Phew, glad YOU remembered!

I bought a card here when it was Oz Mothers Day, and have hidden it away for the last 10 months, it would have been awful to have left it there for another year.

Tell you what Nara - I'm SURE I did that too but Lord knows where it is. Think I'll have to resort to a hand made jobbie!!

I was reminded of the uk date for mothers day in a card shop the other day. Got me thinking though, when is Oz mothers day and can I have both please?

Bix

OZ is on 9 May

Thanks for that Bix. Love the bonsai, really unusual gift.

Thanks to you Bix, mum is not getting her usual tat this year - she will be the proud owner of a bonny wee bonsai named Bruce.

Bix

Glad to be of service

Actually I've used this Newquay company a few times before and so far no trouble at all

I have had great success finding florists local to OZ or NZ family / friends on the net and phoning direct and then using a credit card to pay. This must work from OZ / NZ to back here too

You get a much better choice than the 'Interflora' and its clones and you only have to pay for local delivery not the 1/3 admin charge

In each case the florist has been delighted I took the trouble to contact direct 'all the way from England' and each time the flowers or plants have been great. As a bonus, when on holiday I went to thank the florist at my daughter's mall and got a complementary bunch of roses
