I found a lemon bush at Woolies and have potted it up in a nice new pot [not one of the old ones sitting outside in my garden]. And then if she lookes after it well she can use the lemons in her G&T!

I'm giving my mum a voucher for an aromatherapy massage. I normally do the ol flowers'n'chocs thing but she's had a rough few months and I reckon she deserves a bit of pampering.

I am thinking of a bay tree for my mum, not sure yet about my mother in law as she probably would not use the bay leaves.

Bought my Mum a pink trug, pink leather gloves and secuteaurs.  Something a bit different, that will make her laugh (we're talking Barbie pink) but I know she will use athem and it'll all last a bit longer than flowers or chocs.
