If we had been at home DS2 would have taken us out to lunch. But I really don't expect them to do anything because I dont "mother" them now!

We are going to youngest DS and DIL for Sunday Lunch and elder DS and DIL and GS are coming too, so a real family affair - love it.

As I still have a mother, I do the 'spoiling'! We used to go out as family, but at mums age she doesn't really like that now.
I do a roast lunch here. This year DD1 and GS, and DD3 are coming for lunch as well . DD2, SIL and GD will call in in the afternoon, and into SILs mum too. I don't expect to see my daughters on Mothers Day, but I do love it when I do

Nothing arranged here, I suppose DS might pop in sent by my DIL. My family next door have a busy weekend ahead looking for another car for GD as she has had her crashed car written off.

Out with OH today, delivering Mothers Day flowers for her brothers florist business. It covers a country area, so there is lots of driving about and searching for farms and cottages!

Nothing arranged here. Eldest DS is working so I won't see him, other DS could very well be working also but DIL has said she will be popping by in the afternoon.DD is in Florida so not much hope of seeing her !

How well I remember mothers days when We had the shop - so busy. I remember one time,it was four thirty in the afternoon and we had been open from 5am. I had been to the shop and bought cream cakes for the staff and we're all sitting on the floor outside the door surveying the shop, empty except for one stem of lilies. This chap Came bustling up demanding a bouquet for his mother. I pointed out that we had no stock left whereupon he flounced into the shop looked around (it was not a big shop)stormed out and yelled "call yourself a florist?" Me"Sir we have been open since 5am, if you needed something put by the you should have called". His response was that he had only just realised the day. My feeling was to say "well tough luck mate". But I refrained............

Lovely pot of Hydrangeas my favourite as I lost two beauties in the winter of 2010 with all that snow Safely in conservatory now until proper Spring and then gently out until hardened up, although they are hardy plants, I am not going to take any risks. OH took me to lunch and the GK's went with their parents to a huge playpark 60 miles away. Also, I had a lovely card, with a photo of the two girls, always something to treasure.

Had a busy but lovely day received some lovely gifts and more important some lovely sloppy kisses
