    Sorry to hear you’re in pain again. I opened my Mother’s Day present from DS by mistake because I thought it was the seeds I’d ordered - whoops 😬

    The thought that's amusing me today.  Just how many of us have actually taken delivery of our own mother's day presents?
    I know for a fact I have accepted 2 cards (1 MD & 1 birthday I assume) & 2 presents.  He took delivery today of one himself.  I'm prepared to bet that at least part of my birthday present is an Amazon gift card - which will be perfect & will make sure I don't get any duplicates.

    Thanks Foxgloves,I'm off to bed in a minute once I've let B out for her last toilet break, I can't go too early because she will have an accident overnight. DD has already gone to bed as she had her second vaccination and doesn't feel too good either. What a pair we are 🙄
