Mothers day present

[davebullet]

The boys and I were discussing what we could get mum for mothers day at the dinner table. Mum had just got up to clear the table after cooking dinner and was about to do the dishes.

She had mentioned that ironing had become a little harder and the old iron didn't have the same steam it used to. Taking this as a hint, I whispered to the boys about getting her a new iron. They thought that was a good idea.

She's also hinted at having us treat her during the weekend. So we've decided she can choose which day she does the housework. We'll also tell her in advance what dinner we'd like so she doesn't have the stress of deciding on the day.

Glad the kids helped out this year with ideas. Made it a lot easier for me.

Well, f**k me! You are all heart, ain't ya?
She should be grateful that you are thinking of her, tho, eh?

A few years ago, we had 5 teenagers at home, plus ourselves. This made for a HUGE amunt of laundry on a daily basis. There was some debate as to what would be a good present for me for Mothers Day. I suggested if they really wanted to do something nice for me they could do the washing, all of it, pegged out and brought in, folded up and put away.

They did! I sat and watched all the washing being done, I did not have to lift a finger. Best present I have ever had for Mothers Day!

Maybe sharpen the axe so it will be easier for her to chop the firewood too. A newer bigger vaccum cleaner too ???

Ha ha I look forward to next Sundays post:

Wifes not happy with Mothers Day Pressy - what should I do?

Mrs B has made it very clear over the years that if I ever present her with a iron for Mothers Day, Birthday, Xmas etc then I can expect to have a permanent imprint of it's hot base on my forehead........

Something about not actually enjoying ironing - it's a chore not a interest.

Maybe you should look at a nice new vacuum cleaner.......

.......it's a chore not a interest.......

Not if the light are always turned off

She got a sore back, so I bought her a chainsaw and pneumatic splitter instead.

We got her a vacuum cleaner for last year and she was cross. She said "if you ever, ever get a present like that again!....", so that's why we thought of an iron.

Being serious, all she wants is breakfast in bed... not much to ask for eh? So we might have to lavish a little gift on her too.

I hear that fattmaxx recently came across a luggage pod full of gift ideas ?

I bought my husband an iron once! He irons, I don't, so I thought at least he'd have something good to use!

I'm the odd one out, I love kitchen (note, kitchen, not laundry) appliances and gadgets and would be rapt to get stuff like that!

Unfortunately the cats tend not to have much pocket money left by the time Mother's Day rolls around so I usually get chocolates, a CD or a book!

Sounds like a plan.

I especially like the part where you will let her choose which day she does the housework on.

What could possibly go wrong?

Lemme know how that turns out for you DaveBullet.

Heh heh, give her the usual 1/2 dozen ducks to pluck.

Mothers day, nine months after fathers day.
