So I forgot our wedding anniversary last month : http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17766722

Guess what I did this morning...

Just before leaving for work I thought I'd get romantic and kiss the misses and wish her a happy birthday...

I did so and here was her reaction...

" WTF do you mean birthday ? "

--- silence ---

Then like a sledge hammer it hit me.

" Oh yeh its on Monday " :rolleyes:

Back to square 1 boys - think I need to find a BIG present over the weekend.

And she let you live? :eek:

Well, better too early than too late I guess.

She should have told you at the end of the day

gjrc · 14 Sep 2007 at 11:23

how about you get a diary??

or put the dates into outlook and set reminders for a week in advance.

You should've said...

Aren't you worth 4 days of birthday wishes dear?

And say happy birthday to her at every opp. until Monday (then forget*).

*this bit is a joke.

for a guy that screws up a lot your not very good at covering up your mistakes. Why didn't you just laugh and say ha just kidding saving you this problem now.

rick827 · 14 Sep 2007 at 11:29

Care much? lol I dont know how you can forget, let alone not have a present for her by now..

meghatronic · 14 Sep 2007 at 11:29

Why are people bothered about dates? And presents why I'm at it?

Only 3 people remembered my birthday this year - two of which were family.

Get yourself a nice PDA for her birthday - they have calenders and everything!

I agree. Infact, I use my birthday as an excuse to buy my parents a special present to show them how much they mean to me.

You should buy her a new husband, or atleast a steamy affair

Simple solution to this

More Wife time and significanlty less Computer, Internet and TV time. Not even as a temporary fix but a long term thing, will give you something worth remembering.

And buy a diary

I met your mum last night.

Couldn't resist.

Yes I have - I live with them. And they would kill me if I forgot - I was wondering why the big deal!

Should've said you knew it was on monday, but it wouldnt be a suprised if you'd done anything on her actual birthday....
