Happy Mother's Day to all

It's not celebrated over here until May sometime.... but I always tell my lot, that even though they can't get hold of a card with 'Mum' on, they can be nice to me all day, cos one I'm British and two, I'm a MUM

Elder teenager declared that it was all commercialised, but both deigned to make me a card wishing me a 'special and cheerful day'. Had I been grumpy lately???? Made them wash the car and hubby did the washing up.

I hope all of you had a great day, and your kids were quiet as mice, and pampered you with breakfast in bed

In England, it's Mothering Sunday which is always the fourth Sunday in Lent. It's not as commercial as it is over here when it's the first Sunday in May.
