I thought mothers day started in the 17th Century. Google seems to think so too. As far as I am aware, it originated with migrant farm workers being allowed one day off a year to go and visit their mothers.

zounds

Found this:

Mothering Sunday has been celebrated in Britain on the fourth Sunday in Lent since at least the 16th century.
The custom possibly originated in the church festival of "Refreshment Sunday" when everyone was expected to revisit the church in which they were baptised, their "mother church." It is a small step from honouring Mother Church to honouring our natural mothers and so in the mid-17th Century the custom grew of children paying special tribute to their mothers on this day. Mothering Sunday became more established by the 18th and 19th Centuries when many people worked away from home as servants to the rich and wealthy (especially girls in service such as cooks and maids), they would be allowed to go home for the day to visit their home church and so naturally they visited their families.

Because if you go to the Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread you can get so much more for your vouchers and its so much fun bargain hunting.

I went on the Boots thread last week and got completely ignored - I asked a polite question 3 times and it was as if I wasn't there - it was like it was a private thread and I had visited uninvited - I was so cross - I should have told whoever was on the thread to BOGOF! Lol

I get frustrated when my posts are missed too, but sometimes perhaps people just don't have answers. Anyway - hope you're not entirely put off, it is a busy thread but a lot of the regulars on there do answer as many questions as they can.
