For mothers day? I was gonna get the Borat film for my mum, but she went and bought it herself, so I'm back to square one. What are you getting?

She'll be happy with that, afterall she's always taught me that it's the thought that counts.
Actually I got her a pampering kit thingy
My heart always skips a beat when I see Mothers Day threads etc.
Good Call.
Commercialised bollocks.
Blimey, only £30 for a bunch of flowers if you specifically seek out an expensive shop or use interflora or something.
You could get a huuuuge bunch of lovely ones from tescos or something for under a tenner.
:yes: My Mum usually prfers the Lillies from Tesco. They are about a fiver a bunch and with £20 you can make a really decent looking vase full of them.
I'm not at home though. I'm about an hour away. I'd have to get them delivered and most of the places I've looked at are at least £25 and thats for a tiny bunch :no:
Maybe some flowers too if she's lucky.
i also feel bad for her as it's her first mothers day since her mum died.
Do you think this about everything?
I have no idea - my sister has decided to give her some money for another tatoo...
I am very much skint :crying:
My Nana and Grandma (plus Grandad) will be coming over too, and I'm making them all small flower posies instead of getting big bunches cos it's been all their birthdays lately too and they've had big bunches for that.
It's not costing me much because I got all the ingredients for the baking in with the food shopping last week!
ETA: Just remembered I also bought my mum two mugs last week. She's just turned 50 and stopped working (we call it retired! ) so effectively she's now a lady who lunches and does the occasional bit of housework. The two mugs say "Housework won't kill you - but why risk it!" and "We can't both look good - it's either me or the house!"
