Thanks! This one always trips me up!

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Not an issue for me anymore :( but when my mum was alive I always bought cards a year ahead because they were not usually out here in time.

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Thank goodness for M&S online :)

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

That is always my plan but if I remember to do it I cant find them a year later!

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Or Tesco's home delivery for the old vino :lol:

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

This year I'll be seeing my Mum and my MIL :ohmy: the day before Mother's Day, so can take them gifts..hmm..now what to buy??!!:unsure:

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Yep I land in Blighty on the 31st March she can wait :wub:

I will send a card from the US just to keep the peace.

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

I know... it'll be my first without my mother. Went into Clintons in London today and had to walk right back out again because of the 'Mothers' Day' stuff everywhere. :( :( :(

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

thanks for the reminder!

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

To my eternal shame I forgot the last UK mothers' day my mum was alive and she didn't make it to the US one.:(

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

I still find it hard 3 years later.

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

I am betting she didn't need a card to know how much she meant ;)

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

This is easily the worst experience of my life. So painful. :(

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

What Ash said. :D

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

THORNTON'S! OMG I miss them so much!!!

What a great idea for a gift. I received the reminder from Interflora but it seems like we always do flowers - this would make a nice change.

Thanks! :thumbup:

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Aye, thanks.

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

thanx all, you have made me the hero!

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

I knew you'd visit me one day if I sent enough perverted karma:rofl:

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

LMAO I better make sure the curtains are shut at night ;)

Thank god for small mercys, that I will be in Nofolk of the beaten track :sneaky:

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

oh bugger...can't find the card I got last year...and it's just a couple days after my old dears birthday.

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Aww Dean, I'm so sorry for you.. No use to you now but it does get easier :wub:

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Thanks for the heads up.. Last year I got caught out because I thought (stupidly) that I would be able to get cards here. It'll have to be flowers :)

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

I miss thorntons, i can guarentee that within the first week of moving back i would have visited there and brought some toffee lol.

I use cadburys direct a lot to deliver gifts to pple, they do a nice bouquet of flowers with some choccie for 25 pound and the shipping is reasonable. I always put a search in for discount coupons too on the net and you can always find one lol.

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

I have an old school friend who lives that way;)

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Thanks, sambapink. :wub:

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

I had the same thing on the first fathers day after I lost my dad - full blown meltdown in the card shop.

As Samba said - it does get easier - still stings a little bit though.

Re: Mothers Day in UK
 

Thank you for the heads up! I often get caught out, despite my very best intentions. I use this company to send cards when I haven't managed to post anything in time. It's a great contingency plan, and whilst I may not have written them personally, the words and thoughts are mine. More importantly for me, the cards say Mum not Mom.
