Inspired by another thread..

if you designed the Mother's Day Aisle in the local supermarket, what would be in it?

Oh, my MiL bought me one of those vast trays of Ferrero Rocher for Christmas. I politely said how lovely, but actually they are far too sweet for me. Sadly I was very convincing and I now get bought them at every opportunity. She's being kind but my heart sinks a little.

I now desperately NEED to go the snoozatorium. Could my room also have my trained-to-the-duvet terrier but someone else to walk him?

ocelot41 · 26/03/2014 19:13

But of course Minty. If I am allowed a warm, contented and purring cat (who is fed and litter tray mucked out by someone else), I see no reason why we shouldn't have a pre-walked terrier!

And Hotel Chocolat chocolates...

Some willpower
Or the ability to lose weight effortlessly and not put it back on again.
A sense of style.

New clothes and make up.

Annietheacrobat · 27/03/2014 06:14

Slight tangent but on radio a local adult education centre yesterday was advertising evening classes as a mothers' day present. Nice idea you might think, but then they went on to suggest - floristry, sewing and eyelash extensions! Are we back in the bloody 1950s. . . .

BaronVonShush · 27/03/2014 06:19

Shock annie. That's crap! I'd want an evening class in BSL. But, I would like the sewing class just not because I'm a woman.

DracuLaura · 27/03/2014 06:20
