Dont worry Alistair, they will run in, on the way to the Rugby Club, with a garage bunch of flowers and a Diary Milk (That says BOGOF on it, the other one hanging out of his pocket to give to the girlfriend, who he will have offended when drunk the night before).
Swearing blind he hadnt forgotten, and NO, he wasnt reminded when he picked up the Sunday Paper with his fags and milk.
Of Course he had remembered and bought said flowers and chocolate earlier in the week.

As the mother of two teenagers, it is still my husband who sorts out the mothers day present (whilst they are in bed)
. So I am still getting the obligatory flowers and gifts which I like but the standard of cooking for my special lunch has improved greatly.

My two teen girls are fab, they make Mothers Day a lovely day for me. My 17 year old is planning on treating me to a cappucino and cake from our local coffee shop on the saturday. We'll be having a family meal on the sunday and they always buy me thoughtful pressies and beautiful cards.
Last year I got a chocolate sprinkler to put on my homemade cappicinos, a Marian Keyes book, Soap and Glory stuff and some Hotel Chocolates. Nothing v expensive but all chosen for me because the girls know what I love.
Best present ever was a homemade Mothers Day card with a chocolate and teabag inside. I cried when I opened that!!

My lovely DS bought me a box of chocolates one year but didn't think it was a good enough gift for Mothers Day...so he bought me another one.
Imagination isn't his strong point, but it's the thought that counts and I really enjoyed those chocolates and ate them all myself.

AlistairSim I've had my fair share of glittery cards through the years
My girls did have one lapse of taste several years ago when they bought me a 'Mum' gold necklace and bracelet from Argos. They looked so proud when they gave them to me. I wore them all day and then put them back in the box where they have been ever since. Still a lovely present though as it was chosen by them, I will keep them for ever

I'm 28, and my sisters are 27 and 34, we have NEVER bought our mum a compilation CD.
Generally we go to church with her then take her for lunch. I'm due to have her first grandchild the day after mothers day this year so no doubt that's what she wants as her present this year!
