I only have one aunt and uncle, who gave me two cousins. Both cousins are married. One with 2 very small children (3 & 9 months). The other, A, is married to S. We have always been fairly close. A and S lead busy lifestyles but don't have children (sadly not through lack of trying). Due to their busy lifestyles, they have "forgotten" to send Christmas & Birthday cards to myself, my mum and my brother for 3 or 4 years. We have always sent to them but never got a thank you. Shock horror. The postman today has brought me a christmas card from A&S! I open it. It's handmade so clearly they aren't as busy this year as normal. I start reading. WTF they have spelt my name wrong. Seriously? They have spelt it the boys way.

I'm fuming. I know this is such a minor issue but finally after 3 or 4 years I actually get a card, and they spell my name wrong. They know full well how it is spelt.

My nan sent one to me addressed to my brother and DD. Dbro and DS have a very similar name though!

Be happy you got a lovely card and get a grip!
