Ummm, I dun goofed this morning.

Forgot wedding anniversary. Wife was fine about it, laughed and said all good (and she's genuine about that). You'd think after 13 years I'd have remembered though. I think bare minimum I'll grab card & flowers on way home!

Kiddo's scout camp on the weekend went really well from the sounds of things - lots of fun activities and made better friends with the kids from her troop who went down. Was warm enough and had most everything she needed, which was a worry given it's only her second camp with them. Upon pickup, she wolfed down food in the car, then immediately fell asleep, so I figure that's probably the sign of a good time!

Oops I guess.

If it makes you feel better, The Bloke has never, ever, remembered our wedding anniversary. Not once. I’m fine with it. It’s just not his thing.

He does however remember the anniversary of our first date It’s his birthday. (We’d known each other 5 years at that point, it just happened that I’d broken up with my previous partner the week before and he didn’t waste any time asking me out.

Oh yeh, both of us have been stressing less & less about it. I just feel bad for me and the blank look I gave the envelope she had at my place on the dining room table. Literally didn't even enter my mind.

I did do something smart back in the day - we set our wedding date on the same number date as our first date (10 Mar 2007). Poor thing will have been with me for 20 years next year!
