Just wanted to wish a happy mothers day to all single mums out there like me who might have someone to make a fuss of them.

I really hope you all have a lovely day

My kids make more fuss of me than my X knew how to in a lifetime so this is very relaxed and lovely for me these days.

Hope everyone else has a really good day too.

Happy Mothers Day to all of us . Was up at 6.30, 1st load of washing out on the line by 8.15 . Just about to put out 2nd and then go to the shops. I'm going to treat myself to a new swimming cossie if I can find one and a new bag. Then come home and cook dd and I a roast

Oh and I had a lovely card from dd so that was nice, she's 2 next month and the nursery helped her . She even wrote her own name . They held her hand to write it and it's the best card ever

Happy Mothers day to you all too.

Bought my own card for DS's (they chose it) as their Dad(xp1) didnt bother to do anything from them.

Got Cards made by DD's with their Dad(xp2).

Just DD's with me today. DS's at their Dads.

Got to go and get milk soon so might treat myself to some chocs if i have enough money!

Happy Mothers day everyone! My gals got me chocolates, and we sat in bed and ate them
And we are all going to my sisters later, my mum is coming over. I have made a ginormous chocolate bread and butter pudding!
Has anyone noticed the chocolate theme running through this post??
See you all later on a weight loss thread....

brightwell · 18/03/2007 11:43

My dd(12)& ds(9) brought me a mug of tea in bed, a card & bunch of flowers. I think she's planning something else as she's persuaded my dad to take her to tesco's.
Happy Mothers Day everyone.

Happy Mothering Sunday girls

I am waiting for my 2 to come back from their dads - only another hour.

I kow they have made lots of cards etc at school - but to be honest my best present is just them coming home as I enjoy the rest but miss them terribly

nappyaddict · 18/03/2007 16:07

awwww could their dad not have let them be with you on mothers day .... seems a bit unfair.

i got a 'me to you' bear and a recipe book from ds which my mum bought from him. and my dad got me some perfume from ds so i had some nice pressies

apart from the tantrum my ds threw whilst out in the pissing hail and rain, had a very nice day.

Going to cook us a nice dinner now

happy mothers day

my bf tried to muster my kids into doing something for me this morning but they didnt respond

ds2 (6) had made me a lovely card at school tho, it had a teapot on the front and inside was a cup with a tea bag stuck to it lol

he was really excited about me using it, so he took it to dd1 (nearly 15) to ask her to make me a cup of tea and she was really sulky about it and has been all day, she is refusing to do anything to help out

ds1 (aged 8) sneaked out and went down the road to buy me some plants with his one pound, bless him, and dd2 (10) offered me a couple of her sweets and drew me a card when she got back from her sleepover this afternoon.

my bf bought me some jeans and some undies yesterday as a gift, when we were out shopping for his mum

nappyaddict · 18/03/2007 17:00

did anyone else's ex/parents not get them anything that the kids could give you?or was i the only one

lou33 · 18/03/2007 17:01

i didnt get any gifts as such, exh wouldnt think about it, and i have no parents

nappyaddict · 18/03/2007 17:30

did you get a card?

lou33 · 18/03/2007 17:35

ds2 made me one at school

nothing from dd1

ds1 and dd2 quickly drew one on some paper this afternoon when my bf reminded them they hadnt done anything for me

nappyaddict · 18/03/2007 17:45

its a shame your bf didn't take them to choose a gift for you. its the spending time together that couns though i guess.

tortoise · 18/03/2007 17:47

DS's did turn up earlier for 5 mins with xp1. They bought me chocs and a teddy that xp chose!(lots of thought went it to that!)

No present from DD's dad but am glad really. Don't want him buying anything for me even from DD's.
Parents live it Turkey but Mum did make a card for DD's to give me which was nice of her.

snowwonder · 18/03/2007 17:47
