Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I'm still shocked and surprised, too.

The waking up part, or that the life sentence wasn't a dream?

I am so bad with dates that I insisted our date to be on my birthday so I will never forget.
I am so bad that I dont remember her birthday, my mothers birthday, my kids' birthdays. Its really bad, I can look at a credit card number once and memorize it till the time I want to use it, I will remember obscure phone numbers from a decade ago, but I will never remember dates. I even once memorized an entire collection of poems to shag this bird I was dating, yep it worked!

Rubydo

Did u recite poems while shagging? #cringe . Is this "bird" now your wife by any chance?
I think men in general are pretty bad with anniversary/birthday dates but I'm sure you get reminded running up to your wife's birthday

hopefully not like this though

The Mrs and I don't really know when we properly got together, so the anniversary date needed to be picked.

I went with May 17th - it was around then anyway and it just so happens to be the date the Saints were in the FA Cup final back in 2003. smart.

Ahh u see I didn't do the whole anniversary when not married stuff, just another expense ha but yes very smart move so u remember the date!

met the mrs on Christmas Eve, got engaged on 4th July.
I have no excuses for forgetting any of the dates.

Rubydo

Nope you really don't. Which one of you got your independence on your engagement day then?

Out of the 6 significant dates in our family 3 are on the 20th of the month and the others are 12, 14, 30. All pretty easy to remember. Also married when were 30 so anniversaries are easy to work out. We were married within 3 months of the proposal as I was accused (with good reason) of being potentially flighty.

My friend has 4 children and they are all born on the 13th. Two in the same month.

best thing was the very moment she said "Yes" a load of fireworks went up. Perfect timing. Nothing at all to do with the day those traitorous colonials celebrate.

Rubydo

That actually all sounds very complicated ha but I'm sure it's easy when you know the people. Just don't get the presents mixed up for your hubby and children, could be pretty embarrassing

I have 4 grandchildren 2 born on the same day as me, the youngest 2 weeks later.
