buy her a new hoover and tell her to get on with it.

That's pretty harsh! Ima getting my mum some flowers and my sister is cooking her a meal. We always go out to the same place and the other fat sister always makes a scene, so not going out there again for a bit!

Ugh, really can't stand Mother's/Father's Day - not that I don't love my parents, I'd just rather not have society pressuring me into proving exactly how much I love them on one day out of every year. As I'm not in the UK at the moment it kind of rules out buying my mum anything this year or even sending her a card, as they don't seem to do Mother's Day at the same time as us in Spain (although strangely enough it's apparently Father's Day in about 4 days' time). So I guess all I can really send her is an e-mail saying "Happy Mother's Day, there, I remembered".

So save the last dance

i got her one of these last year or the year before, a galileo thermometer:

but the problem is she already has the small one and the medium sized one (one of which i bought her last time). there is a large one but i don't think it would be right in the living room, it's way too big. plus it costs a lot to replace if you knock it over!

i might have a drive around one or two of the garden centres tommorow and see if i can find something there. but i don't have many ideas at the moment.

on the grid.

Unfortunately I no longer have a mum, consequently Mother's Day makes me feel very sad indeed.

It's all too easy to be cynical about things like this, but 'Mothering Sunday' is technically a day of the Christian calendar, it wasn't simply a date devised by Hallmark/Coca Cola.

I would say that all mothers deserve at least one day of appreciation a year. Give her your love whilst she's still around is my advice, I'm so glad I did.

I will be lighting a candle for my mother on Sunday, and helping to make a fuss of the Boyf's mum.

Nice flowers Jono btw, lovin' the thermometer dc and I don't know what Peggle is Bumbly, but good pressie as it sounds as though she likes it. A LOT!

I got my mummy a digital photo frame because she's going through a phase of trying to be totally down with the kids and into "new fangled stuff" (I already had to talk her out of a blackberry, and an iPhone.) She's getting flowers from me vicariously too, as I don't think my brother's even aware that it's going to be Mothering Sunday, he's in Canada and I'd rather like to spare my mum's feelings, so I'll just thrust them into his hands with instructions to be nice.

In Poland we don't celebrate Mother's Day until May 26th and my mum prefers to keep it that way. My brother always insists on doing it the "English way" but I think it's silly ;) It is however my mum's Name Day in a week so it looks like I still have to get her something...

I've got my mum a card and a book which I had to give to my sister so she can pass it on to my mum because I won't be home, which I feel quite bad about. I normally buy some daffodils too, but I'll have to get them when I'm home.
