    From blooms to hampers: Celebrate Mum with Interflora

    I don't want, need or expect anything special for Mothers Day. It was my decision to become a mother and I did so willingly. I much prefer an unexpected call or visit at odd times through the year, not just when commercialisation, profiteering and the date on the calendar dictates it.
