I'd been planning to surprise my Mum for Mother's Day this year beings as I've not ventured home since the first week of January which is painfully long without all the home comforts. So I got up at the crack of dawn (6am which was technically 5 because the clocks went forward) when a few of my housemates were stumbling in after their school ball! 

With a bunch of flowers in tow and a bracelet charm as a prezzie I got two trains and two buses before finally arriving home at about half 11. Un-according to plan Mum had gone out so I let myself in (thankfully I found my keys before setting off), woke my lazy little brother up and put the flowers in water.

Mum got back not so long after this and was chuffed to see me (and vice versa!), we didn't do anything special, just went for a walk and chatted etc but it was ace to catch up and Mum took some outfit photos for my blog with her new posh camera (which neither of us know how to use so my photos are likely to look no different than usual!)

After being well-fed with a mandatory Sunday roast and well equipped with sandwiches and cake for the journey the next day I headed back to Manchester, went straight to a lecture and then back to work so I've only just really had chance to compose this post.

It was just a lovely end to the week and gave me a last little push for this week to get loads of work done before heading back for Easter this weekend. I was so glad I decided to go home even just for a day because I'd missed my fam and think Mum appreciated it and well who doesn't want to be with their Mum on Mother's Day?! Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are looking forward to the Easter break because I definitely am!
