..and send a pressie to your DD for Mothers Day, I have just ordered this to be despatched to mine

Had to pay the extra for next day delivery. Hope it's not naff. Should amuse her.

Oh Deedaa did you have to tell me that now? I've just paid £6.99 in Smiths angrygrin

Lona Sat 05-Mar-16 21:33:59

Bummer! I've paid £6.99 each for them at Water stones! shock

Deedaa Sat 05-Mar-16 21:32:02

Sainsbury's have been doing them for £3.49.

DD2 received hers today and sent me a message on facebook to say it's hilarious.

I'm glad because she needs cheering up. Operation for endometriosis looming. sad

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 05-Mar-16 20:02:58

Glad you got one Indi. smile

Had a text from DD to say hers had arrived and she and grandson had been having a good laugh.

Yes, we saw them in there as well, but went into Smiths first because I wanted to get an adult colouring book and some fibre pens as a birthday present for my DD from her little girl. What with Mother's Day tomorrow and her birthday on Tuesday - it's costing me a fortune! I love it grin.

They have them in Waterstones as well as Smiths.

Indinana Sat 05-Mar-16 18:04:53

It was twice the price of the Amazon one shock

Indinana Sat 05-Mar-16 18:03:37

I got one jings!! It is hilarious grin. Thanks for the heads up.

Indinana Sat 05-Mar-16 10:57:17

Yes I might have to pop into town, jings

Sorry Indi! I only saw the book on the Mumsnet site yesterday. You might be able to get one at Smiths or a local bookshop if you are shopping today.

I was in tears at Christmas reading the books that DD bought for her husband [he hadn't heard of them]. They're very much a case of 'why didn't I think of that'.

Indinana Sat 05-Mar-16 09:18:07

Oh I wish I'd seen this thread earlier! I might have to do an Amazon Prime trial to get this by tomorrow......

We've bought copies of that for our daughters, both of them are celebrating their first mother's day as new mums. I bought the Ladybird book of Sheds for himself on Valentine's Day. He had to laugh, though he tried hard not to. The new Ladybird books on Mindfulness and being a Hipster are also entertaining.

Deedaa Fri 04-Mar-16 22:24:47

DD and I bought the Dad book for each other. Then I bought The Wife and she bought The Mum. Several pages of The Mum summed up her life so brilliantly - I love them.

Katek Fri 04-Mar-16 20:19:23

I bought dsil The Hangover one for Xmas.......everybody else thought it was funny!!

mumofmadboys Fri 04-Mar-16 19:54:27

I saw this in WHSmiths today if anyone else wants one

merlotgran Fri 04-Mar-16 18:02:57

Changed my mind and have sent one to DD2. I've already bought DD1 a bottle of Prosecco wink

morethan2 Fri 04-Mar-16 17:58:57

Thanks for the tip, I need a laugh so does my DiL

(the Other Place is Mumsnet, for any newer posters/readers)

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 04-Mar-16 17:28:40

Yes. I wish I'd seen it sooner metlot. I found it when I was having a quick visit to the Other Place. They've got a list of 'Books to buy Mum'. They seem to be making more of Mothers Day over there.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 04-Mar-16 17:26:25

Ooh, there are going to be some pleased daughters. smile

baubles Fri 04-Mar-16 17:25:09

Thanks jings I've just ordered one to be delivered to DD. Hope she likes it. smile

merlotgran Fri 04-Mar-16 17:24:33

In fact the Mindfulness one looks right up her street. grin

merlotgran Fri 04-Mar-16 17:19:57

Too late for Mother's Day unfortunately but a great idea for DD's birthday in May as I usually try to find something funny to go alongside a 'real' pressie.
