Love the reply. The ad would have been so much better if they had suggested mother-in-law.

I had this with bloody Thorntons last year.
"Not everyone has a mother to send delicious chocolates to. Now piss off."

I didn't send that, but I wish I had.

If my boys want me never to speak to them again, booking me a bungee jump would pretty much be the ideal way to ensure it. It would be cheaper just to stop calling though.

Really odd! Most people that I know that actually wear the stuff are generally older, a bit wider (sorry) and def not up for bungee jumping!

Joe Brown clothes are not vair nice.

Dear Custy
Please may I steal your email and send it to all the buggers who are emailing me trying to get me to "treat my dear old mum" - who is also dead! (13 yrs this mothers day)
:)

Sorry meant to hit cancel,

I have a friend who's Mum died when she was 5. This sort of stuff pisses her off. Says as a child people were forever coming to the door or asking on the phone "is your Mother there?"

DHs mum is also no longer alive and I know he misses her.

I think on Mothers day we should raise a glass in memory of all the wonderful mums we can't send cards too.
