Shelly that menu doesn't sound too good, you and daughter should just go out for lunch together and leave the boys to cook their own!!
I think my tribe are planning to take me out for lunch, I hope so because if not they're not getting any here.
Hope everyone is well and Rita is feeling better,
Have a lovely day,

Cath xx ~~~~~~~~~~to all.

Morning All !

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL YOU MOTHERS

Catherine, You forgot to make the breakfast .As it's Mothers Day I'll forgive you.

Marilyn,
Your Big Boobs, are those your 'Flip Flops' that Pete told you to cover up in Florida ? ROFL

How did the grandson do at his Rowing ? Was it a Scull, Four or Eight and I nearly forgot, was it a Gig. Gig Rowing is very popular on the South Coast.

Wish I had a £ for every mile I've rowed a boat and paddled a canoe.
I could treat you all to a bag of chips.

Looking forward to our walk today and our meal afterwards. The Trossachs area is really lovely, I have been going there for donkeys years, always find something new to interest me though.

Have a nice day ya all............and if you're a Mother.....get pampered.

Morning Cath and Stephen and all others
Nice clear morning here. Hoping to get the gate painted today while it is still dry. Did the fence yesterday, but it needs another coat.
Lovely meal at my daughters last night, pork medallions, rice and veg, then strawberries and creme fraiche on merangue(pavlova), small glass of cava and good company. Son and his wife were there too. Two nice cards and a bouquet of roses. Thats before the spa day and massage !! Just had a text from our youngest think she'll be over later.

Got the decorating products yesterday, now need to crack on and get that room finished.

Catch you later.

Happy Mothers Day everyone (excluding Stephen and Dermot............... your day will come !!! )

Linda :o) XxX

'What comfort a child gains from the warmth of a mother’s kiss'.

Where would any of us be without a mother?

Just a wee thing to think about

What a Friend we have in Mother,
She will all our secrets share
We should never keep thing from her
Tell her all and she'll be there

Oh, What tender loves she gives us,
when in sorrow or despair
treat her kindly treat her gently
She will listen she'll be there

Day by day as she grows older
she's the familys guiding star
Don't forget the Prayers she taught you
You may need them by and by

Though her hair is turned to silver
Send her flowers sweet and fair
Dropa card or send a letter
She will listen she'll be there

When her eyes are closed in slumber
Gently kiss her Icy brow
Fold her hands upon her bossom
She will rest in Heaven now.

Though your days are dark and dreary
and your Cross is hard to bear,
Don't forget the Prayers she taught you
She will listen she'll be there.


I have carried the above Poem with me through thick and thin since 1964.

I know the words by heart.

The last thing I did for my Mum was to kiss her brow and fold her hands over her chest. She was at peace. Her prayers helped me.

morning im whating for daughter to come back from church
then we are going shoping

and think you are right we will get some think to eat out with out the old man and boys

Oh Stevey.....what a lovely poem ....I loved it it, nearly made me weep .

Now I am waiting for flowers to be delivered ,my youngest son has just phoned to say have you received your delivery yet mum ?

Well if they don't come by this afternoon I might as well go and pick them up !!

Shelly ....go on spoil yourself after all you do for your lot ....and buy yourself a prezzie see what hubby says about it when you get home ..LOL

I have just finished all the veggies ,,,,that's the hardest part , them runner beans took forever.....mind I did have 4 packs .

Linda ..what beautiful Churches that you sent me, was not aware they had any in Moscow left !!

Sat down now for my cuppa.....

Hi everybody, sorry I've missed a couple of days, I've been busy in the garden.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers........... including Mrs Stephen and Mrs Dermot.

Going to have a quick read of the thread now.

Rita, what a carry on you've had, I hope the medication has started to work now and you're feeling a little bit better. I've been thinking about little Ryan and wondering how he was. By the law of averages things have to start to improve for you and your family soon.

Maddie, I've got quite a few of those scarfs, wearing a couple together works as well. Did you get your beef cooked? I Did a duck for dinner today.

Marilyn, are you going for a holiday or as a baby sitter?

I'm waiting to see what Shelly got for Mother's Day.......... especially from the l3 year old.

I know Linda and Mo always do well with the prezzies and I'm sure the rest of you will as well.

Cath and Pat, we can send you the photos of everybody if you want them, I think Jean already has them.

Stephen if I had a £ for every time I'd rowed a boat I'd only be able to buy a bag of chips between us all.

Hope all goes well tomorrow Yvonne, I'll be thinking of you and hubby.

Pualine about time you showed up. ?
I have trouble with my tinittus still it is driving me up the wall really is staying at a high pitched ringing no releif at all. I took two pain killers strong ones I said to my daughter if the kill me well too bad, it might be better than having this constant noise I do not expect any help from the law of avergaes I have given up all hope now.

Ryan is home for the weekend he goes back to London tomorrow to St Thomas hospital he has to have another MRI poor little mite my granddaughter asked why ? he had one two days ago at the other hospital. it appears they are ignoring that one they know what they are looking for so want to do their own MRI he will be in for two to three days.
his sister Megan is rushing around helping him. I think she is going to be a nurse when she is old enough lol.

Rita

Rita, I think it's more like Murphy's law that you live by.

Megan has had enough experiences with hospitals to know exactly what nurses do, I'm sure she'll make a good little nurse for Ryan. Let's hope they find out what's wrong with him and get it put right as soon as possible.

Sitting here waiting for the trifle to arrive Maddie, even if it makes a mess in the cyber hatch, I will lick it all up.
Sorry I missed the main meal, but my daughter took me to Bingo this afternoon, and even though we didn't win, it was a most enjoyable time.

I hope that all our mums on here have had a wonderful day.

My children went overboard again, the same as every other year.
I have flowers all over the house, and chocolates coming out of my ears.
One of my daughter treated me to a box of toiletries from the Body Shop.
Who's a lucky girl then, yes me. But to be honest with you, the card I receive means more to me than anything else.

Hi
I'm back from my trip to my friends house. It's int he middle of the country. This morning I looked out the window and I saw sheep in the field.
I'll send Marilyn a photo of me and then she can send it aroud. I'll get that sorted. I know I've got some of me of the laptop. It's just a case of finding them!

Hello all,
I have had a lovely day and been really spoilt. Flowers from OH, flowers and a new watch from eldest daughter, c.d from middle daughter, money from son and a hamper full of all my favourite chocolate goodies from my youngest daughter and they all chipped in to take me out for lunch.
I hope everyone else has had a great day too.
Pauline glad you're ok and I would love to see the photos, will pm you. Will send a photo of me when I know how, as we're off on holiday soon there might even be an up to date one.
Rita I'm pleased Ryan was able to spend mothers day at home.
Stephen what a lovely poem, brought a tear to my eye.
Marilyn that coat would have had me screaming!!!
Maddie I love yorkshire puddings, bigger the better, lol.
Mo you did well for gifts, its nice to feel appreciated.
Waking the dead tonight, one of few programmes I watch so might not get back on

Cath xx

Shelly hope you got taken out for lunch and didnt have to eat burnt offerings, lol. xx

Hi Everyone,

My lot has just gone ...Pewwhhh.

I had a Jamie Oliver cook book from my eldest and 4 cards and the most beautiful bouquet of flowers from my youngest son with a vase.......looks lovely .

I cooked a lamb roast dinner and my grand kids said to their mum & dad why don't you cook like grandma does ..LOL...... I had to laugh as this particular son is a fabulous cook that you wouldn't get any better than in a restaurant.

So here we are getting things back to normal after the storm ..

Hope you all had a great day & lots of goodies.

Shelly I'm dying to know what the boys bought you if any .? ..LOL

Good to see you back Pat. It sounds like it was a lovely peaceful break away.

It sounds like we have been spoilt rotten.
I just hope that Shelly's family remembered this year. She does so much for all of them.

It made a nice change Mo but it's nice to be home!

It's true what they say Pat, "theres no place like home". It's oh so nice to go travelling, but so much nicer to get home. That sounds like a good theme for a song. LOL
