It's the thought that counts

Vanessa began Mothers' Day 2011 with cards and a present from her offspring.

And then I took her for a special Mothers' Day lunch.  (Well, when I say "took," obviously, Vanessa had to drive us all).

And you didn't honestly expect me to pay for it, did you?   

Sadly, Wee John and I were forced to rush off to see Man City play Sunderland in 3D.

But she'd already had her fun.
