Default Mother's Day in the UK
Just a quick reminder to those in NZ who may be slightly out of touch with what's going on in the UK. It's Mother's Day tomorrow (Sunday) and someone, somewhere might be looking forward to call from yooooohoooo.

I know what it's like living in a country with different dates for such events and trying to keep track. Not easy.

I just spoke to my mummy to wish her a Happy Mothers Day. She asked me if I was having a nice Mothers Day. I explained I have a few more months to wait before I get a day dedicated to celebrating my vair existence I told her that we will celebrate her vair existence on our NZ Mothers Day that way she gets 2

By the way, when is it Mothers Day in NZ?

In case ANYONE (in particular) is looking in on this thread it's on May 10th here which, oddly, is a Saturday. Never mind though, it's a public holiday (if the powers that be can make their minds up to grant it in time) so all is well.
