It is dh's birthday today.
I have long ago given up on surprises, as he has with me. When I have bought things I thought he would like, or god forbid " fun things", he either hasn't used them or taken them back.We went shopping on Thursday, he had a large budget but couldn't see anything he wanted. No problem he said, I'll get something next week before my golf trip.
So I did say, well you won't have anything to open on your birthday.
That's fine.
Cue this morning.
I gave him his card and some Green and Blacks chocolate. In flavours he likes.
Dcs had clubbed together and bought him a golf top he wanted.
But now, he is muttering " well, not much of a birthday is it, no presents."
To be fair, it is dd's 16th today, so she had a few gifts to open.
We are popping out for something to eat tonight, and it's our anniversary tomorrow.
But he does this every year. I feel like doing a dh Birthday Bingo card....
"not much of a birthday"
"I probably won't make 60"
" any chance of a bj tonight"
