I Wuv you Mummy....

Only one Email this morning..an ad from Amazon...

My Mother is long gone now...but I have a sneaky feeling that if I bought her a decorators kit or a power drill for Mothers Day...she would have battered me to death with it.

Re: I Wuv you Mummy....

lol ...I knew a man who used to buy his wife all sorts of household goods for birthdays christmas etc.. One year he bought her a juicer for their anniversary, when I raised an eyebrow he said whats wrong with it? wouldnt you be pleased if your OH bought you a juicer?

I told him quite bluntly that if my OH bought me a juicer for a special occasion the only thing Id juice would be his face!

When I was first married I used to think it was appropriate to buy household gadgets for Sheila's birthday, etc. She soon put me right on that one !

It makes me think this is a mistake on Amazons part.
I dare bet it was intended for Fathers day!!

Another occasion which has been commercialised out of all proportion . Mothering Sunday was just meant to be a break in lent when those working away picked a bunch of flowers to take home.

Yes your right Meg, i use to go to church on Mothering Sunday with my Mum and all the children had to go up to the front near the altar for a small posy of Pansies and take them to Mum who was sat in the congregation... What's happened?

Re: I Wuv you Mummy....

When my son was in the army and stationed in Belize I received a card for motherīs day. Joking I wrote and asked him where the bouquet was. The following year I received a card with 3 packets of flower seeds inside and a note telling me it was a "do it yourself bouquet".
