whinge alert! (indulgence required)

[lucy123]

Having a strange day today. I have many many reasons to be happy:

1. its my birthday
2. more people have remembered this year than any time since I was about 6 (probably due to 2 years of whinging about my birthday being made to signify ALL THAT IS EVIL. I know its selfish and petty, but I can't help wishing that people would refer to 11 Sep 2001, or the outrageous attacks on the US or something instead)
3. I got all the cards on time this year due to having moved back to civilisation.
4. We also have adsl now so I can surf again (hurrah! )

But I'm feeling low because, as usual, DP has acted as if it is a normal day. No tea in bed, no prezzie (and I don't want much). Admittedly, it's because he has too much work and no money (we've just moved house and he did say happy birthday - he hasn't forgotten), but a cup of tea costs nothing!!!

Also feel stupid as he does this every year as funnily enough, every year there's something going on. Hormones maybe. Also really fancy a fag, but have to wait until the new baby is born.
And there's no cake in the house.

Am I being unreasonable?

Happy Birthday Lucy123. Hope he brings you something tonight. If not go out and treat yourself and give him the bill.

Happy birthday Lucy123, did you buy that cake and ice cream and Jelly? Hope you had a good day after all.

what a shame Lisa.... my worst birthday was last year - although I did get a card from dh and dd -I had to take my daughter to London to admit her to hospital for open heart surgery at 8 weeks old..... pretty crappy birthday - my birthday dinner - hospital canteen and terrified of what could happen to my daughter the next day on the operating table.... a pretty sucky birthday but that is the price I pay as a mum...

Having said that - I keep reminding dh as it is my birthday in 13 days how bad last year was ( even though it was not his fault) and how he needs to make this year amazing

so I hope when you got home there was a wonderful surprise and this morning was just a ruse to get you thinking he had forgotten....

oops in the mix up of the thread I used the wrong name -

so very sorry Lucy

... not sure if it is for anyone else but the thread is all mixed up....

HOpe you had a wonderful day anyway...

sunchowder that was a great post and can I just say I think your nickname is lovely?
