By sending her a bunch of flowers to her work? She had no clue and just rang me sobbing thank you and I'm not sure what else she said Grin

I have a warm fuzzy feeling, not because she cried but because I cheered her up hehe

Think a few people have been hitting the sherry a little early today.
OP did a lovely thing for her Mum and was touched by her reaction so shared it on here.
I see no boast in the post.

God there are some unpleasant people around.

It's pretty fundamental. I'm sure the OP appreciates the comment as much as her mum appreciated the flowers. The thread was pretty quite until then.

Lovely gesture OP.

and I agree with the corrections...sorry but I do.

Scholes34 · 23/12/2011 17:18

Oh, gosh, typo - pretty quiet, I meant to say! And I've not hit the sherry yet.

OP, that's lovely. It means a lot to mums to receive a gesture like that!

Don't let anyone pop your bubble, MaryPoppinsMagic.
It's lovely that your mother was so delighted.

It is churlish and a bit smug for anyone to try and derail or dilute the tone of your thread.

Don't let anyone spoil your warm fuzzies. I work for a florist and love the feeling when someone gets a lovely surprise.
Such a lovely thing to do Grin

Yuck yuck yuck to people who go around correcting grammar. I think they ought to of learnt some manners when they was youngerer.

Good for you OP. I miss my Mum so much, especially at times like this.

Loving the irony of Scoles' error! Xmas Grin

The correction was technically accurate, but lacking in manners or social skills. More appropriate in the classroom, which last I checked this isn't.
