Maybe you could cheer her up with something like that as you won't be able to get home.

Re: Mothers Birthday this week, big guilt time for me
Hell I've just noticed this thread says Mothers Birthday, I thought it said Mothers Day this week. Last night I told my hubby that it's Mothers Day this Sunday, thought it was strange as it's usually in May. Oh well I'll keep quiet and maybe I'll get lucky and have two lots of pressies.

Re: Mothers Birthday this week, big guilt time for me
It was my mum's birthday on the 2nd April, I sent a card etc and phoned her on the day, she talked to the kids and we had a nice chat. But apparently my sister had to go and see her a few hours later 'cause she had become so upset that we weren't there, it's hard to know what to do for the best sometimes....
