Hi, LB

I just got back.

Daddy and I took Mums out for lunch.

It was jolly, but ... I drove, so I couldn't drink.

I'm just having a large Fino to make up for it ... and looking for a DVD to watch.

Glad you had a good Mother's Day.

My day was perfect when my daughter returned safe and sound from Koh Samui Thailand this morning. Her whole week was literally washed out.

Been at work all day listening to people moan about the cost of mothers day cards,. they should think themselves lucky they have a mother to buy one for.
Got home and youngest son has left his card at work, I;'m taking him into work in a bit, and will call at my daughter and son's. Then home to have a rest as back at work in the morning,

My 2 eldest are away. My youngest made me lunch - spaghetti hoops on toast - before clearing off to his friends for the afternoon. Mr O has gone fishing. I'm all on my lonesome listing a load of tat on Ebay and having the odd nip of Baileys

My eldest sister took my mother out yesterday to some massive floral beano further up the county of Cornwall - beyond Lostwithiel and apparently there were thousands there. So the family had given my sis money to pay for the plants that my mother chose. Then we had dinner out. Just as well, my local normally gets 80 to 100 covers on a Sunday and I was down there this morning for a coffee, having picked up the Sunday rags. They were looking at 170 for lunch and around a 100 for dinner (the food is good though).

So have spent the day cutting grass and wild garlic for her - acres of the Sugar and, single handedly, I could have provided Covent Garden with a supply for your salads. I have now had a long bath and refreshed myself so we will see what there is for dinner and crack a decent bottle of wine.

Hi, just back from lunch at Harvesters!!

Hope you all had a lovely day.

Two daughters, son and daughter in law visited, the house was full of laughter, banter and fun. Hubby and I enjoyed every moment - we are so lucky.

Hi, ladybird - I, too, had a lovely Mothers Day. My son & his mate took me and mate's mum out for lunch. I ate so much I nearly burst and it's so nice not to have to cook Sunday dinner!! The only shame was that son's girlfriend has gone away for the weekend, so she & her mum didn't come (she forgot it was Mothering Sunday before she arranged it!!).

Glad you had a lovely day. Not mothers day here in Spain until first Sunday in May

Visited my Mum in the Care Home today - I opened her cards, put the plants and flowers I had bought her in her room, and sat holding her hand while she drifted in and out of sleep. She seemed to recognise me and Dad a bit more today.

We sat looking through a scrapbook I have made of old photos - when she sees the ones of herself of years gone by, tears run down her face. It is heartbreaking.

Then came home, made my Dad stay for Sunday lunch, as he has not been well lately.

I don't even get a card from my Son. (:0(

[albaqwerty]

aww Den (hugs) At least you know you are a good thoughtful and kind daughter.

Sons are a different breed :)

[pusskin]

[DEN53]

Mine was the same as every other, got up, opened cards, had to do weekly shopping, visit my mum, unpack shopping, walk dog, visit mother in law, cook tea then put feet up. Got flowers and chocs, kids all doing own thing. Least I get peace and quiet now they are all adults. Bottle of wine and chocs for me, may share with hubby if he's good.lol
