Mothers Day Under Social Distancing

Today was probably one of the weirdest Mothers Days I have experienced as the Covid-19 takes a grip on everyone's lifestyles and people are strongly advised to stay at home and adhere to social distancing procedures. Me and the kiddies did have a really nice day planned out where we were going to Mercedes World in Kent and then for dinner at Fire Jacks afterwards. All of this was cancelled and we had a day at home under a self imposed lock down.

Instead of Fire Jacks we let Tina pick a home delivery take away and settled for Fish'n'Chips. Great service from our local shops, dinner ordered for 5:30pm and arrived at 5:29!!!! So we have tried to make the day nice for Tina and she did have some lovely presents, but really it has been a day of just chilling around the house.

I have to say I ordered the Mothers Day cards from the three kids some time ago and think I absolutely nailed it this year. From Holly "Mum, thanks for teaching me how to cook cremate everything!", then from Brandon "Mum, thanks for listening to the 1848 stories about Fortnite", and  finally from Josh, "Mum, the bestest friend, the greatest listener, the one that leaves items on the stairs in hope that I take them up!".

Holly giving Tina a glass of wine with dinner in her new flamingo glass.

Tina looks happy with the wine, Holly not so keen on the smell!

It's not quite Fire Jacks as planned, but a nice Fish'n'Chips with the family.

I think I absolutely nailed it with the Mothers Day cards from the kids this year.

Tina did well for presents with a Pandora charm, a sequin photo cushion, a personalised leg gift, wine, flowers and chocolates.

Holly got Tina this rather novel personalised Lego set.
