ok, did you make your mum's mothering Sunday a day she will never forget?  flowers, choccies, visit to the zoo? what DID you do?Well I went out and got a bouquet of carnations, they would not fit totally into my back pack so all the way to my mum's house all I could see in my o/s mirror was a load of carnations being blown all over the show sticking out of the top of my back pack as I weaved in out of the traffic on my Honda 125 I thought "any minute they'll be blown out and land in the road where some artic'll drive straight over 'em" luckily they survived intact and upon arrival at my mum's I found her with a wallpapering table set up, a bucket of glue and steam coming out of her ears you can guess how I spent my NEXT couple of hours ------------------ |

Mother's day isn't until May here in the US. "2nd Sunday in May in North America, fourth Sunday in Lent in Europe" according to the Wikipedia. ------------------ Switch Mayhem now available! Get it here |
