Mother's Day

[viv41]

Don't forget, if you celebrate it, it's an early Mother's Day this year, on Sunday, 6 March ...

[viv41]

Only me then ?

[woofgang]

given all the advertising, I doubt anyone could miss it

[viv41]

My brother always does ...

Can't forget. We're singing 'Let it be' on Sunday and are very fed-up of rehearsing it! (It's the 'Mother Mary comes to me' line - Paul was writing about his mum.) Straight afterwards, we shoot off 40 miles for a lamb roast lunch with daughter and grandchildren - looking forward to that although this evening they were notified that Scarlet Fever has broken out in their school! The poor kids are still scabby (Chicken-pox) and scaly (eczema - stress of recent move) but at least are more-or-less presentable to the world.

Not for me...

Every day should be a day you think of and celebrate your Mum..And most of all tell her you love her :o)

[237SJ]

Well, I'm certainly not looking forward to that..

[jourdain2]

I did try when she was alive, maizie. 16 years and I still miss her so much....

[granny grump]

Me too jourdain

[mazie]

2 years for me joudain...and every time we were together I told her how much I loved her Thinking of you and your loss xxx


She always expected a Mothers Day card. I don't, such a rip off

[jourdain2]

Your mum never goes, does she? almost in tears now over here. Thank you both.

[jourdain2]

Actually, I've just done the sum and it is 26 years since she left me... I can't believe it. Definitely crying now. xxxx

On Mothers Day I always fetched my Mum over to ours. I would make her favourite lunch and whilst it was cooking we would play gin rummy and drink lager and smoke, she loved a ciggie...I do miss her :o(

[mazie]

Awww...Big hug from me joudain...and don't cry it would make your Mum sad xxx

[jourdain2]

Ta, maizie - still weeping, but I'll come round. Thank you so much :0) xxx

[mazie]

I know, it's not easy...Night, sleep tight xxxx

Last Mothers' Day I came home from work and thought it would be a good idea to stop off at the supermarket to buy a bottle of champagne and some flowers for my mum. She never even saw them because she had decided to go upstairs to her bed to die. I don't like all of the Mothers' Day hype - some of us would rather forget all about it

[marval]

I shall think of my Mum and MIL, both no longer with us.

[mazie]

Awww SJ...That must have hurt xxx Let all just forget about Sunday and get drunk instead :o)

Still remember the horror of my mum's death on Red Nose day when I had been acting daft all day in fancy dress at the school where I was teaching
