I bought a mother's day card and flowers for my stepmum but because she lives in Essex and I live in Kent, I didn't order this time online, bought some locally. I originally told her I could come down to see her today but she is at work until 7:30pm and so I decided not to drive over to drop them off and lied that I was called into work because I didn't want to be waiting around in the evening to come home to give her the flowers as she runs around all over the place when she gets in.

I was suggested to maybe drop them round my Nan's and leave them with her until she sees my nan to pick them up but I refused worrying that nan might think they are her flowers and don't want to upset her.

I feel ridiculous and pathetic and a voice is telling me off for not taking charge and just doing it whether I want to or not.

Don't be so hard on yourself Chris. You work, you've got a decent roof over your head and I'm sure your nan wouldn't mind if you left the flowers with her.
