So this sunday is Mothers Day any good ideas outside of flowers, choc etc ?

Sometimes the shop obsessions with these "special" days goes to far - I've mentally blanked out all the marketing.... as a consequence it is a bit surprising to hear that it is this sunday....

Unfortunately, just remebering to call on the day is quite a shock to my mother ....

Breakfast in bed, and a nice family dinner..... Simple and not so expensive....

I find women, never get bored of flowers... esp if you find their 'favorite' flowers.... My wife loves lillys

Still holding out hope for the quadruple

Yeah actually batman you've hit on something - the stressful bit of mothers day is balancing ALL the mothers expectations.....

My mum expects X, her mum Y and then she is also a mum Z....

I always find that pressure to see all the mothers, when actually sometimes it can be the last thing you want to do...

Call me old fashioned, but I mainly aim to make sure I give my mother something on mother's day, plus prompt / help out the kids to make sure they get my wife something. (This year seems much easier, as school / clubs all seem to be doing it, so my wife will be drowned in a deluge of hand-made cards and gifts in small paper bags). Isn't it enough for a man to be able to come up with something for birthday, valentines day, wedding anniversary, Christmas, etc etc :roll:
