DOH!

I have pretty much spent the whole of this month wondering why I appear to be getting all of my social arrangements muddled up, being a day late for birthdays, double booking weekends etc etc.

I now realise that this is because the very attractive looking free wall calendar Exodus very generously sent me is WRONG. It very helpfully starts January 1 on the WEDNESDAY (it was of course a Tuesday) and that error gets carried right through the month. So my calendar says that 31 January and 1 February both fall on the same Friday.

It's really annoying. I thought my best mate's birthday was on TUESDAY 28 January, so thought my card would be on time if I sent it today, but of course the correct date should be MONDAY 28 January, meaning my card is a day late. But things like that have been happening all month, and I thought I was finally going sea lion.

Pesky crap free calendars.

The worst thing was that at the start of the month I had this vague sense that I had an extra day of holiday because I didn't have to go back to work until the Wednesday, but it was in fact the Tuesday. Goddammit.

Darn it.

My baby is acutally due on Monday 28th January. I wonder if he was reading a pesky free calendar?

Patrick said...

*wonders how A3 sized free calendar finds way into Fids' womb, but too polite to ask*

Fiddy and a Half said...

Wouldn't be too difficult now!!

Patrick said...

Ew.

*even ITB shocked*

But why would you WANT to, anyway?

*is very disturbed*

Fiddy and a Half said...

Meh, childbirth has addled me brain :)

Patrick said...

Wouldn't some additional shelving and clever use of redundant space (space under stairs, under eve, loft space) be more comfortable?

Patrick said...

Childbirth often addles women's brains. That is why when some women have children they develope a sudden urge to own a massive four by four with which to straddle public highways outside schools at 3.30 pm every week day.

A'noon all - its official - I'm on the raspberry leaf tea (for the blokes - this is the herbal thing which is SUPPOSED to encourage the baby to arrive)

For the record, it tastes like a hedge.

Fiddy and a Half said...

I can recommend one thing for early birth missus but you know what that is

*is one handed typing again*

Natural Blonde said...

Out of the questions Fids, out of the question ;-)

HUC said...

Nice! Sounds earthy. Woul a really really hot chili not work?

For the record, Northy will stick to Yorkshire tea.

Patrick said...

Fruit teas are usually disappointing tasting. I religiously have a cup of jasmine green tea instead of coffee in the afternoon. Which tastes like a pond.

Patrick said...

Fids, what IS your recommendation for early birth, and is it the REAL reason for the bruising on little Jack's head?

Fiddy and a Half said...

begs the question why itb

Fiddy and a Half said...

LOL not the reason for the bruising

get on your hands and knees
and......
......
bleach EVERYTHING

Natural Blonde said...

LOL Fids, I may give the cleaning a go!

Perhaps the worse the tea tastes the more good it is doing you? I have to say the tea the herbalist has given me tastes better than the medicine I was on. That tasted of pure twig. At least this has the edge of leaf...

I went to Damien Hurst's Sensations exhibition a few years back, one of the exhibits being a greatly sped up camera journey from the persepctive of a piece of food. It films the plate, then going into the mouth, down the oesophagus, into the intestines and bowels and then finally out into the lavatory bowl.

Twas disgusting yet fascinating.
