Messed up BIG time

[Boonzeet]

I've messed up big time and I mean big as in
BIG

What do I do? I'm panicking so much because I thought today was the 10th...
it's the 11th - My mom's birthday.

She's really hurt and upset and has gone to bed now...

How can I make it up to her? I feel so terrible and hollow inside and she won't let me say sorry!

Heard of getting outside, run to 24/7 tesco and buy something

[Boonzeet]

At 9:00 at night? 30 min bike ride? I can't!

[Ashley 12344]

Oops :S

Just book a meal somewhere, and say you couldn't get a reservation for today and it was a surprise.

Tomorrow when she's out working get tickets for some concert of a band she likes

Then on the day the concert is supposed to be on surprise her with them and say you didn;t really forget her bday you just wanted to surprise her

At 9:00 at night? 30 min bike ride? I can't!

Dad?

lol

[Brody]

order something online and say it was ment to arrive today but it didnt?

[cocaine]

use your common sense.. you've had ALL day to go :S so why leave it until now to moan about it

[Kardan]

You went throughout the whole day failing to realise it was your mum's birthday?

Just say you ordered something and it didn't arrive or that the site you ordered it from was under maintenance so it was coming to arrive a day late?

[Smiddy]

I can understand why she would be upset.

I think you not only need to buy her a present, but some flowers also. A nice little card saying "Sorry" on them might be a start.

In terms of what else to do, we don't know what your mum likes!

I totally agree and a big hug is she is still awake.

[Boonzeet]

No but she's really sad.

I feel so bad, I got home from school at five, I thought it was the 10th today and she kept acting funny and I kept asking, and then at about 7:40 I checked my reminders on my phone, saw it, freaked and ran to say sorry but it was too late...

I made a card on the PC for her, I'll print it off and leave it in the kitchen for when she wakes up once I've left for school.

Thanks for help guys... I did buy her a card and a present but I gave the card to my sister as with the present and my sister acted like the good child saying it was all my fault - It's the teacher who wrote 10th of Feb on the board :l

[poll]

also if her birthday was tommorow why have you not bothered to get anything for her tmoz either way you fail so yee.

[bo$$]

Don't admit you forgot..
Just buy something and say that it was supposed to come on her bday but didn't.
Blame it on someone else.

[Shark]

Say your sisters pressent was from both of you, and its the truth ;)

[Prick]

wth.. My mum always starts going on about her birthday like a week before it

So your mum couldn't of been looking forward to it if she didn't mention it to you...

[Herman]

So your mum couldn't of been looking forward to it if she didn't mention it to you...

not really true. for me, i don't really like mentioning my birthday a week before, so that on the actual day itself i can really see who remembers and who forgets.

anyway, to the thread starter. next time, perhaps put the reminder with an alarm at the start of february so that you won't have to rush to find a present at the very last minute. spend some time thinking about what you want to get and plan well.

for now, you can probably lie (as mentioned above by many others :P) and get her a present or if you want, just admit that you have forgotten and give her a sorry card, a present and things like that.

[Mr.Sam]

You should of got something on the way home from school, or say your waiting for a delivery from Amazon.
and just order her a cd or something :)

[sarey]

we all forget things sometimes, dont stress, just apologize, give her a nice card, buy her some flowers, chocolates, perfume, a nice gift you think she'll like and tell her you love her & hug her. :)

tisnt as if she wont forgive you, youre her child!
my mum wouldnt hold a grudge against me for forgetting
(nowadays television tends to do that to te youth!)

I did this once, it was in 2007, it was her most recent birthday. And she was totally sad and making me feel guilty, my birthday is a month after, she didn't get me anything :/

[Krusty]

ouch..
erm
id say
order something from argos!
reserve it
go get it ! ;D
say it was "late comin through"
then she wil forgive youuu

[Neversoft]

Buy her something REALLY good.

[le harry]

buy her a car

[Seacat]

How d'ya manage to go a whole day without realising its your mums bday?

Don't the cards around the house from other people give it away? Or surely your mum / mums family/friends have mentioned it or have visited today? :s

Forget about it..

[Dan2nd]

Lol I'm glad I have my sister to remind me :P Why don't you invite all her friends round for a 'suprise party'
