Just had an email saying thank you for the xmas card but I am Ms X not Mrs Y

[TheBlonde]

FFS I cannot be bothered to write out two surnames on the envelope - do people really care about this>??

TheBlonde, just don't send them any more cards! This does rankle with me a bit because MIL insists that my surname is dh's surname when I think I'll call myself what I bloody well like! She even has me and SIL down in her address book with her surname but hell will freeze over before I use it myself!
But with anyone else I assume it is just to save space on envelopes so I don't get bothered about it and definitely wouldn't send an email. She should be grateful that you took the time to send a card!

gosh, how RUDE some people are.

I tend to address the younger generation as Tom and Kate (not ALL of them, obv)
or the Brown family or the Browns
the older generation I use the traditional title.
anyone who requires you to use the title Dr is a ponce of the highest order.
imo.

I usually double barrel my married mates names for a laugh when posting something to them, ie the 'Murphy-Cullens'! Because it just sounds so ridiculous and aspirational and they are not at all

Well - I really couldn't give a flying Fck whether I was referred to as Mrs DHname DH Surname or mrs myname DHsurname or whatever - I am however intensely annoyed by the card we receive every year from DH's friends ( whom I have met) to DHname and Margaret - I have never been known as Margaret my name doesn't even begin with M* FFS

No that really pisses me off !!

Could be worse I usedour wedding guest list on the compter (which DH had created) when doing xmas cards.

And I noticed that hubby, obviously trying to be funny had added "ski" to the surname of an old uni friend who had a slightly Russian sounding last name. So instead of been Ms Russian, she was Ms Russianski.

Well I only noticed it 2 years after our wedding so obviously sent her a card the year before (and probably the bloody wedding invatation), in a name mocking her surname. She never mentioed it and I've been too embarrassed to bring it up.
