Mothering Sunday

I forgot to add this earlier about Asda!
In the doorway were buckets and buckets of bouquets of flowers, helium balloons in huge bunches, teddy bears, fabric stuffed [??] flowers and 'Roger' the greeter was encouraging every single person through the doorway to make a purchase for 'Mothering Sunday'. What makes people dash out on the Saturday to pay as much as £19.99 for what I thought looked a very tatty bunch of flowers??
There were Dads in droves tagging along numerous kids and encouraging them to grab some flowers and a teddy or 'fabric stuffed flower' [which incidentally played a tune ... woohoooo] As I was waiting at the customer services [thats another tale altogether] I was amazed at the amount of flowers bought.
I'm a miserable old bugger as you know and I hate the commercialism of it all! I bought the customary card for both Mums and as I always do I got my Mum daffodils and Mum in law some primula [not the cheese!!] for the garden :o)
We will wait and see what tomorrow brings for me..... I usually just get a card and I ask for no arguments during the day and I also mentioned today that tidy bedrooms without me nagging would be a lovely present lol
