mothers day dilema

edited March 2010 in The Shed
Ok, my mother has been away for 2 weeks on holiday (coming back tomorrow) and I over-heard a man on the bus mention it is mothers day this Sunday?

So I had no benifit of some subtle hints like leaving the Argos open with a ring around a certain item. Which leaves me in quite a pickle, as there is 1 day left and I would like to continue living at home.


So I am looking for some fast ideas from you guys (as your the smartest collection of people I can contact in short notice) to help me out and give mummy Miyagi a good treat on mothers day.


Money is no object for concern but ideally, under £15 if you can.

    Jobs a good un Mr Miyagi, Sainsburys are still selling Thorntons Chocolates at half price.
    And (subject to availability) there are also some "I Love You Mum" single-use Chopsticks which are priced at a very competitive £2.79. Throw a musical card on top of this and I reckon you will be spending around Ten English Pounds.

    The pleasure is mine wise-one. Have road tested the single-use Chopsticks for you. The bad news is....I think they may be straws :0(

    I got an elephant from sainsbury's for £5 (yes she still likes soft toys) and going out for dinner (probably more expensive, see if I can split that with dad).

    Oh, and my brother's baking a cake.

    I am totally with you. Had it not been for the guy in the seat infornt of me on the number 21 I would not have known either.


    I woke up really late today so I have not been anywhere to get anything still!


    There is a plan though. I am going to Asda and hopefully there will be something nice there under £20 (budget increased due to winning some on poker last night)




    hmmm Jingle your brother might have a good idea there.. some cheap cake mix and some dairymilk.. I might give it a go.

    Ok after looking at the cake mix things it seemed like a lot of trouble so I gave that up, then I spent 25mins looking for some Milk Tray before I gave up.

    I cracked it though, she has just come back from holiday in Benidorm. So I have bought here the DVD box set of Benidorm :D

    genius? we'll have to wait and see.

    Benidorm went down a treat.

    However it did cost £28 minus discount.

    Dont bother with it. I let my sister and ex-wife (thats 2 different people by the way) deal with all that rubbish. She knows I love her 'cos I treat her all year round Just tell her its a scam.

    lollll brilliant comment.

    Im amazed a massive company like moonpig dont do next day delivery on the day before mothers day - surely they're missing out on ma fortune becoz of slack clowns like me???

    I cnt do shopping, so it has to be something ordered online for the bday next saturday, I doubt ordering the take-away 2 weeks running will cut it
