She might welcome something to help her to FORGET that you see her as cook, dinner lady and cleaner. Buy her something just for her, like handbag sized perfume. |

David - £75? Never happen. Never! Rudolph - I couldn't possibly choose by then anyway. |

You've heard of Time Share. You could try VINE SHARE. You can buy a row of 50 vines in France for a year. Costs from £75. Google WineShare. David |

Its hard to find things for parents. I find that mine appreciate (and I appreciate from my kids) something that comes from the heart - it doesn't have to be expensive. How about a poem thanking her for everything she does for you and has done from you, preferably composed by you, put in a nice picture frame with a family photo of the 2 of you having a great family moment. You could use it to say the things you would never say face to face in conversation. That's the kind of things that really make mums go weak at the knees - I know as its worked on mine and it works on me! Angela |

OK but before I go one final idea: Coping with teenagers by Sarah Lawson - ways to deal with truculent adolescents. Anna:-)) Ho-ho-ho! |

She's seen it all before anyway. And I fear the police and social services would arrive pretty quickly. |
