To ask what is the most bizarre mother's day present you received?

[lycheejelly]

Mine has to be the 'milkshakes' my children made for me today. Using flour and soap (to make it minty and frothy!) My DH (who had given them the flour at their request and who should know better!) downed it in one before asking what had gone in it.

Any other weird and wonderful creations?

Not a present as such but my DD1 wrote on the envelope of the card she gave me "My tongue burns when I lick envelopes." in HUGE letters.

I felt it was a sort of reproach for her duties.

Mine came back from her dads this eve keen to arm-wrestle me. Not something we make a habit of. She's 11 so maybe that counts as affection...

A poo

Ds said "Mummy Iv'e done a special mummys day poo for you! "

Economy gastronomy book.

Yes, cook more, spend less. Just what sort of mantra I want....

My children's school do something that all the children bring in a £1 to buy a present for mummy and there is usually a range smellies, small chocs etc. It is very sweet as the children really feel they have bought mummy a present that they have chosen. DD1 bought me body glitter you can lick off!!!!

I received an Amazon e-voucher (hardly bizarre but a bit unusual)

and

A dark purply-black Mavala nail polish. I don't really wear nail polish

and

A home-made card in the shape of a warship

plus

Porridge in bed.

:o Awkwardmary that really made me chuckle!

A nasty cold

I got a base layer. And my friend's son gave me a pansy. I gave myself a bottle of wine, bar of Galaxy and a night off cooking. It's been a bit random but very lovely :)

My ds led me into the messy kitchen and shouted surprise!
He is 3 and obviously a little charmer

As well as a few other things, dd2 gave me a voucher for control of the tv remote which apparently expired in 1901 bless her

Two slices of toast.

Burnt black

Buttered on both sides of the bread.

From DD 6, who hopped out of bed at 7am and rushed downstairs to make it for me all by herself.

Dd1 bought me some Cath Kidston paper napkins (I loathe CK) and made me a card which appears to have a giant vulva on the front. But she made dh run me a bath (Quote: it's muvver day, he can do it) and I had lots of cuddles and it has been a pretty good day all round

I got a pinecone.

Sparky my present was that daddy got to deal with the poo , which I thought was rather thoughtful of DS (daddy didn't agree) , I also got told that I should share my chocolate Easter egg (sent early bygrandad) as it wasn't fair that I still had some and DS had eaten his and that for a 'teet mummy' I should play the lightning McQueen racing game.... Lucky me!

I got a mug, a flask (which I'd asked for) and a home made card. Which in itself was lovely. Except that DD2 had drawn all over the envelope. A Ship. Sinking. With people throwing themselves into the water. Because it's what she can draw best

I got sod all and told I was being selfish for wanting to do something with just dh and the DCs at some point in the day. Now the DCs are both spiking temperatures.

For fathers day I'll be booking him a colonic and making French onion soup. He hates onions.

My son gave me £1.50 of his pocket money

Bless his sweet little heart.

Think that's lovely Maryz.

dh felt the need to get me a card only he didnt have time to get one (genuinely as he is having to do a lot of the stuff I would usually do as well as his stuff), so he used a christmas card he had bought for BIL a couple of years ago and crossed out Merry Christmas and wrote Happy Mothers day.
BIL is not nice so I pretended to be slightly insulted - but dh pointed out the only other spare card he had was 'Happy Christmas Sister'! we decided he had gone for the least weird option.

Vomit.

My unborn child made me vomit for the first time today. Thanks for that kiddo. Sense of humor like your dad?

Love the sinking ship too, hathor

My 7 year old gave me a lovely home made card with "Happy Mother's Day" written on the inside cover. On the right hand page she had written "PS don't forget it's my birthday soon".

DS (18) paid for me to unlock my car stereo so I can play CDs [too stingy to pay myself when there's a perfectly good radio]
