Lidl marketing have spend all their money on mn sponsorship so skimp on the creative.

3 dses here, all adults, all living away. Ds1 Aspie- doesn't engage with celebrations, d#2 on duty in London and DS3's band has a gig 100 miles away. None of the buggers has even sent a card, To be fair ds2 is normally in charge of These things and given that he is in the Met has far more important things on his mind this week.
What would I really like for Mothers' Day, to be able to turn the clock back years to the time when they made me a cup of gravy instead of coffee (got the granules mixed up) and all presented me with their school made cards it feels like 5 minutes ago and then that time is gone forever and they are adults.
Make the most of crushed cards, soggy toast, squashed chocolates and squeals!

I shall get fuck all, so yes, I wouldn't have liked that very much.

I hate eggs but otherwise yes please.

It's about the children being excited to bring me breakfast, rather than the quality of the breakfast.

And doesn't the op sound a barrel of laughs...too much sugar and low quality gifts! I'm picturing her sitting in bed like the Queen with a cat's bum mouth at her subjects who try to please her...

This thread is why I love mumsnet. It's like a different planet at times. I had 3 slices of WHITE toast and tea in bed. Yes, 3. Thick cut as well. I loved every bit.

I think people have lost sight of what is a normal body size and what is a normal portion size.

I think some posters have this sentence on cut and paste.

You are going straight to hell in a handcart Dolly .

I think some people have lost sight of what is an occasional treat/breakfast to be shared with the children who bring it to you/advertising of different options for breakfast/no-one else's business (delete as appropriate), but there you have it- different strokes and all.

Personally I am still bf and losing weight at an alarming rate as a result so, for the first time in my life I'd dive right into all that without a care in the world. Blood sugar be damned.

I didn't have a fry up but I did have a triple decker sandwich with sausage, bacon and a fried egg.

It was on brown bread though if that counts?

I am completely stuffed!

I do agree that people have lost sight of a normal body size and portions. That is a problem. But I am overweight and have trouble distinguishing treat from normal eating. A large part of that I think comes from growing up in a house where my mother would pick at food on the table and that was given to her when we knew that behind closed doors she was shovelling down biscuits and cake .even now she is nearly 70 and I am in my 40's I can't go to a restaurant for birthdays or special days with her as it's too stressful watching her eat some lettuce and half a starter because she can't eat food in front of people. If your kids give you something nice on a special day it's about them, not you and your calorie obsession. You don't have to eat all of it.

Ha doesn't mean it isn't true I wish I could have a shortcut to paste it. In fact I may change my name to it
