Mother’s Day rocks!
NS March 22nd, 2009
The Noble Husband gets five gold stars for the Mother’s Day treats he and the children bestowed upon me today. I got to sleep in until 8.30 (woot!) and was awoken with coffee in bed and three smiling faces bearing cards and fantastic gifts.
A messenger bag I’ve been coveting
Honey and lemon-scented L’Occitane bath gel
Percy Piglets (my current favourite sweet)
and the entire series of A Bit of Fry and Laurie on dvd
These are probably some of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten in one collection, he did really well! TNH has always been a wonderful, intuitive gift-giver, he knows just what to get me, and others. It’s something he really excels at. Oh, and he’s a fabulous cook as well. This morning he made me poached eggs on a bed of spinach with toast and bacon. Delicious!
And very importantly, a mimosa (champagne and orange juice for the uninitiated)
This, added to the fact that he did a ton of cleaning and DIY without being asked or reminded while I was out at lunch with a couple friends yesterday, and before he had to go to work, means that he has earned about a thousand Good Husband Points this weekend. Well done, TNH! I think I’ll keep him.

I am glad you had a good day. And yes, he is a keeper.
Sounds absolutely fantastic!! Look at that breakfast, makes my mouth water. You had a fabulous day!! Happy Mother’s Day!
Awwwww…good job TNH!!!!! Big Brownie points! Heck…big triple fudge brownie points!!!
Well done TNH!! I have a suspicion that only a True Geek™ would stop to photograph her Mother’s Day breakfast halfway through, but I could be mistaken? It does look gorgeous though so I can entirely understand why
looks like TNH did good! happy mother’s day!
Happy Mother’s Day! Unfortunately you seem to have gotten the bag that I’ve been looking for as a replacement to my weary backpack.
Well done you, the Noble Lady, for training him so well!! Love your blog, love your writing! Am a mum and used to be a journalist! but gave that up before the little one came along, so no excuses for me!! Have a great day! x
Wow! Well done, TNH.
Good job, TNH! And happy mother’s day!
Well done Paul
