Anyone else had bad experience with mothers day flowers delivered from an online website?

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

When they arrived the roses are half dead and hardly any flowers, mostly folage. ( not like in the picture at all) I also paid extra for it to be a luxury bouquet and it ended up just being the smaller size. I emailed complaining and took photos of the bouquet. Im hoping to get my money back

Not had that,but some didn’t arrive when I ordered them (didn’t come at all in fact),and when I tried to complain the attitude of the idiot who answered the phone was shocking.

Should you buy your ex spouse Birthday or Mothers Day presents for a child who is not old enough to?

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

My ex spouse and I have a three year old who is obviously not old enough to buy presents. Is it looked at as weird or a nice thing to do to buy gifts for your ex spouse on like there Birthday or Mothers Day or Christmas from your child?

I think it’s a nice thing to do on all occasions. When your little one is older they will really love you doing this for their mum.
Really sweet, hope she does the same for you.

What did your kids write in your mothers day card today?

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

My seven year old son wrote:

"My mum is very sweet,
she’s always caring and
on time so I don’t feel like a fool."

LOL - apparently, image is everything to a seven year old!

:)

Happy Mothers Day.

My 25yr son overseas send me a card saying ‘you’re my rock’ and my 20yr daughter at Uni sent me a beautiful moonpig poem and asked me to confirm once and for all if she was the favourite child!

How to make a mothers day card when all I have is basic things like paper and a pencil?

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Its Mothers Day tomorrow and I have been meaning to make my mum a really nice card but I don’t have any special card or anything. All I have is basic paper, pencils and coloured pencils.

I really want this card to be special. Its night so I can’t go to the shop now to get anything to help make it good..

Any suggestions to what I can do? Thanks. Im 13 by the way.

Write a note telling her how special she is and sign it "heart" your name, or if your mother uses a pet name for you, use that.

What can I bake with ready made meringue nest for mothers day?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I have about 6 large meringue nests and was hoping this could be some kind of last minute Mothers Day present
they were from a packet, not homemade -_-

Easy! Make a Pavlova! An Aussie invention, it’s a dessert: fill the nests with fresh fruit in season, and top with whipped cream (don’t use that junk out of a spray can!), and drizzle fresh passionfruit or raspberries or something over the top. YUM!

Hmm shame about the fussiness but what I would suggest is going to a shop that has nice decorative things and look for a pretty one. I can’t give suggestions as to what stores because unfortunately I don’t know, but maybe you’ll find a decorative but pretty item.
Good luck :)

is there a site out there that delivers flowers for mothers day?

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

I live across the country from my mom and need to have something sent to her for Mothers Day. I’m thinking some flowers should do the trick. Is there a website or something that does this type of thing or should I phonebook a local flower shop?

You can call a local flower shop and ask. They deliver flowers, but not sure about across the country. Definitely 1800flowers delivers and overstock.com
