It's my wedding anniversary today and........

[pauldavid]

I forgot to buy a card.

Now, it's not all bad as I managed to find a christmas card earlier which I have modified with a black marker. I've also added a label to point out that the bird on the front is a red breasted love bird rather than the commonly seen robin.

Do you think I might have got away with it?

Last week a lady who works for me said it was her wedding anniversary,33 years !
I went out to the shops and came back with 4 cans of bear, and presented them to her,
She looked a bit vacant for a while,
I then said that they were for her hubby who deserved them after putting up with her for 33 years!
I always take the mickey out of her and thought her old man was going to break a rib he laughed so much

In this house you would not be in trouble at all, I never remember ours and neither does he, it is a bit like mothers day and valentines, etc in this house .... we don't sweat the small stuff

You're buggered.

Mrs Ian has kept every single card that she has got from me (& from others).
Early in our relationship, I once forgot to get her a Christmas card. I said sorry I forgot. She burst into tears.
It was 15 years ago. I haven't forgotten since.

The main ones are (In order)

Valentines Day
Mothers Day
Birthday
Anniversary
Christmas


Moonpig and Funky Pigeon are good for making up personalised cards.

Hey, you remembered you forgot. That's top performance in my book.

Flowers, Chocolates and tickets to the movies will be your saviour.
BTW, my hubby never remembers, I have grown used to it over the years.

The you haven't emotionally blackmailed him or beaten him enough.

Mrs andylaw once sent me a Christmas card from her work, complete with company logo and the scanned signatures of all the staff!! Granted it's normally me who forgets but that year I had actually remembered and bought a rather nice hand-made card for her. I suppose that will learn me!

My wife has an irrational attraction to cards, so I feel your pain.
But on the plus side, this thread has reminded me that my anniversary is on 31st July, we will be on our summer holiday so I will pop out now to buy a card to take away with us.

'pea.. I had no choice not to remember I forgot..upon pain of death the next time.

Nah.
I just say "I'm saving up for an Eddie Merckx EMX-1 and its around £2k" and he just says "OK dear"
I don't need to beat him, I've trained him.

To be fair, we are not ones for convention. He buys me pressies just because, which is nice. Valentines is just a rip off nowadays so the chance of getting flowers on the 14th of feb is slim to non-existant.
I get a pressie on the 8th Jan every year though. Its the anniversary of the day I donated him a kidney. (5 years on its failed but I still got the pressie)

You're far too nice

Nah! I am NOT training a new husband at my time of life. I've only just got this one sorted. Also, he lets me fill our home with Greyhounds
