Your question makes it sound like we've left them somewhere :D
Mine had a habit of wandering off. I'm meeting her shortly for a coffee and chat. Haven't got a card yet :erm:
Yes sir! lol
Got mine a nice bottle of wine, and some thorntons, but dont they deserve it :)
Got my mum a bunch of flowers (she lives 240 miles away), and called her as always...
Sent my sister a bunch of flowers from her girls (always pays to look after your sis, and she lives 240 miles away too).
Got my wife some flowers from me and our as yet unborn child (due in 13 weeks).
It was worth it to see her face....
Well I sorted out my mother-in-law as requested by my husband..
I get up this am and do I get made a cup of tea?No.
Do I get flowers?No.
Do I even get wished Happy Mothers Day?No.
I'm strongly tempted to b*gger back to bed instead of feeding him later when he rolls in from the pub.And if he thinks anything like a box of chocs or mangled flowers from the garage will do he can forget it...:fit:
I'll sort myself out summat later in the week....
Yes, and today went really well.
I cooked. You can see the meal I made in my Blog. (http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/journal.php?do=showjournal&j=22)
got my mother a good flower arrangement card and cash, from me and my sister. :)

Got my Mum a DVD (Ladies in Lavender cos she was too poorly to see it at the cinema) and sent her some flowers. Went to see her today as she had her op last Thursday - we've been round to her every day since last Wednesday! We're taking both the Mums out in a couple of weeks as they are both busy around now! ;)
Paul's Mum got flowers sent too and 2 bread maker recipe books - she was well pleased with those - bet I know what we're having for tea on our next visit! :D
Still waiting for the visit from my 2 - well only one actually as the eldest phoned earlier to say she wasn't feeling well :(
i got my mother a bunch of flowers and a book... as well as a soppy card.
felt a bit of a cheapskate but i spent an absolute fortune on her for her birthday a few weeks ago so i'm skint now

this seems to be the norm for those who have been married long enough to have teenagers. My hubby did the same to me he will pay later on though I will just wait.

Trying to give me Ideas :D
I bought my mother a necklace one she had said a few weeks ago she liked.
A nice mothers day card next week its her birthday so I will have to be looking for something special as she is 79 and doesn't look a day over 60.

I think its a bit sad that we have to consider ourselves 'cheap' if we dont spend massive amounts on holidays like this :(

I just would have liked an acknowledgement of the day.Didn't mean I wanted a card or flowers or chocs.Just a hug and a cup of tea in bed would have gone a long way... :(

As usual the countrys gone mad with this commercialised load of crap.
It is maddening that that during this period the price of flowers almost nearly doubles in price looming up to the day.
I refused to pay and contribute to this scandalous rip off when my mother was alive and bought her something practical and something she actually wanted rather than succumb to these money grabbing flower retailers.
Now tho as with Fathers Day I have no choice with both parents dead as the only thing I can buy is flowers to adorn the grave and I am not alone in this.
:(
