AIBU? It was my birthday yesterday, I got a dvd from my mum and nothing from my siblings. DH was a star but I am still annoyed, my mum always goes to town for my older bro's birthday in particular.

I have now wrapped 31 christmas presents (we live abroad so everyone very kindly sends presents from Amazon but I have to wrap them, which I normally don't mind but today, due, I think, to post birthday blues, I am fed up)...I have also wrapped 3 presents which people kindly sent for me, feels a bit odd writing Happy Christmas Tiggyhop love from x on something you have just wrapped....grrr

Just think of the money you'll save by not sending them birthday gifts! :)

I do feel a bit grinch like myself this year, i think part of my problem is that it has come around sooo quick and i am still paying for last christmas,
but on a better note happy birthday for yesterday, i no sometimes we are just not in the mood no matter what we do.
But i hope you have a good christmas and things start looking up :)

Thanks for posting, you have made me feel better! And love the notion Tori that I could get away with not sending anything for them! If only....

Silly question I am sure - but why must you send them something when they don't bother for you?
