Totally trivial, DH remembered my birthday......only problem is it is today and not tomorrow, so I have lots of cards from my family and friends and none from my H and my DS who is only 4 and obviously relies on H to get him a card.
Cut and paste from last nights moan on here below.
DH and I used to have money to waste, not burn,
but waste IYKWIM.
Then we moved North/South and the mortgage has taken every penny for the last 5 years.
I was 40 last year and I refused to nominate a pressie, as we had no money, instead I ring fenced a decent sum of money for a dinner for four of us and to eat in that is what we did.
Bearing in mind I love my B/Day, I thought my, lets not worry about it attitude was quite grown up.(For me)
This year he started asking what I wanted for my birthday...............my answer being....we still can't afford to deliver on last year.............but diamonds are looking good, all in jest as it will be next year before we can spend anything over a few hundred quid.
Tonight I announced that X and Y and Zssss had confirmed the Sunday lunch invitation and should I visit Xxxxxxxxxxxx fish site for a starter ??
His face fell, genuinely fell. He had forgotten my birthday as in tomorrow, but had it in his mind that it was Saturday.
I am, as pissed off as I am, as I refused a big deal last year.
Am I being unreasonable ?? Yes is probably the answer, but boy is he squirming this morning.
