Who books a table for lunch at 12.00 on Mother's day?

[mrsruffallo]

I am fuming. What about my lay in?

I'll see you there Mrs - DH has booked the same time slot for us!!

Ohhh, well my gran HAS to eat at 12.30, so she'd be happy with a table booked in good time. But she's 90....

There is still time, get whoever booked it to call back and make it later....

How long are you planning to lie in for?!

12 is a bit on the early side, yes, but hey, at least your getting treated.

you're, not your. ahem

I can have a huuuuuuuuuuge lie in, our table is booked for 6.00pm [smug]

It means getting up at 10.30 to leave at 11.30
I was planning to stay in bed until at least 3.

I've bought a good book, nice breakfast to have in bed...
Now this

7am would be a lay in for me at the mo so I'd be ready for lunch by then

a kind and thoughtful husband maybe?

lol you grumpy moo

I've never been out for a meal for mothers day

We were going to go out.

But DP and DD have said aw your roast dinners are so much better and you never cook them why can't you cook for us all it will be so much nicer at home rather than some random pub.

Arse wipes.

I don't mind really.

go back to bed after lunch.

Eat early and you have the rest of the day free for stuff you want to do. Good film & a nice glass of red would be mine, I love a long lazy sunday PM.

I'll be cooking my mothers day lunch!

I would love to go out for a meal at noon! In nearly 5 years of being a mother, I am yet to even receive a card from the dc.

who has a birthday party at soft play on mothers day?

DDs bloody friend thats who

I assume you are joking?

Unless you book weeks in advance I suspect it's hard to get a sensible time to eat. I rang last weekend and was offered 11.45 or 5

I'll be cooking lunch as normal and preparing 'high tea' for my mum and dad and aged auntie.

Count your blessing!

Sherby- that is very wrong

I know I am being ungrateful, I have just been sooo bust lately and want to lay in bed eating chocolates

"It means getting up at 10.30"

[hollow laugh]
[unsympathetic]

I take your "party at soft play" and raise you rugby followed by "party at fecking skate park"

sod off, some of us have to work

i would
but then dd hates waiting to eat

DD1's friend has mcdonalds party 5-6.30, now there's planning.

Who the hell are all these 'mothers' planning parties on our most indulgent day

What happened to the sisterhood?

Yeah I'm with you MrsR, I would rather have the DC make me breakfast, laze about with the papers for a few hours, and eat lunch later.

My DH has booked for 12.30 on the grounds that our DC's are still quite small and if they haven't been fed by about 12.45pm them all hell breaks loose.

I,like you, did then sit down and work out exactly how long my lie-in could be

I don't think it is being ungrateful, just maximising the potential of a rare situation
