Have I mentioned before that I have a mild (well, you decide..) form of brain-fog after the last 18 months? I would usually describe myself as a well-organised person, but recently….. never mind! At least I hope my friends don’t, because even though I have an old-fashioned Birthday calendar and get reminders online, I have managed to ‘forget’ quite a few this year. And I am sorry for that.
But how to convey it? I could pretend it’s ‘nothing, really’ – this might work if it’s just a day or 2 late..
Not quite my style, to be honest. I could play the ‘cute card’ – it does look more sincere.
The card is by (unsurprisingly, but annoyingly, as I have not been able to find out anything about them) ‘a Straw Hat Card’.
A dash of humour might help…
A Hallmark Card
One doesn’t need too many words to express the feeling – here’s another favourite:
Another Hallmark card
I am always truly sorry for having ‘forgotten’. The final card expresses that extremely well.
and yet another Hallmark card
Am I forgiven? Mostly yes, true friends do understand these lapses. Still, I hope I won’t have to add to my collection – although donations (if you have some old cards that you can bear to part with) are always welcome!
Stay safe and well x
If you forget to send a card or gift to arrive on the actual day, let’s hope they will be surprised and pleased to celebrate again on another day. 🙂
Especially if they receive one of the cards made by you 🌟
Thank you so much for the compliment! 🙂
The sad little worm! My heart…
💖🤗
These are so cute!
I’m a very terrible birthday forgetter … I’m so good at that, that most of my friends aren’t even surprised anymore. Now, that’s a skill! If only one could make money by being a douchebag …
Please don’t call yourself that – your friends obviously do understand, and love you as you are xx
mmm…. I hope I’m more of a napping cat than a sad worm but I tend to be a belated-birthday wisher… I’ve had to make up the ‘official’ idea of a birth-day/week to provide some cover …. thanks for another lovely post !
