He's lovely, really ...

Mr Brammers on Tuesday night: Now listen, since you were late getting me your birthday list, and yesterday was hell and today was a holiday, I'm only going to have tomorrow to go shopping for your birthday, so things may not be as exciting as I was planning.

Me: What's wrong with shopping on Thursday?

Him: Well, you'll want something on Thursday morning, won't you? And then you'd want to do presents rather than have me go late-night shopping.

Me (testily): For my birthday that falls on Friday?

Him: Ah. Friday. Not Thursday, then.

Me: How long have we been together?

Him. Thirteen years. Fourteen? Is it fifteen? You do a really good outraged face, you know!


NB: You lot are all quite allowed to forget my birthday, because god knows I am shocking at keeping up to date with my flist's (and at my age, it does not hurt people to forget a few years have passed), but he and I have been together since 1995! Grrrrr!

On a related note, ayes_sid  for yesterday and to separatrix  for tomorrow! I am sending you great gift and relaxed Cake Day wishes!

aww bless Mr B :)

Himself regularly forgot my birthday despite over 17 years together, and also regularly failed to spell my surname correctly.... I always put it down to his dyslexia.

The scary thing is - the conversations we would have about it were almost identical - word for word - honest to god!

In case I forget (I will be doing an exam, and likely freaking out a bit) happy birthday for tomorrow!

There are only so many Boy Excuses they are taught at Boy School ;-) Thank you! And I am pleased to see that you should be finished in time for your day!
