Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

[Eyl9]

Im still stuck about what to do!

[John]

Me and my sister have put together to get a 40quid bouquet of flowers, looks very nice

[Riz]

Me too Im counting on my sister picking up something tonight for her. If not, its a trip into town for me tomorrow i think.

[Eyl9]

I was convinced it was the sunday after and my payday isn't until tues!

[Grace]

I got a card and this plant thing yesterday, however it does look as though a blind monkey has wrapped it/attacked it with paper and tape.

Will probably pop out and get flowers tomorrow.

[Jono]

You can spend as much as you like on a present, flowers, or making her day special... but they always moan when you don't get them a ruddy card.

The best present I got my mum was last year at Budgens they were selling a plant pot and some random plant for £1.99. The pot looked much more pricey, so I brought it for that, wrapped it up and she loved it. A year later it's flowering again!

[Lucinda]

I posted a card to my mum on thursday - I hope it arrives. The Uni post is proper dodgy, but I hope it's got there by now. My sister has sent a present and my dad is buying flowers on our behalf.

I only knew it was Mother's Day because I happened to walk past Clinton's Cards a week or so ago. I never realised before how much these type of events rely on TV advertising. I was in a bar last night and the rugby was on Sky and in all the commercial breaks were these M&S adverts for Mother's Day. If it wasn't for my sister's TV addiction and Clinton's cards need to sell cards for every event possible (I swear they invent half of them themselves) I wouldn't have a clue about it.

On another note, I reckon Father's Day will be on my birthday this year.

happy mothers day!

[Jono]

I think Radio 1 are trying to make their logo the new Google logo:

[Bexy]

This is the first Mother's Day I haven't been at home for, it feels a bit weird. My mum didn't mind though, because she's working all day.

At least it gives me more time to think of what to buy for her!

[eleanor]

Happy Mother's Day.The second Sunday in May is HK's Mother's Day.So I still have time to think about.

[Bumble_85]

My Mum woke me up this morning by texting me saying what my sister had got her. Hmmm. Subtle.

[Riz]

I bought my mum some roses, a pair of earings AND made her breakfast in bed this morning. Took me all my time to drag myself out of bed.

Shes ruined!

[Ema]

I *tried* to make breakfast, but the Oven broke on me haha

I think my mums generally pleased with what I got her, she thought she was spoilt when I put one of those Bows on her Pressie hahaha

[Eyl9]

I managed to get her osmething, wasn't much though because I don't get paid until Tues. Just got her a card and some chocolates.

Did some ironing too x] Without burning anything

[Grace]

I'm at my dad's today but I'm going to go round to my mum's early, luckily she never wants fuss (apart from constant cups of tea) on Mothers Day, so I'm safe.

I bet my brother hasn't got her anything, now that really annoys me.

[Jono]

Digging up this thread to see what you all did this year for those fortunate enough to have a mother.

I had expected Next to deliver my expensive flowers on time, but had to wait till mid-afternoon for the delivery! £6.75 delivery wasted indeed. Needless to say I have complained. They're a good company, but telling me to be patient and wait till 5.30pm isn't acceptable when you have a mother asking where her present is!

[Serin]

Flowers. I bought an expensive orchid from Marks & Spencer. I know how tricky orchids can be, so I'll have to go and buy some orchid food and orchid compost for later on.

[Grace]

Flowers (the bouquet is huge, I didn't expect it to be the size of me when I ordered it) and the soundtrack to The Sound Of Music, I don't see the point in spending loads to prove how much I love her; she knows that I love her every day. I was hoping to also spend the say with her but I phoned this morning from my dad's to discover she was somewhere in Wiltshire with my aunty, which was nice. And then she phoned again half an hour ago telling me that she'll be home later than usual so I shouldn't "bother" coming round until the evening.

Oh, and my brother decided that breaking the plumbing and then knocking down a wall in an attempt to fix it would be a sufficient enough gift.

[KingTutsWWH]

Bit of a sad one for me, the first without mine.

I'm happy to see all of you lot are making an effort though.

[Jono]

We made a huge effort for my nan who seems to be quite ill at the moment with back problems. But she didn't seem fussed. Rather than my mother's efforts she was more interested in what my uncles had brought her. Ungratefulness.

[Geezer7348]

We went out for a meal together last night as my sister was heading back home earlier today, then later on today I popped around to my parents house with a bottle of cava and a box of thortons mixed choccies

[Bumble_85]

I made my Mum a card all by myself. I'm such a growed up. She even knew it was a frog I'd drawn. Result.

In a week I sees my Mummy again. Yay

[Ema]

I got my mum some chocolates, a Mug and some soap from work. We went out for a meal tonight and Ive eaten too much. Urgh.

[SEANN]

My mum buggered off on holiday today, so I got her nothing.
