To be hacked off that dp has written on my new 2012 calendar????

[MrsHeffley]

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.

Ok.Is the drawer done? Any other jobs lurking around to do?Perhaps he can make amends doing some more constructive jobs. Make him feel like he has earned your forgiveness.

Then sneak some slugs into his pants drawer.

He's shown no remorse and deserves all he gets.

I am slightly worried that I have spent 5 minutes reading about a complete stranger's calendar but I do feel your pain OP.

This comment on the website made me laugh though...

We do need to apologise for the fact that our printer put this years calendar together incorrectly, the months didn?t follow on making it less user friendly. We can guarantee that this years calendar is not only fantastic but back to the previous layout which is much better.

Back to the 'previous layout' . You mean the traditional layout where January is followed by February etc?

DD 'wrote' on my calendar last year, I was pissed off about it for a whole month. Worse than that I was more pissed off that I was pissed off about a calendar.

I'd feed DH beans on toast for next week and spend his food money on a brand new one. That would teach him.

Gosh, a calendar. How retro

I have Outlook and iPhone calendar.

My Outlook talks to DH's Outlook more than I talk to him.

I would love dp to write on the calendar, unless it was the years football fixtures though

i am looking for the ballroom bunnies calendar if anyone has seen a cheap one

Can you not give him the calendar and demand he buys you a new one?
It would be cheaper than a divorce.

Do you do your best writing on it OP? YANBU if he has spoiled the appearance with his scrawl.

I might have rewritten a shopping list because it didn't look nice enough

I'd kill him. But he knows better. I have 2 calendars, "mine" and the household one. Mine is in one of those nice wooden frames that many think are horrid.
He should replace it.

Also re-writes shopping lists

More pain: I won a Burns prize at school. My dad was proud (nice) and decided to put it in a frame, but he had to trim it to size and left it all squinty.

DP was also proud (again nice) of my degree certificate. HE BLU-TACKED IT TO THE WALL. To this day it has a greasy circle on it

Because they were being sweet though I had to choke down my rage resentment.

They are oyster catchers and not worth getting upset about.

However, if he messes up the puffin page, then you can kill him.

Calendar in a wooden frame you say iscream?

Yes PeelThem, similar to the third wooden one down. Bought at a craft show, hand made and not one of the cheap flimsy ones of fake wood.

Although I like the wrought iron ones in that link, I have not seen those ones before. Hmmmm.

DISCLAIMER! My frame has no "quotes" on it!

southeastastra Ballroom Bunnies £7.49

Ah, looked now! Surely those are calendar ENHANCERS not just frames?

*They are oyster catchers and not worth getting upset about.

Yet I think sturdy little puffins can take care of themselves. Oyster catchers on the other hand have spindly legs and can't defend themselves against OP's DH's vandalism ill-advised use of the page.

I have little stickers for the family calendar. They come with the free calendars dh gets from the wine art shop. They have things like Birthday, Anniversary, Doctor, Dentist, Auto Service, No School, School Back, Babysitter, Baby Shower, Wedding, Pet Care, Flowers. Prescription, Physiotherapist, Eye Care, Special Event, Hair/Nails, Family Photo, Oil Change, Cleaning, and a whole lotta other things.
I am the only one who uses them though. Heathens

Iscream - I seriously considered buying one of the Organised Mum diaries for this year, just for the stickers. I yearn for stickers like those. [needs a life in the worst possible way]

If its the calendar that someone on the other page put a link for (sorry forgot to look at the name) well its shit! I would struggle to pay a quid for it tbh. I bought mil a calendar for christmas, lovely it was. Had the white board bit at the top and then lovely cup cakes on it. Only cost £1.49, bargain!

However YANBU, I hate it if dp ruins something by scrawling all over it in his messy handwriting.

OP I feel your pain.

I get one of those organised mum family calendars, and DH had to learn the hard way not to write in MY column. I took my revenge by tippexing out all his football fixtures! Once he'd missed a game, he LEARNT!

This week he sat down with a fountain pen and wrote them all in in small print in his best handwriting. I may give him a gold star.

Make him buy you the complete Emma Ball stationery range from Redwings to compensate. He can wrap it all up in Emma Ball gift-wrap too.
