She does the work of twenty-five people for free and all you have to do is call her, sometimes.

We love our mums, and with lockdown laws likely to keep cafes closed, and kill the annual Mother’s Day brunch, what better way show her why you’re the favourite child than by spending quality time together.

Slippers? Warm. Tea? Hot. Mum’s favourite flicks? On.

Mermaids (1990)

A glamorous, carefree and unconventional single mother relocates her two daughters to a small town in Massachusetts in 1963, where their relationships are tested.

Cher dazzles alongside Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci in this fabulous film about family bonds.

Mamma Mia (2008)

This fun, upbeat and enjoyable film goes perfectly with a glass of pinot gris and a girls night in.
