I will succeed!!!
I officially hate having a December birthday!!!
Mine is the 18th, so exactly a week before Christmas. As you can imagine, despite making plans well in advance, it's never easy to get people together to celebrate. It's always a hyrbid birthday-Christmas something celebration.
I just got an e-card from a mate which reads:
Merry Christmas babes!!! Have fun!
Love (name)

P.S Happy birthday too - I can't make the drinks now sorry. Left my shopping too late and gotta do it that weekend as too many parties on from now until then. Maybe next year.
Now, I appreciate it's a busy time of year and people are short of cash, so I never expect gifts etc - never had.
But I am cheesed off with always being a P.S something.
I make so much effort for my friends - travelling to see them, thoughtful gifts (usually handmade like a scrap book)...and this 'friend' cannot even send a separate birthday e-card? WTF?
I don't mean to sound selfish or anything, but it's driving me mad this year. My works doo is on my birthday and I have to drive...woohoo. My fave restauraunts were flooded out so can't even go there with OH for a meal and as it's a Friday - had to cancel my party and put it back to January. The few who could make it I'm meeting in Manchester...ME travelling to THEM.
So it's going to be me, OH, best mate and her OH having a meal and then another mate coming out later. Sod the rest of em - I'll have fun. Just fed up with mine never being taken seriously - or the effort I make to attend theirs and plan my own.
Sorry - just fed up after so many years of blah birthdays :-(
