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

Happy Birthday to you!

I hope you manage to enjoy your day after its shitty start.

Get out and do something nice....picnic in the park for lunch with the kids?

Happy birthday!

HorseyGirl1 · 22/08/2013 09:36

Hope you have a nice birthday today - you know tell your husband that what you want is a big bar of chocolate and then eat it with him on the sofa when the kids are off in bed. Even if you are both really skint a choc bar can be paid for in coppers and 5ps. Agree with OP who said don't do out for dinner. Fish and chips or a cake is cheaper and then everyone in the house has a wee treat on your special day. DH and myself were once skint on Valentine's day and we did just that and had a bottle of bubbly that we had been saving. We still remember that one Valentine's Day but none of the others. Don't fight with your DH, it's tough for him too and he probably feels bad that he can't treat you the way he'd like to. Things will get better.

Happy birthday!!!

Its my 39th birthday today...we are celebrating by going to Go Outdoors after work. I'm not entirely sure how that works to be honest Hmm

Ah well the wine will flow later...

ChampagneTastes · 22/08/2013 12:54

Hope I'm not too late. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Enjoy your cream cakes and chick-flicks and tell your boys that mumsnet demands that they wait on you hand and foot for the day.

SweetLathyrus · 22/08/2013 13:34

Happy Birthday! YANBU.

Perhaps you could do what I have done in the past and nominate a more convenient day (I spent years either taking or marking exams on my birthday Sad, so I just moved it! And a bit of pampering doesn't need expense, just thought

Tittypulumpcious · 22/08/2013 13:37

Happy Birthday! Get a lovely bubble bath going, candles a vat bottle of wine shut the door and pamper yourself insisting you are not disturbed while your dh handles childcare. Cake Wine Flowers

SybilRamkin · 22/08/2013 14:21
