No idea

I was told that it is dependent on number of coupons (not value/no of unique vouchers or percentage of spend)

Thanks and to the others who replied and sent hugs. Just took Mum her T and sat with her for an hour. She told me my brother called and said he has decided she does not need a gardener. My Dad had a lovely garden and every since he died she has insisted it be kept up together. So my brother found someone who basically had about £400.00 off my Mum for taking down the greenhouse and covering 2 borders so the weeds cant get through, then other brother sent a labourer who had £200.00 for mowing the lawn and cutting the hedge. Then no gardener for a few months so I took my mower and did the lawns. ( as Dads mower has disappeared ). In September whilst I was away my sister found another gardener who has been 3 or 4 times and is really good. He also is cheaper and only comes 4 hours at a time.

Anyway they obviously have taken no notice of my email and when my sister just rang and agreed with my brothe I put her straight. I said you lot employed all these gardeners at a cost to Mum when we could have all got together ourselves and done it. I am the only one who inherited my Dad's green fingers and Mum has some lovely pots and hanging baskets I made. So I told her I need a quiet night and maybe she should read the email again.

So went to Mr T and got set of teaspoons, 1 febreeze spray, 2 five beans, 2 reloaded ( 1st I have bought) Carte Dor creme brulee ice cream and 2 finest reduced meals for Mum. Spent the grand sum of something like £4.25 ( approx left receipt in the car and cant be bothered to go out).

Forgot to say to Nikkilala Have a lovely time with DS tommorow.

Your poor mum, it must be awful for her watching the garden go down when your dad looked after it so well Really sorry for all you are going through. If I thought it would work I would suggest you turning round to your kin and saying you were not going to do anything for a month and it is all down to them, problem is I suspect your mum would suffer for this.

You do have one advantage over them though. You are the one spending time with your mum, you are the one that has her company. It may sound strange but I would give anything to be in your position, I lost my mum when I was 20, she never met my kids or my grandson, I miss her and strange things still catch me out, accidentally picked up her engagement ring the other day, my step-mother told my father off for giving me her jewellery (she thought she should be able to give it to her daughter but that is another story ) but I am glad he did, but for some reason this time I just wanted to blub.

All I can say is enjoy your mum while you can, and forget about everything going on around you when you are with her if you can.
