Its my birthday today and its been crap so far.Dh has just got in late from work (3am). He has an important meeting tmw so can't take anytime off. We've had a row, now he's sleeping on the coach. I have no childcare tmw & he says he has no money to buy me anything but can afford a cheap meal out. Everybody's away & it's raining. I want to do something self indulgent for my birthday but I can't. Feeling sorry for myself but hopefully I'll get over if by the morning.Sad

Also, if I was able to do anything for DP for his birthday last month I would have been over the moon. Even if it was a cheap meal out. As it is, we had to scrape together coppers for bread.

Just try and have a good day regardless of not being able to get much, it's not the stuff that counts :)

Happy Birthday!
Have some hot chocolate and toast with nutella, or a bowl of ice cream, for breakfast, any little treat to cheer you up!

Thanks

A very happy birthday to you.

Here's to hoping things start to look up and you have a good one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ((hugs)) for your special day. Do try to find some way to make the day special. Can you and dc make a cake together? or buy one and have a special treat for tea? What about a long bath with wine and candles after they are in bed?

Happy birthday Thanks I hope today improves

Littlemissexpecting · 22/08/2013 05:42

Happy Birthday Thanks
I was also going to suggest a nice bath, or how about a duvet day with the dc. Sit and watch DVDs etc, board games etc. how old are the dc, could you task them with putting on a 'show' for you later? That will keep them busy and you can chillax

It's my birthday today too. I'm 40. Shock

Happy birthday to notnagging and mumof2teenboys!

We're always skint in August too. Childcare bill at its most expensive with no hours free as not term time. Last year DH organised a geo-caching treasure hunt that culminated in a secret, hidden picnic. It was amazing, and cheap!

Could you go for a picnic, with Cake and Wine?

Many happy returns. I hope the day improves for you my love. Flowers
