I am super close with my MIL and am on a tight budget this month and wanted to make her something special from me for mothers day. My DH has got her some little things and me and the kids made cards yesterday. ....

Anyway here it is she's got a great sense of humour and uses the word gobshite all the time.

I think it's cute and shows you really know her! 👏

🤣

I think that’s more of a meme than a gift.

A 19th century meme!!! Could be worth a few quid!!

"Secret hurt"?! 😂

The flowers are lovely and I suppose if she isn't thrilled with the gobshite, she can unpick it and just leave the flowers,

@purplecorkheart

I don't know the lady in question but for that gift at best will end up in the back of the drawer for me and possible cause some secret hurt. It is a shame because without the vulgar word it is very pretty.
Well I very much doubt that anyone would have made you one then.

Vulgar word/secret hurt FFS.

It was made with the recipient in mind. That's how thoughtful gifts work.

@FoonySpucker right?! I don't know if it's because I'm a social worker and know lots of 'gobshite' types of women but i can't swing a stick without hitting a woman who thinks that gift would be hilarious and well thought out.
