OK so its my birthday in a couple of weeks. Uusally because its so close to Christmas shopping time I dont get a lot of presents. No problem, I am a Mum and like to get Christmas all wrapped up instead so its not a last minute rush.
This year I have been very organised and Christmas shopping is all done [grins]
I have also recently had a payrise (couple of hundred quid extra per month not huge but makes things more comfortable). Since I have had this payrise, DP has began treating himself on a regular basis. Fancy haircuts, £100 quid jackets, new aftershave. No, he hasnt got a new woman he is just a poncy twat.
Not getting overly bothered by his extravagance, but he has not made efforts at work to progress and has not had a payrise for 4 years! Would be nice if he treated ME for a change.
Anyway, I have continued in my normal way, shopping at Primark or charity shops for bargains not out of necessity, but because I cannot justify the expense on stuff for myself at this time of year.
HOWEVER - this birthday I know we have the cash for a treat or two for me, and to be fair, DP has been making reference to some parcels delivered to his work (for my birthday). i am not getting overly excited because he is a notoriously crap present buyer. But I spotted a dress in a vintage shop yesterday which is only £20! I texted him about it and he said "you have had paint for your birthday" - as I am going to decorate our hall this weekend in time for Christmas. I am fuming to put it mildly. AIBU?
