Its Mothers Day in 11 days. March 22nd. Not too early to start planning.

[Kate!]

So Mothers Day is approaching.

Do you celebrate?
What are your plans?

If your a Tibb mum or wife what are you hoping for?

I don't have my mum anymore but buy for Karls mum as she is lke a mum to me. She needs new shoes so am taking her shopping to get some. And we will probs take her out for lunch on the day. Corona Virus permitting of course. Might all be housebound :fist:

A nice "happy mother's day" text

[LaLaLand]

We're going out for a meal to town as a family, the 5 of us. :)

[smudgie]

No idea.
Daughter-in-law is coming over from California next week if travel is still allowed.
I will chat to daughter on messenger.
I do know the pesky son will not get in the front room, he can say hello through the glass door, he has given me yet another cold this week.
I think we will be self isolating by then.

flowers and a card plus i have to make sure that the brats have organized stuff for ex-Mrs Lt but i have 2 good girls who dont forget

Yes that'll happen for sometime yet. Time heals as they say but not totally. I still have my moments 5 years on. Went to Church last month and they sang Amazing Grace. I had to leave...was in tears.

[Calderyon]

It's in May here. 10th of.

Really sorry to hear that. My mum died right around mother's day (almost to the day) 6 years ago. It takes a while to sink in, the first few mothers days after that were a strange time. Don't worry too much if it feels like things won't get better, would be my only advice... It's OK to just feel the feelings as they come.

[user104658]

For myself this year (or rather, for the lovely mother of my own kiddos) I will be helping them prep their mothers day thingumajigs and whatchemacallits. I won't say what because she might spy on the thread :suspect:

[rusticgal]

Appreciate all your kind comments and words of wisdom...a draining sad day but my mum had a good long life and you can’t ask for more than that.
So Mother’s Day I will be raising a glass for the great mum she was...

[Ammi]

Sadly it was my dear mums funeral today....no more Mother’s Day for me.

...I’m so, so sorry, Rusti...:hug:...it’s the same for one of my friends right now...they say that time is a healer, I’m not sure that it is...but we start to remember the smiles and happy as well and we start to remember the life, rather than just the loss and the sadness...I really am so sorry..:hug:...

Oh no :( Sending you well wishes. Mother’s Day doesn’t have to end for you though you can still keep her memory alive on the day x

In all seriousness there's a shop by me where you can buy a small box of those biscuits for £1

Oh I love those.............about a billion calories in them though I'd say

Actually they're not as bad as I thought, 180cal per 4 biscuits, that's pretty good considering they taste so buttery and delicious

My mums birthday is a couple of days before Mother’s Day (selfish wench) but it looks like she might spend both in the hospital this year so we’re gonna get a cake and gifts and take them up there for her, give the nurses some cake too while we’re at it

Love these :drool:

[Vicky.]

Don't usually do anything tbh. Kids tend to buy me some tat which I act very grateful for (daughter always gets me a teddy, then cries that night for the teddy asnd voila..she has a new teddy!) ad I send my mam a card but thats usually it.

Thisd year, my mam wants me and my sister to go to bingo with her for mothers day! Which tbh, I am sort of looking forward to..more for the day out with them than the actual bingo mind, as I have a feeling I may be beaten up by little old ladies for laughing or something as apparently they take it very seriously..Gavins taking the piss, saying we are like a gaggle of 70 year olds but meh. Should be fun.

[Kizzy]

My condolences Rusticgal :hug:

[Liam-]

aww hope she's ok Liam? :hug:

Yeah she’s great now tah, she’s been in a few weeks, but they’re just keeping her in for physio now, we would take her flowers but, respiratory wards are a obviously a bit touchy about that :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Bring her fluffy socks instead :love:

[Kizzy]

@Kizzy :worry:

Hey! :( wat ch my brats buy me something delicious just so they can eat it! ... stupid kids!

[Livia]

it's my first Mother's Day... can't wait.

[AnnieK]

I'm sure I will get flowers usually tulips, my fave spring flowers. I'm not holding my breath too much....I asked my son what he was going to get me for my birthday a few weeks ago and he said "a stairway to heaven coz you're old!" I'm not sure what I'm raising :laugh:

I always go to my mum's bench in the garden, rain or shine and have a chat with her....:love: Funnily enough, I always think I am going to get really upset but its regular days when I have something she would love to hear that I find more upsetting....

[rusticgal]

That's good news..

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81tlGxF25GL._SL1500_.jpgI haven't had those since I was a kid.

My Grandad always used to have them in, but he died in 1993.

If my mother was in hospital for her birthday I swear she would have already made us pledge to take in some alcohol on the sly.

She has old age planned out that way. Apparently if shes in a care home, I have to sneak her malibu, my sister cigs (as sister looks down on drinking..) and my brother chocolate (as he looks down on drinking and smoking, though takes many drugs himself :laugh: ) every week!

[Cherie]

I will NOT be going to any eaterie, Mother's day one of the worst days to go out. Not relaxing at all, I usually get flowers and something even though I tell them not to bother
