Default Oops! Forgot my mums birthday

I think I'm becoming more and more distant to things going on in the UK. Not really an excuse though for forgetting your mums birthday is it. Especially since I'd sent a card for my nieces birthday on the 11th. Oh well, guess I'm making a trip to Hallmark for a "sorry I missed" card.

Maybe this would lessen the blow?

Yes, something along those lines might work. Thanks.

It's not appropriate for Mums (unless you're in the habit of buying your mum lingerie for her birthday), but Figleaves.com has a most excellent solution - the "Blame it on us" service:

"Are you panicking because you have forgotten someone's birthday, Mother's Day, a special occasion, or even your wedding anniversary? Don't know what you can do to make things better? Worry no more.

Figleaves can come to your rescue with our 'Blame it on us' service. We will take full responsibility for your lateness.

Simply select the gift you would like to give to that special person. At the checkout, when you are paying for your goods, just select 'Blame Us' as the gift wrapping type and we will include a card that takes full responsibility for the late arrival (we will blame problems in our warehouse).

So now you can really say "it’s in the post" with confidence!"
