It is my birthday on Saturday and I have tried to arrange a curry night for my friends and I and one by on ethey are dropping out. I am particularly upset with one friend who promised that she would go to a spa day with me but now she has her period and can't (fair enough) but now she can't come out for the meal either as she is staying at her abusive on-off boyfriend's house. Some friends havn't even got back to me.

Looks like I don't have any friends then. Sad

Lesley33 I most certainly will, but not a unicorn GOAT, which is a silly idea, I am quite happy to make you a unicorn COAT...far more sensible :)

lesley33 · 29/03/2012 08:56

Maybe we should set up a birthday club for anyone feeling neglected or let down by their friends? They could post here and tell everyone to come to x place on a particular date? Could even have a glamorous back storey e.g. friends I made when I was working as an extra in the latest blockbuster, although unfortunately my scene was cut Grin.

lesley33 · 29/03/2012 08:56

A unicorn coat? Am intrigued.

NorksAreMessy · 29/03/2012 08:57

ipswichwitch what flavour wool would you like?

NorksAreMessy · 29/03/2012 08:58

You have to leave a hole in the hood, so the horn doesn't get trapped.

lesley33 · 29/03/2012 08:59

But I haven't got a horn Hmm

lesley33 · 29/03/2012 09:00

Posts like these are why I will never let my DP look at my posts Grin

impossiblesitu · 29/03/2012 09:01

OP it was my birthday last night. So many friends dropped out and 'd'p was beyond nasty and actually took back my birthday present in public (necklace) because I had the audacity to speak to a man I work with on the phone.

You're not unreasonable, I hope you have a good birthday x

lesley33 · 29/03/2012 09:06

Sorry to hear that impossible Sad.
Happy belated birthday. Thanks

YonWhaleFish · 29/03/2012 09:07

imp Happy Birthday! And you need to wash that DP right out of your hair by the sounds of it!

ipswichwitch · 29/03/2012 09:09

strawberry please norks :)
intrigued by unicorn GOAT................

impossiblesitu · 29/03/2012 09:15

Yes, I have rid my life of him this morning and intend to return his possessions while he is at work so I never have to see the twunt again.

ifeelloved · 29/03/2012 09:21

Whilst I'm lucky with my friends, I know they'll make a big fuss etc I do get a bit exasperated with dh. I know he cares but for once I would like a surmise or two. It's a bit difficult this year as I'm getting an iPad through a deal at work, but usually I know what I'm getting and even buy it for myself. Oh well, should just be grateful for what I get!

Happy birthday to is all Grin

CelticPromise · 29/03/2012 09:22

Hello fellow Arieses, load of bollocks that it all is.

It was my birthday yesterday, think I must have low expectations because I enjoyed takeaway, wine and DH doing DS's bedtime. These mid 30s birthdays are a bit of a non event.

However I'm already planning for DH's 40th, I will show him how it's done so he's got five years to plan mine. Grin

Haziedoll · 29/03/2012 09:31

Perhaps they can't afford it but didn't want to say.

Money is tight these days. A spa day and a meal in the evening is ott for most people.

DangerousDorothy · 29/03/2012 13:47

Happy Birthday for saturday toptramp.
It's my birthday tomorrow so another aries here. Hope you have a lovely day regardless.

@Smile@

Aries emoticon for all the March/April MNers who don't believe in that type of shitey-woo but nevertheless know what star sign they are and whether their cusp is ascending or if their moon is in Uranus and nod knowingly whilst reading Madam Mystique's horoscope in the local rag that was actually written by the cleaner during her fag break because OMG they could be talking about me I had that ten pound lottery win last week just like they said and I would be going on a long journey if the Fiat Panda wasn't back in the garage again and that nice Mrs Gosling down at the post office well she's a libra and there's nothing remotely balanced about her but Russell Grant said in the Express & Star that she had a big surprise coming and then she found her husband was having it off with that Rene from Debenhams bedding department you know the one with the funny earlobes well I've heard that she caught them together in the El Morocco Tea Rooms in Corsica Street and he's a gemini so it's hardly surprising is it well I can't stand here gossipping all day I've got to feed next door's cat while they're in Tossa De Mar and haven't seen hide nor hair of it since Tuesday it doesn't like that Lidl economy cat food one bit so I've been taking it round some of those boiled chitterlings well it hasn't agreed with the cat's insides it's had the runs something chronic they'll have a fair bit of cleaning up to do when they get back next Monday have you seen that The Voice don't you just love that Tom Jones well if I was twenty years younger...

Happy Birthday to all Thanks

@Grin@

Love it. And I love how we are all so quick to denounce woo. Must be a trait.

wannabestressfree · 29/03/2012 15:54

Aries here too birthday tomorrow.........
I wanted an Ipad for my birthday and knew the old man wouldn't get one so went myself and got one ......... am fed up with being disappointed with quite frankly shit [and yes I know I sound mean]
I also sent him a text from my mums phone saying her beloved daughter would like flowers [ hangs head in shame]..........
I am fed up with busting a gut for everyone else and would like a lovely day....

ViviPru · 29/03/2012 16:01

I also sent him a text from my mums phone saying her beloved daughter would like flowers

Haha that sounds like my kind of trick. At christmas I told my sister to tell him about a purse I'd mentioned to her that I really liked. Let him think I think it was his idea. Works every time ;)

Sootie · 29/03/2012 16:04

@Grin@ < Love it!

wannabe - I did the exact same thing. I went and got myself a much needed new smartphone the day after my birthday Grin. Nothing wrong with treating yourself!

Avenged · 29/03/2012 16:35

Happy Birthday TT.

wannabestressfree · 30/03/2012 11:51

He told me last night about the text and mooched about saying he hadn't had time to do anything..............

I would like to stove his head in...............

I may buy something expensive and sparkly later :}

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 30/03/2012 12:16

Wannabe, he has had 364 days to think about and arrange something nice for you. Stove his head in and we will be character witnesses "she was provoked mightily m'lord"

wannabestressfree · 30/03/2012 13:01

:} Yay I may well do that..........
We actually had a discussion about it the other night. His general crapness and my annoyance by it.
I also hate the ' what do you want'?, I spend most my time with him, he knows what I like, what I watch etc. HOW HARD CAN IT BE................ I manage to do it, bring up the children, work full time etc....... grump grump
