Special days that happen in the first week of a month ALSO get noted at the end of the previous month because sometimes I'm (ahem) not so good at turning the page on the calendar in a timely manner. If all goes well, I actually remember to look at the calendar.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-68622129519200015042013-10-13T22:58:01.861+00:002013-10-13T22:58:01.861+00:00Might help...Might help...Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743921972328074980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-56585045656913013612013-10-13T21:42:13.647+00:002013-10-13T21:42:13.647+00:00I'm usually good at remembering birthdays but ...I'm usually good at remembering birthdays but when it comes to forgetting them, it is always an epic fail.

Sometimes, i forget to post the card in time, though and have tried to save face by sending an e-card so it arrives on the day. If i realize the card will arrive late and the person isn't one for e-cards then i phone and wish them a happy birthday.<br /><br />As for writing them on the calendar, that's all well and good, but i forget to check my calendar half the time.
