A Present from my Mother In Law

[mrs_overall]

For a birthday present, my MIL has given me a half dead plant. It was originally a healthy plant.... when I gave it to her for Mothers Day. Grrrr

[TheNovice]

It's the thought that counts.......

[tonyav]

LOL, she's a real gem mrs o.

[mrs_overall]

How can no thought whatsoever count???? lol

[TheNovice]

[DTCwordfan]

look at it optimistically, it is half alive.

Happy Birthday, mrs o - missed that I think.

[mrs_overall]

Thanks DT. You are not alone - one child thought it was yesterday (a day early) and one child has not yet been in touch

[tonyav]

Happy Birthday mrs o.

Happy Birthday mrs o, couldn't you properly kill the plant, save it il Christmas, then send her the plant with a big red bow tied through the stalk ;-))

It's still the thought that counts......;-)

[mrs_overall]

Thanks folks xx

[DTCwordfan]

It could become your "Tolstoy" Plant, switching back and forth between you, "The War and Peace" plant......

My heavily Catholic mother once booked my (Jewish) wife in with a Christian course as a 'Christmas' present. I thought she'd taken it quite well, however when it was her birthday my wife gave her a funeral plan.

If I had forgotten my late mother's birthday she wouldn't have said anything to me.

She would never have spoken to me ever again. Not that she held a grudge!

I'd offer cake Boo but you'd only scoff the lot lol

[baza]

i gave my father in law a bottle of scotch for christmas, the following year he gave it back, so just for spite i drank it. its the thought that counts.lol

Happy Birthday Mrs O. I was lucky this weekend, I got birthday vouchers from my Mother in Law, even better they were usable vouchers.

[DTCwordfan]

baza - who wants to eat a half-dead plant though - unless that American, jimmy trailer=house, needs it?

[mrs_overall]

belated happy returns eccles.
Lucky you! If my MIL gave me vouchers they'd probably be out of date or for some grim experience

[EcclesCake]

I must be in favour at the moment. I once got a biro....it was a new unused one.....

Happy Birthday to you too Mrs O, I hope the rest of your family make it a splendiferous experience!
