Now that mum's in a wheelchair with dad as her primary carer, I’ve been searching out things for them to do. The other day my mother came up from London and we went to see Priscilla. Mum, who was little bit bemused by it all, described it as "very colourful, very gay". While it was fun for her to enjoy a bit of our generation's raucousness, I think that she might enjoy a push around Oxford’s botanical gardens, an Eau de Vie flotation, some of Daisies’ lilies and a trip to the ballet a little more next time.

Sadly my mum has severe dementia and is unable to walk or talk and is bedbound. If I could share another 'normal' Mothers day with her I would buy her a quarter of buttered brazils. I would make her favourite dinner while she sat talking to me, advising and reassuring me about raising my own children. I would play her favourite country and western music in the background. After dinner we would go for a little walk around the parks in Headington with my own children before coming back home so my mum could settle in front of a John Wayne film for a snooze. In reality I will probably spend the day playing boardgames with my own 4 beautiful daughters who are my pride and joy.

I am (for the first time since leaving home) going to surprise my mum by visiting her in Worthing. Unbeknownst to her, my brother will also be arriving a few hours after me, so it will be a double surprise for her.

We've fallen out over the past year, over a family crisis, so this is my way of showing with actions, as well as words already spoken, that everything is OK again between us.

This year I am travelling to Yorkshire to suprise my mum, who is ill and house-bound at present. I plan to arrive on Saturday and make an early start on the celebrations by cooking her favouirte foods for dinner. I have oragnised a mobile hair dresser to come over and do her hair as she has been unable to get to the hairdressers.

On Mother's Day itself I will make breakfast and if mum is up to it go out for a short drive before returning for lunch.

I hope I can make this Mother's Day extra special as mum is so unwell, it will be nice to see her happy and enjoy her company for a few days.

I'd take my mother to Christ Church Meadows and make her brunch from Abel and Cole!

I haven't made exact plans as yet, but will be spending my day with my children and my mother, so we can have a double Mother's Day. Sadly, my husband wont be able to share this Mothering Sunday with me and our children, as he works as a carer which means he misses a lot as he works 12 hour shifts.

We are hoping for a sunny day; shared with my children and their Nanny and Grandad. I think our day will involve spoiling my Mum with a cream tea and a perhaps a sightseeing tour of Oxford, which pleases the children as their best day is a trip on a bus!

Whatever we do, the day is about spending time with family, being all together, and making happy memories for the future.

I'm going to do whatever my mum wants to do, because she would do the same for me.

This Mother's Day I shall be celebrating my birthday the same day as Mother's Day! Unfortunately my mum will be working delivering flowers for all the other mums out there and I will be in London getting spoiled for my birthday so Mother's Day will be celebrated the week after for us this year. Happy Mother's Day everyone!

What I‘d do on Mother‘s Day? I would say that I'd go up to Wigan (my home town) to visit, but it's grey and in the North. So instead, I'd get my mum down to Oxford (much lovelier!) and then hope it was sunny enough to go to Blenheim Palace, which she loves. I'd also make sure to go to Church with her, and as a gift she would receive handmade jewellery!

I would start the day by waking up early and making my mum a full English breakfast, which is her favourite, and surprising her with breakfast in bed. I would arrange a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the table to surprise her with. We would spend the day together with my brother and dad, visiting the Ashmoleon Museum, including the Antique China display as my mum loves collecting vintage china.

The highlight of the day would be a special surprise lunch at The Ashmoleon Dining room where we would all relax and enjoy the food and each other‘s company. My parents have both recently been quite ill yet both always manage to remain positive and always put others first. This would be a lovely treat for them both and a small way to say thank you for everything they do and for being such a great mum and dad. Afterwards we would watch a film of mum‘s choice and eat some of the cake which I am planning to make for her as an extra treat.

On my Mother's Day I'm going wake my mum up to fresh tea, toast and flowers and then my sister and I are going to take my mum and nan for afternoon tea together. Then I'm going to take them for a pedicure so they can both relax. My mum works hard and never relaxes so I want her to really relax and do nothing all day. In the afternoon we are all going to have a roast dinner together and cake after. For the evening I have a film for us to all watch together. The main aim for the entire day is that we are all together and spending time with one another.

I would take my mum to a quiet little tea shop so we can properly catch up, we don't see that much of each other as she works longs hours in hope for a comfortable life when she retires. My mum has 5 children and 5 grandchildren and wants to provide the best for us all but it comes at a time price which can't be compared to money. It would be nice for her to relax with a cuppa and cake with me and the opportunity to people watch...

For us to smile, laugh and relish each other's company and that doesn't have to include spending lots of money, just a little time. I miss my mum and love her dearly, I miss your time and cherish our friendship.

12 years plus we miss her so,

My mum, a nanny is so so missed,

Her grand-daughters are now full grown and they miss her so,

She was taken so young and in such a hurry, we never said goodbye,

We're all still so very sad, we miss her so,

I try to do what you would want, my gran, your mum, at 94 is still doing so well,

So with this prize I would treat your mum, my gran, to a special day just so,

But just so you know we will never forget her, as she was so so special.

What I'd do on Mother's Day...

I'd make sure my family of 5 are together, smiling and happy and put a nice cooked breakfast on the table for mum, with a cup of coffee just the way she likes it. I'd also make sure we had a nice tidy house, which gives her a break!

We'd give her plenty of hugs and kisses and remind her we love her and what a great mum she is! I try my hardest everyday to make sure my mum knows she is loved, well cared for and reminded of just what an amazing mum she is. Every mum deserves this because a mother's role is irreplacable, it's one of the strongest bonds with a child and each and every mum deserves the world.

I'd love to be able to give my mum something special, as well as a heart full of words beacause she truly deserves everything, she's amazing.

It's the first time my mom will be alone on Mother's Day, with my dad and brother out of the country, my grandparents on holiday, and me away from home.

So I am planning to surprise her with a visit, and can't wait! Would be great if I could show up with flowers as well though!

I would build a weather machine and change it to glorious sunshine, then a day of Pimms and punting down the river, lunch at a riverside pub then back to town for a show at the Playhouse followed by cocktails in Jericho.

My mum has wished to see Neil Young for over 40 years. He will be in the UK this year, and it will be his first visit this century.

I would buy her a ticket to see him live.

Seeing Neil Young live is number one on her bucketlist!

For Mother's Day I would continue to do the usual for my mother as she has health issues, which is why last year we invited her to live with our family. I plan on cooking a lovely meal for the 7 of us and purchasing a big bouquet of flowers from me, my husband and my brother who also lives with me. Then I will buy some lovely chocolates from my 3 children to their nan. Other than that it will be another normal busy day loving my mum and my family.

My mum can't do much now, as she has rheumatoid arthritis in her arms and hands. She is always in pain and sad. I would love to take my mum out, as she doesn't go out much due to the pain. Before she fell ill, she was a very sporty person and enjoyed doing many things. Rheumatoid arthritis puts a lot of stress on her daily actives, as she is unable to do most of the things which she previously enjoyed.

I would take my mum to meet Alan Ticthmarsh as she always goes on about him plus has bought all his gardening books. Then I would take her to see Take That and have a stay over in a spa hotel so she could relax for once!

My mum always takes care of others and rarely thinks of herself, or treats herself in any way. So for her, I would create a day where she didn't have to do anything for anyone; it would all be about her. First would be breakfast in bed, followed by gifts, flowers and cards. Then I would take her out for the day; maybe to walk around the grounds of Blenheim Palace, one of her favourite places to visit. Her day would end with a meal at a restaurant of her choosing followed by a trip to the theatre or cinema; her choice.

Hopefully this would show her how much we appreciate what she does for us, and how much we love her.

I would tell my mum that although I was a bit of a pain as a teenager, and often a temperamental/critical one, I really appreciate everything she and my dad have done for me through the years - they have really helped shape the person I am now.

My poor mum is working on Mother's Day at the Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue control centre. So I'm going to make sure all of her chores are done at home, from tidying, hoovering, washing up...everything (she appreciates my OCD levels and since moving out, she's been missing them). I will also be cooking her favourite meal for her. Every mum deserves to be spoilt, and seeing as I can't spoil my mum during the day, I will make sure her love and support is always appreciated!

We would spoil our mum for the day by treating her like a princess. We would get her pampered then take her out for dinner and then take her to the movies to see a grown up film as she always takes us to see what we want! Mummy works very hard every day and she always does everything for us all. I probably would tidy my room for her too!! And tell her we love her.

If my mum didn't live so far away, I'd invite her to the Cafe Loco on St Aldates for one of my very own Mad Hatter tea parties, of course!

I would be extra kind to all mothers I know since mine isn't present.

My mother-in-law is always working & attending church services. She eats reduced food everyday and I rarely see her buy new things for herself. I think that she really needs a treat for herself. It'd be just nice for her to sit back & enjoy a musical show to cheer her up.

As I still live with my mum, I'd wake her up extra early, tell her how much I love her and what a wonderful mum she's been. Then I'd make her some breakfast in bed... I'm not very good at cooking, but she can have anything she wants, purely because it's her day!

Then I'll give her the card I got her and watch her smile when she opens it. I'll take her out to all her favourite places, and then take her to a restaurant and let her order anything she wants. I'll then take her ice skating, because she loves that! We'll then both go home and watch some cute films and eat all the chocolate in the house. I love my mum; she's amazing xxx

My mother is 94 and quite remarkable.

I will take her to Batsford Arboretum near Moreton in Marsh, take her round the beautiful grounds, have a cup of tea and some delicious cake in the cafe and then a drive around that part of the Cotswolds.

I will treat my mum to climbing most of the towers in Oxford, she'll love to have a great view of the wonderful city of Oxford as it is. Then we will have tea with scones, on a punting trip which we've never been able to do. Then I will go home, cook dinner and invite a couple of her best friends which I know she will love to spend time with. And I promise I'll be the waiter and cleaner. Look forward to a busy day. Love you, mum.

On Mother's Day I would first fly my mother over to England (as she lives in Germany and has been on her own for 4 months as my farther is in Afghanistan).
I would take her around Oxford for a mini shopping spree and a tour, and then treat her to a day of pampering as she deserves a break from all the stress she is under. I love my mum dearly, and tell her everyday.

What I’d do on Mother’s Day: I would order flowers from Daisies Flower Shop, 106 Walton St, and book her an appointment at Eau De Vie, 34 Cowley Road!

What I'd do on Mother's Day is take my mum for a delicious cream tea, followed by a lovely walk around Blenheim Palace - which is one of her favourite places.

First, I would take my mum to Cannelle Beauty Spa in Oxford for a full Mother‘s Day treat. She works very hard as a full time nurse and has her own business to keep our family afloat, so she really needs some time to relax.

I would also take her to Oxford Playhouse to see a comedy so she can have a laugh too, then we would go out for a meal at ASK.

When we get home there would be lots of presents waiting: flowers, chocolate, cake, etc.

It would be an all round, nice special day. 

My mum lives in South Africa but I am surprising her by flying home and sharing Mother's Day with her as well as her birthday which will be the following week. She will have flowers delivered from the florist and a little treasure hunt to find me.

It's really difficult spending so much time apart as we are extremely close with me being an only child.

If I do win, she will be coming over to see me in Oxford so will be able to enjoy her gift then!

What I'd do on Mother's Day is get all the family together and go on a family walk through the muddy fields, and then come home for a beautiful roast and champagne!
