My turn for a bad day today!

Arrgh, woe is me!

It's my birthday, my fiance is ill and so in bed (he was meant to be taking me out for the evening). I'm seeing all my friends tomorrow so they can't come out tonight too and it's such short notice really. Even more woe...I'm a teacher and one of my classes today were terrors! The car was making some horrible banging noises on the way home so lord knows how much that will cost to replace! I feel rubbish! And I feel so lame that it's my birthday and I'm stuck in with nothing to do and sort of on my own as OH is asleep. Even wedding magazines aren't cheering me up!

Boo hoo :(

    Happy Birthday but count your blessings because if this is a bad for you I'm sure thousands would swap places with you.

    I've had my tea already, there's always the wedding champers though, but that's naughty!

    It's only because it's my birthday. Any other day I'd be ok!
  • Happy Birthday,
    Make the most of your free night, Run a bath, shave your bits and bobs, put a conditioning treatment on your hair and do a fake tan inpreperation for tomorrow.

    Enjoy your relaxing night xx
    I am pleased to give hairdressing help or advice, but a thank you doesn't go a miss.

    I'm not bothered about my birthday or anniversaries for that matter. My birthday is 2 days after Xmas so not a good time for getting out and about and OH often working and friends tied up with family etc.

    Providing I family & friends remember to wish me happy birthday I'm not bothered about cards/gifts or outtings.

    Enjoy the peace and quite. I'm loving having an empty house till 10pm tonight. I've the laptop to myself with no one moaning about keys clicking, a glass of chilled wine and soon a bar of chocolate is coming my way. heaven:rotfl:
