    I had a lovely day too.

    DS was under instructions not to wake me up before 7. So he comes in at 6.15 asking to see my phone to check the time!!! But i was spoilt, i had a tea made (first ever one by DS) chocs, flowers, little candles, 1 hand made card and one shop bought. He went to so much effort!

    Nothing for me, second year running, from either of mine....same at Christmas and birthday too!

    Sorry, hope you're not upset by this.

    Same thing for my friend, she got a Christmas present last year but paid for it herself. Doesnt take much to get a card.

    Well I think mother's day is a load of old nonsense and I won't be expecting my kids to buy anything for me when they're old enough to understand what the day is all about. I did get a card from each - most likely made at their school teacher's insistence. I called my own mum and sent her a gift voucher - more out of obligation because I know she'll sulk for a month if i don't get her anything.

    Bah humbug and all that...
