I forgot its mothers day sunday ...

[Disenchanted3]

I have nothing for my mum.

I can't go shopping.

Can get DH to get card from local shop but dunno what to do about present.

poor mum.

You've had a lot to cope with the last few days, I'm sure your Mum will understand.

Maybe you could take her out for lunch in a few weeks?

does she not live nearby? order some flowers?

Just write some heartfelt words in the card, that would more than enough for me

Make her a voucher that says 'this entitles the bearer to a nice lunch at mine/ at a nice restaurant/ day at a spa etc (whatever you can afford).

Or, get a jam jar and decorate it with foil/ glitter etc and inside it write little folded up messages for her that say 'i loved it when...' and a mamory of a time she helped you out/ made you smile/ did/ said something nice to/for you. Add a label to it calling it 'the little jar of love' with instructions for her to read a message whenever she misses you/ feels sad/ down/ lonely etc. It's been a winner for whoever I've done it for (was VERY skint for a VERY long time and had to make lots of presents).

Don't feel bad you haven't bought anything, the made ones are often the most memorable presents.

should be memory and not mamory

shootfromthehip, i love that idea, i might nick that one,hardup or not, thats a lovely present

Shoot from the hip that is a FANTASTIC idea. I absolutely love that one!!

Pinch some daffs from a traffic island

I walked to the shops,

found it very hard though, there were gandad cards and cakes and stuff in there. Got her a few bits, not that shes bothered, i saw her today and she is a mess.

people mustve though i was a right weirdo, filling up every 2 minutes

It the thought that counts.

Take care
