On a mothers day note isn't it frustrating mothers day is in MArch back home but due to it not being here until May you can never get a nice mothers day card I have to sift through all the blank ones... I tell my kids my England born has to pamper me in March and my American born gets to do it in May hahahaha... Nice Try

That's what we do with my Mum, she has 3 Mother's Days (Aussie, England & USA). This year you could buy 2 cards on Mother's Day & send one for the US Mother's day & then keep the other for March of next year, then you'll have one ready. Although with the rate things are going over here, they'll have Mother's day cards out on display in March anyway!!!

Fan dabbie idea...must put it on the calender so I remember though mother was hinting today when I called home said she wasn't sure what day it was on this year but all the shops have everything in... haha looks like England is in for a cold week maybe they are having some of this freezing cold we have here... at least they have lovely gas fires and radiators all we have is baseboard heaters under the drafty window haha...
