I bought it with some of my Xmas money(of which I don't spend a lot on me).It was a gorgeous Emma Ball seaside one.Very expensive and lovely paper.

Was looking forward to getting organised tonight and writing up all the bdays,school dates etc.Now my whole system is ruined.

He hasn't even apologised.

It had seagulls on and everything.I now have to live with his scrawl on my calendar all January.Angry

Truth Mares but January was the best pages.It had seagulls standing in water( tasteful).In fact January was the whole reason I bought it in the first place.

My whole evening is ruined. How do I work with my system now?Do I carry on past the first week as I do it or put a great big posit note over the first week?It's making me feel all at sea just thinking about it.

Jan 1st is always my yearly organisation night.

Guess I could just finish off the Baileys instead.Sad

My calendar is a beautiful almost virginal white this January,in contrast to the manic black spidery scribbles of December spilling out over every margin.

For once I feel fortunate that DH would never think to even consult the calendar as to term dates,let alone write them in.....

I know it's not what you want to hear, but have you thought of a salvage operation with ... [gasp] Tippex?

[ducks]

MrsHeffley · 01/01/2012 18:01

bigTilly the calendar is just too lovely for Tipex.My old calendar was Tipex worthy but not this one.

Go and finish the Baileys (sod it).Or Babycham is on offer at Sainsbury's (on third bottle of the sweet nectar)

Have some "me" time to plot what new treasure of his you can bugger up.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

timetomoveon · 01/01/2012 18:17

YADNBU I would be most upset if DH put his spider writing all over my lovely calendar.

Cybbo · 01/01/2012 18:21

I have banned ALL family members from writing on my new calendar

ANd the book by the PC where i write all my paswords etc

FairToMiddlin · 01/01/2012 18:22

January is clearly ruined. Your family will just have to skip straight to February.

If any of them have a birthday in January - it will be missed and it will all be your DPs fault.

I hope he is happy now.

Lueji · 01/01/2012 18:23

Seriously?

countessbabycham · 01/01/2012 18:28

I know! I know!

Write TOSSER across every page in February in his works diary.

FINISH the BAILEYS and if you have Brandy or Tia Maria add to it, you will soon start to feel all fluffy less huffy about the calender.

MrsHeffley · 01/01/2012 18:37

Humpf apparently he uses Outlook and it has a password-he says(in a very self satisfied smirky way) I'm welcome to try getting into Feb.

Which beggars the question why he felt the need to tarnish my beautiful calendar in the first place.

YANBU. Feel for you.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 01/01/2012 18:56

I empathise, OP. I got a bit stabby when dh wrote on the calendar that I gave him for christmas. Blush

If it is this calendar - you could replace it for under £13 on ebay, and the price might drop if you wait a bit.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 01/01/2012 18:58

Oooh - and it is only £6 here (not sure how much the postage is, though).

Pandemoniaa · 01/01/2012 19:00

This is, I realise, almost certainly a ridiculous question to ask the anally protective users of beautiful new calendars, but isn't including every one else's activities/appointments the whole point of having one?

Only I could easily knock up a work of calendrical art here but if it only contained my stuff, it'd be no fucking use at all. I know what I'm doing. But if I don't know what dp is committed to do as well it is all rather meaningless.

nothruroad · 01/01/2012 19:04

MrsHeffley - don't know if this wil.l make you feel better or worse but I liked the sound of your sadly defiled calendar and have now ordeed one for myself. Thanks!
