Could someone tell me with 100% certainty that it is Happy Mother's Day and not Happy Mothers' Day? Every year I get a wobble when writing it on the board for yr1s to copy...

Either is grammatically correct, hippy. But I believe the first option is the preferred version.

Thank you. I'll try to be less anxious next year😄

Got up this morning thinking this had all been a terrible nightmare but no, the monstrosity is still on the coffee table, as boldy ungrammatical as ever.

Wonder if I should take my mother some smelling salts tomorrow!

Did your mum like it OP?

In a newsagent's window was a card from someone offering tuition for the Grammer School exam. I hope no one employed them!

It took my mum a disappointingly long time to notice! Inside the card it read "Happy Mother's Day" so the designer got 1/3. My dad thought it was all thoroughly hilarious. Especially when mum got all mock-offended that I bought her card in Iceland. (And bought the flowers after they'd got cut to half price...in m+s, I'm not completely tight!)

This is dreadful and has reminded me - when Christmas shopping last year in a reputable high street card shop I came across a card with the message "Merry Christmas dear neice" in huge letters on the front! How did that escape the copy editors?!
