    I got my mum a gift card from George @ Asda because she needs some new clothes!

    I've popped that inside a homemade card - I've been colouring in all afternoon! :)

    You could always make a card?

    And mothers day is a tradition going back hundreds of years, when cards weren't around, so if you want to be traditional about it, you don't have to give a card. I am sure most mothers would appreciate breakfast in bed, or something equally as thoughtful.

    Now Father's Day.... that is a made up occassion!

    I took my Daughter into town today so she could buy me a pressie. We went into the supermarket because i knew the Quality Street were half price, so I showed her them to which she replied I want to get mint sticks because we all like them. So anyway I said ok im not looking and told her to get them, she actually asked a man to get her the Quality Street that I showed her as they were on the top shelf, she then told me hed got the mint sticks.
    We went further down and she saw a basket with plants and told me she was buying them for Grandma so she bought them.

    To cut a long story short she bought me the Quality Street and the basket with plants in so I will have a suprise tomorrow, having told me that she was buying me mint sticks and buying the basket of plants for Grandma. For a 7 yr old she really is sweet, wanting to make sure I had a suprise for tomorrow:)
    Im really proud of her !!!!!!

    I got my mum a card.

    I'll also try and see her tomorrow (she lives the other side of Bournemouth.)
    My brother got her some wine, but I'll foot the petrol bill! :D

    But my stepdads father is ill, so I might not be able to visit.
    I hope he's better soon. :-|

    I have a card and some Dutch Iris bulbs...
    BUT

    Did you know that France introduced mothers day as a way o increase the population and encourage the idea that motherhood was a good and worthy thing and in a way to keep women in the home..of course now its just to sell cards,

    I sent my mum a card 2 weeks ago to tell her I love her...who needs mothers day?
