And also a wee time to reflect on Mums who sadly are no longer with us, but are none the less always thought of very fondly, more especially today.

So true striker42 ... but I'd still like to hope all Mums on here have had a good day.

Valentines Day didn't cost me , nor Mothers Day, but I guess the grandkids will expect en Easter egg or two... been an expensive few weeks for some

Perpetua ... did you have a line of 'very guilty' men coming in just before closing, asking 'where have all the flowers gone'

Thing is, and I'm not guilty, but mams forgive forgetfulness anyway. That's why they're so special   Unlike wives

Lol . . . I've actually not worked today, despite being offered the overtime Raffles - billy not silly me!

Friday and Saturday were absolutely chaotic though, a staggering number of ready bouquets were sold as well as the flower wrapping service we offer.

We even had a customer who requested we wrap her Lilies purchased at Tesco's for her.

I'm not often on the shop floor, usually just going through to the smoking/vaping area, but it was hilarious.

Men eyeing each other up, ready for a fight over the 'bunch', looking at the flowers, already with chocolates in the basket... and the 'card' aisle was stupid... why do they leave it to 'the day'

I've come to the conclusion that some folks just like to put themselves under extreme pressure on such occasions!
