Just me and dd here, she's not old enough to make me a cuppa yet!

We are going out for the day i am looking forward to it, and trying not to think of the exdh.

She came in with a lovely homemade card, and apparently is getting me a gift today (which will involve my purse no doubt!).

Then we are going to see Hop! later on.

Happy Mother's Day everyone. xx

DS is at granny's as DH and I were out last night. I am using my morning off to do housework. DH told me to leave it but I am actually enjoying doing chores without a three-year old sabotaging my work! Sad, eh? Wink

Happy Mothers day everyone. My ds gave me a beautiful homemade card with a picture of a bonfire on the front?!

GnomeDePlume · 03/04/2011 15:18

Thank you!

I have had a great day so far. The DCs allowed us to stay in bed uninterupted this morning. I have had three home made cards and DH helped me rotavate my allotment. What more could I want!

Happy mothers day to all.

ExitPursuedByALamb · 03/04/2011 16:33

YADNBU Happy Mother's Day everyone.

Had a lovely handmade card and poem from DD and a book about Mothers and Daughters that I have to fill in. Will probably make me cry.

Been to my Mother's tree in the Life for a Life forest and had a huge walk with the dog.

Indoor BBQ for tea that DH and DD can hopefully manage between them.

And DD has just given me a ticket to watch her dancing show later.

So why then was I arsey when DH came back from the walk and put the * football on?

Donki · 03/04/2011 17:44

YANBU - Happy Mothers' Day!

Katenotts · 03/04/2011 17:46

I'm feeling slightly ungrateful for my c**y carnations and the box of chocolates that I don't like, which my partner will now eat. How much thought went into that?

I also missed out on my lie-in to do a 150 mile round trip on my own to pick up a wardrobe I bought on ebay and then, with the help of my ever patient mother, assembled the wardrobe. At least I bought her some of her favourite flowers and chocolates and made her a cream tea when she refused my efforts to take her out for lunch. My dp, who had taken the kids to his mum's, has now returned, allowed me to bring the stuff in from the car, not put his coat in the newly assembled cupboard, leading me to believe that I have indeed wasted pretty much the whole day and will have to waste another day taking it apart and reassembling it somewhere more useful, and promptly fallen asleep on the sofa. I am not happy.

Happy mothers day

I may have hijacked the title sorry

theborrower · 03/04/2011 19:57

Aw thank you :)

My (first) mother's day is being postponed until another time - DD has been ill the past few days and while much better still has a dodgy tummy (been cleaning up baby poo, nice), and DH has taken his turn to get the vomiting bug and has been throwing up/lying in bed etc all day. Typical Grin Did still manage a wee glass of prosecco at my mum's in amongst all that though! Wine
