Thank you and to all of you. DS remembered to ring me and we had a lovely chat although he forgot to get a card in time (he only left 6 months ago for his first job so I'm making allowances!)
DD got me some lovely flowers and a card with a little photo of her and DS when they were little, made me quite tearful.
Bought myself some nice shoes as a present to me which almost compensated for having to cook tea as always
