I was thinking that too. Maybe off doing things for Mother's day or even having breakfast in bed (I personally need to be up and dressed when I'm awake).
Same here - up early and dressed, ready for action.
Good-oh! If you're heading to a preview, Andrews, I hope the participating cinemas are ready for us and all the other hopefuls!

Looks sunny in Manchester at the moment, though who knows how long it will last, just going to put out my washing so expecting it to change.

Well, I was up a 7am yesterday, no lie in for me! And no time to spend on my computer! Got myself ready, made pack lunch, then off to mum's, get her up, washed, changed and breakfast, and then to the first screening of the day, and still arrived 10 minutes too early, and the Gate at Notting Hill did not let us in until 10.45, so a lot of hanging around for me (25 minutes!).

I am not really into Mother's Day, why only show it in one day, too commercialised! My son suggested to take me to lunch, but I said I already had plans to go to the premiere! ;)

Though, for my mum now, it is Mother's Day every day, but as I was going to two screenings yesterday, took mum to lunch on Saturday, but she had Mother's Day with her son and grandchildren, after I asked my sister-in-law, so I could go to the Divergent premiere! :P

Hope you all had a good day yesterday whatever you did! o/

Has anyone been to watch Trooping the Colour? I know I'm way too late to apply for grandstand seats but can you see much from The Mall? I'm in London for the day so would be a perfect opportunity to experience this so just really asking what time I need to get there and is it worth watching? Thanks so much o/

Sadly, my mum passed away this morning.

As it is the Easter break, we cannot do anything until Tuesday.

When I left mum last night, she was fine, clean, comfortable and happy. We spent some quality time together. It is a shock as she was in good health, except her dementia. The post-mortem will be done on Tuesday.

Just spent all morning waiting for the undertakers to take mum to the mortuary, not sure why they took so long, unless it is a bank holiday.
