What are you doing for your Mum this mothers day

[pyrocam]

What are you guys doing for your mum this year?

Im a bit stuck here, my mum has just moved to England so the usual chocs and flowers thing is kinda out of the question.

4 days and counting....

[inlinefour]

I'll probably send her an ecard, since she lives on the other side of the World...

Mine's in the UK too.

Might send 'er a text or sumthin', if she's lucky.

It seems like all the Mum's are in the UK!! It is not Mothers Day over there so it will be a nice surprise for them if you call them!! If you get a Kia ora phone card it only costs 7 cents a minute to the UK on a land line. Or a Yabba card and you can call UK mobiles for 12cents a minute!!! cheap aye ;o)

They are 11 hours behind at the moment if the idea works for you guys.

That's what I will be doing.

[Motu]

This is my first year without a mother....makes me realise what a good son I was to forget all those Mothers Days over the years - I'll still go and see her though...

[Sniper]

Mum in Aus, me save money

[bugjuice]

there's always interflora and Thorntons in the UK that do web-orders. Just send a small bunch via the web (and be prepaired for a nice cc bill)..

mothers day in the UK isn't at the same time. No idea when it is, but I know it's not the same time of year, so they won't be busy

It was on the 6th of March. Doh!

[Waylander]

I thought mother's day was last sunday? That may have been the reason for her no suspecting anything like all the previous years...

thats not a bad idea. CBF buying a card for 1 call.
vodafone charge 49c off peak.

might make her a video of new zealand etc etc with me and my bro. that'd be nice.

[pommie girl]

There's so much you can do via the internet - just get out there surfing, plus, as it's not actually mother's day in the UK, they won't have hiked the prices up for everything. No excuse for not sending a card too - the mail tends to be really quick from here to the UK!!

[Biff]

Mother's Day?! In May?!
Grrreat, since I missed Mothers day in the UK I can make up for it now.

Anyone know anywhere online I can buy rubber gloves and tea towel. She deserves to be spoilt after all.



Biff ducks as all the feminists and whingers on KB take issue with his sexist attitude. Albeit a bloody joke for heavens sake.

:killingme ahh thats awesome. I read somewhere (hope not somewhere else on here a little speech/poem thing that goes like

no dont worry mum
put down that teatowel
put away that washing liquid
for today is your special day and I dont want you to touch a single plate
until tomorow when Im not here, that is your job after all.

and same as biff. if you take offence to this please email me at /dev/null its a pt

But seriously. what about if I got some nice footage of NZ and the family over here and edit it up all nice and slow like. and dub in 'only yooooo' song that I forget the rest of the lyrics to. its proberly a love song not suitable to send my loverly mother anyway

[mikey]

get her a megadeth CD that i been wanting for myself for a while

[Slipstream]

What am I getting :eek:

...BTW I thought mothers day was on the 8th...or the 10th...or something......

My mum's getting a letter...and my Gran is getting a combined birthday/mothers day gift, of me as her servant/chauffer for the weekend :niceone:

:whocares:

[StoneChucker]

Hopefully getting mum a film camera with lens and tripod. I think she wants to start taking up amatuer photography, and the shitty camera she has now is no good for taking zoom shots of birds (since the old one has no zoom!)

But that may not work out, waiting to hear. If not, err the usual I guess: Card, perfumes/soaps, and other girly stuff :killingme

[Badcat]

This is my first year without a mother....makes me realise what a good son I was to forget all those Mothers Days over the years - I'll still go and see her though...

this will be my third, and it's a hard day - especially now i have a 14 month old son she would have adored.
you have my sympathy, motu.

[Quasievil]

Im going to go and race my bike at Taupo and write "for mum" on the tank on a piece of electrical tape.She is will be touched deeply I reckon !!!!!!

:niceone:

Umm…no offence folks but I think this whole mother day thing is a big BS…a creation of our fricken capitalism world with only one thing in mind: Marketing.
As for me, I don’t need any mother’s day to do something good for my mom, or call or get her something. I’m doing it every week. My mom doesn’t wait for mother’s day hoping she will be treated specially…she is a mom and she should be treated that way every day of the year…

Now all mom might not be the same, but so far all the mom’s I know they are genuinely caring, so they are loved very much.

I find it real silly that there has to be a mother’s day to make people realize that oh! I gotta call my mom or get her something…It’s just superficial and hypocritical to me..

Just my though…..

My Mum is in the UK like yours - so I've sent her a card & will give her a call.

[sparrow_34]

My Mum's on the road somewhere between Melbourne and Perth. I guess it will have to be the trusty old e-card and a call to her mobile.

I was going to go out shopping tomorrow for something but funny enough I come home today and Dad has brought a foot spa bath which I owe him money for now without asking me - I say another piece of junk that will be to fiddly to use and get thrown up in the loft (Wonders why the ceiling is cracking :laugh: ), dad will end up being the only one going to use it, or given to someone else. Have to give dad some credit for doing something like this as it’s a first but anyways I can never win. :whocares:

I think Flowers, Chocolate and Card is the best option -Its Personal and it tastes good :Punk:

That's what I think too - but now my mother has gone I realise all the opportunities I missed to be there or just say hi,she was a pretty good mum to me,it really hurts now to think I wasn't a very good son.
