NC because I know I'm being a twat .
It's our first wedding anniversary - we were both up at midnight so gave each other gifts then. I had made him a framed crafty thing. Took a very long time to make but I knew he'd like it. He does. All good. I partly decided to do that because we are skint and mutually agreed to spend very little - £10ish max.
He has written me a poem which is a nice thought and I would genuinely be suitably grateful even if it is absolutely dire, and something he's done before and wish he'd STOP except for two things:
- He has spent a huge amount of money that we don't have getting it printed in fancy curly letters onto a scroll. With wooden knobby bits and a presentation box and a red ribbon with a heart charm. It is beyond naff and doesn't do anything but sit in its box. Cluttering up the place. When he knows I've spent all year finally and gleefully letting go of useless tat.
- it hasn't actually arrived. He showed me on his phone, because despite paying an eye-watering amount for this thing on Wednesday plus more for next day delivery it hasn't arrived.
So - I know I sound like a brat, I really do. He put thought in and blah blah blah but it doesn't feel like it, because I feel like if he knew me at all he'd know I'd hate it. And I'd hate him throwing away money. I'd honestly rather he'd gone to Tesco and picked up a paperback he thought I'd enjoy.
Anyway, I convinced him I'm thrilled last night but now I'm lying here hoping I can keep it up today. The only silver lining I can think of is it might never arrive and he can get the money back.
Argh I'm such a bitch
