What are you doing for Mother's Day?!

[Henbird]

So this will be my 7th Mother's Day as a single mum and still struggling a bit. I usually just end up doing stuff to entertain the kids (so a normal day!) but wondered if anyone has any bright ideas for making it a bit special? Ex-H doesn't buy cards or presents for the kids to give so they also tend to feel a bit 'left out'. Don't get me wrong I'm very happy to be a mother to 2 lovely kids but would like to do something a bit different this year...

That's brave monet!

I've scrapped plans to eat out (bit broke and we're going to london museums on thursday anyway so hardly deprived) so we're off to town for nice ready meals / salady bits for an easy tea. And we need loo roll and kitchen roll.

In a rare move I've cleared the kitchen work surface and got everything in the dishwasher. It'll last until I make lunch in a few mins.
