Mothers Day

I thought I'd do something different for my mum this year, on previous Mother's days, I've always opted for safe choice of plants for the garden or flowers, but this year I wanted to do something different.

My sister and I hatched up a plan; it wasn't a grand plan, but a plan none the less. I must admit we were both suffering from a lack of money, seeing as I was saving up for my holiday in the summer and my sister's horse had had to have the vet visit, which cost her a small fortune. So, we arranged to cook mum a slap up meal and treat her to a visit to the local spa.

The plan seemed to be going well, apart from mum saying she was on a diet, which meant all our hard work in the kitchen seemed a bit of a wasted effort, although dad apparently wasn't on a diet and managed to eat my mothers share also.

However, the visit to the spa she loved, she had an aromatherapy face, neck and shoulder massage. I probably should have warned her about the oil going on her hair, but neither my sister nor me dared tell her she had walked out with hair looking like a sloth, although, her skin looked wonderful.

Valentines Day

Chicago was fantastic, I didn't go to the place Chicago, I saw the musical, which was great, and I loved it so much. I think my boyfriend secretly enjoyed it, although he would have been much happier doing a bloke thing.

I was treated to a great night out, the food was a bit of a let down so I won't name names but I won't eat there again. But, I got a great big Valentines card, a box of milk chocolates and some gorgeous flowers, which can’t be bad, can it.

I bought my boyfriend a bottle of Champagne and a very cute card, I might have gone a bit too cute but the bottle of bubbly went down a treat.

Christmas Gift Vouchers

Well, I decided to go with the gift voucher idea for my parents, I was spending so much time thinking about what to get them, I was becoming obsessed, not a good thing.

I decided to treat them to a hotel voucher, that way they can choose to stay wherever they want and when they want, aren't I a good daughter. Actually, I'm probably not that good as although I've been obsessing about it, I've taken the easy way out but they should enjoy it, I'll let you know.

Managed to get the perfect dog bed, Tilly is going to be so excited, well I am even if she's not when she see's it's not a treat.
Oh and I've still got to check out the riding equipment for my sister, I'm running out of time really, she might end up with a bunch of Xmas flowers, if I don't get a move on.
