Mother’s Day all over the world!

I knew that Mother’s Day fell on different days of the year depending where you lived. I am surprised though on how many different days it is actually celebrated.  For example today it is celebrated in Bolivia and in Poland!

True Shopaholics!

Sometimes I think that I am not a shopaholic at all. I love shopping and I do buy a whole bunch of stuff including unnecessary items. But I seriously think that this takes the biscuit and perhaps the coffee, dinner and a few books too!!

Someone thought that it was a great idea to buy this mega Nintendo console.

Happy Mother’s Day

Various countries celebrate Mother’s Day today including the US and Malta. So to all mothers out there…. Happy Mother’s Day.

I hope you were bought lots of goodies… and if not use it as an excuse to head to the shops!

Mother’s Day

Remember Mother’s Day next Sunday. Although Mother’s day in the UK is celebrated in March, several other countries celebrate it in May. Anyway, this is a reminder for anyone who celebrates Mother’s Day in May to hit the shops and buy their mum something special!
