Hi Ivyleaf :wave: Thanks for the welcome back
We used to put chocolate in our mousetraps-apparently mice like chocolate

Thanks Cath, I'll try that - mind you, I've just eaten all my chocolate - they might fancy a little bit of bread with Nutella on it though! I didn't stop to read your post earlier as i was in a hurry and have just read it again. So sorry about your poor DD. Sadly there's nowt to be done for glandular fever except resting!

taplady - So glad to hear it wasn't a heart attack! A horrible fright for you both though ((((HUGS))))

afternoon!

bit of a rant coming up here.

After what happened yesterday am a bit fragile anyway but am now feeling rather tearful. Nothing for me on mothers day. DS2 only remembered as he was eating his lunch (cooked by me) when an ad came on tv(he asked me the other day what I wanted and I said a few daffs) but in the end no card or anything:( DS1 is still in bed:mad: no card either from him although he did get me a cd 2 weeks ago as an early present. I just feel rather taken for granted, I didn't want much - just a sign that they care and are grateful for everything I do for them but it appears both are too selfish to realise.
I am on the verge of tears. I know its silly but it matters.
I went to a lot of trouble for my Mum and always have.
anyway sorry for the rant but sometime you have to get it off your chest.:(

Awww sorry to hear that Taplady, boys can be a bit self centred sometimes and no, I don't think your being silly at all. It DOES matter.

If DH wasn't feeling so bad you might have asked him to have a word with them telling them how you must be feeling as they haven't shown that they care today, of all days.

Thanks Chrisca, I think DH realises how I'm feeling and you are right - boys can be very self centred.

Taplady, so glad that it was a false alarm with your DH he will have to take it easy now xx

Sorry to hear your sons have forgotten mothers day, typical boys eh ?? any way, Happy Mothers day to you, from me and my DD xx


Lillibet, Happy mothers day to you too, hopefully your son will one day see what his father has been doing xx

I know how you feel Taplady. I have been looking after my eldest DD for nearly a month as she has been and still is very unwell, she has had 6 lots of antibiotics prior to getting glandular fever and today she gave me a card and gift and then went on to treat me like I'm something she has stood in and is so unappreciative of the sacrifices I make for her-I have given up everything andforefone everything to look after her and today because me and her sister were sick of the rubbish she has watched on tv for over 2 hours, it was suggested that we change channels or did something else and she hit the roof and went on to tell me how she will be leaving home at 16 etc etc and how I don't care and how I have fallen out with her and that I'm being really nasty to her etc.
She forgets that I'm at her beck and call all day and all night-OH is even sleeping in a different room so she can sleep with me so that when she is really upset and in pain in the night-I'm there for her instantly.
She is unwell and my OH thinks I'm run down because of all the stress and worry-I feel really teary today and have let them flow twice already-sorry, rant over
((((hugs)))) to all who need or want them

Boys! They are totally brain dead at times!

When DS was about 10 it was missed, we went off with card and flowers for my Mum, DS & DH with us, and still they didn’t twig! It wasn’t until my Mum asked what I had got and I said “Nothing” then flew off to the loo, they realised. I don’t do tears and getting upset, so they realised what they had done, totally innocently I know, hurtful all the same, DS who is a softee really was gutted, and when we went off to Meadowhell the week after went and bought me a Thornton’s Easter Egg out of his pocket money, I accepted it gratefully but explained it didn’t make up, and the present didn’t matter it was a card on the day was all I expected.

This year we are out here, he claims to have sent a card (probably posted far too late) but the post out here is not working, so it may not arrive anyway, but I have had a phone call, a bit short, as tomorrow he is 24 and he had a “good night” last night.

Just remember ladies to ensure your OH’s don’t forget their Mum’s even if you are buddies.

:grouphug: Lillibet & tattycath & taplady:grouphug:

Maybe a week of their least favourite meals may get the message home!

Take care – DG

Happy Mothers Day to all the mummies
Hugs to all of those missing their mum today for whatever reason (my own mum died of cancer 6 yrs ago aged 46) i miss her terribly

I was given some lovely gift from my 3 Dkids and a large bunch of flowers from OH.
Have been sat laughing at OH this past half hour,he put his wedding ring on that he has been unable to wear for some time (cue a bit of weight gain ...lol)

Well he has only gone and got it stuck fast it wont budge lol so he has carted himself off to A&E to have it removed lol
Bit of a drastic way to say he needs a new bigger wedding ring lol

Well have to go kids looking for food

Tattycath (((hugs))) they just dont realise what they do to us do they x

Donny Gal - at 10 its understandable but my 2 are 16 and 19:rolleyes: and they know exactly what day it is.
I have just had a beautiful PM which has made me cry - thanks Pam. I really feel like doing a 'Tru' at the moment. I think the bank of Mum and Dad will be shut for a bit as will Mum's Taxi service.

Dissdissbiff - (((hugs))) to you today and to all those missing their Mums x
