Earlier this year I was lucky enough to be given a voucher for a personal planner from the fabulous people at www.personal-planner.co.uk For someone as disorganised as I can be this was only going to help me, I’m notorious for double booking and forgetting people’s birthdays. I loved that you get to personalise every aspect of the planner, from the cover to the layout of the pages. Being able to have people’s birthdays inserted into the planner for you was brilliant and means I have a list on one place now. I am very happy with my planner so when they offered me a voucher for any sized planner as part of my Christmas is Coming giveaway I jumped at the chance, whether you are looking for a gift for those tricky to buy for people of want to start the new year with a resolution to be more organised this is perfect.
To enter simply leave a comment below telling me the worst person who’s birthday you have ever forgotten (if you’re super organised just tell me you haven’t forgotten anyone’s); then complete the raffle copter gaget below to tell me you’ve commented.
I also have another competion running to Win a SodaStream drinks maker. You can enter here.

This is going to make me sound really awful but I never get my husband’s birthday right. My brain is convinced that it’s in July but it’s really June. He has to remind me every year.
My best friend! I forget every year & I feel so bad because she always remembers mine!
A friend who I used to work with, she never forgets mine and always sends a beautiful handcafted card.
Usually my nephews I even write the wrong day on the calendar and anyone who see it alwats corrects me x
One of my friends!
One particular friend. I had a lot going on last year and just plain forgot. Unfortunately, she’s one of those people who don’t tend to forgive and forget things like that and still keeps bringing it up . . .
That would be my mother in law – whoops!!
a friend, i was soooo embarrassed
My dad’s! Completely slipped my mind.
my step daughters. eek
Forgot my sisters, very embarrassing
managed to get my brother’s wrong 🙁
my sister – I was a month early
My dads
my other halfs!! didnt realise till a week later
I once forgot my mum’s birthday. Eeeek! Never again!
I always forget my sister’s. Lots of making up to do tonight after this year’s forgetfulness!!
mother in law opps
I only really buy cards for family, me and my friends have never really done cards and presents. The worst mistake i’ve done is not buy my gran a card then run at the last min and buy one saying god mother not grandmother and then realising after i’d written in and have to give her a generic card!
My gran always wanted to be a Nana but I wouldn’t conform and always call all my granparents and greatgranparents by their first names! so my concession is to buy her a nana card and I failed! she wasn’t happy!
I always forget the inlaws!
My dads 🙁
I forgot my best friends last year, but in my defence I was ill at the time!
Angela – Garden Tea Cakes and Me
My grandparents! in my defence they don’t live close and I am rubbish at remembering to send cards in time to reach them.
my grandma ouch
my best friend fiona, who never ever forgets mine and is always really generous, her birthday is in december and i was so busy christmas shopping that i totally forgot her birtherday and im still mortified
my husband i didn’t quite forget i got his birthday a day earlier than it was
it would be quicker for my to tell you how many people’s birthday’s I remembered in the last year. I love the fact the postal system is worse at getting things to places on time as they make it easy for me to say “but I definitely put it in the post yesterday/ Monday/ last week” (while secretly pressing “buy it now” on Amazon….. dreading christmas.
I always forget my best friend’s birthday. Every single year since we met!
Every year I think it’s my dad’s birthday 10 days too early!
I’ll enter as Adele Jarrett-Kerr by the way! 🙂

There are so many friends’ babies now in my life I sometimes forget one.
My brother!! 🙁
I fogrot my brothers.
my best friend!!!! totally forgot, was awful… but being my bestie she didnt even say anything! 🙂
My own birthday
My nana’s – she shares a birthday with my daughter and loves that fact. She never forgets Caitlins birthday but I forgot hers. To be fair I didn’t exactly forget but her birthday was a Sunday and I forgot to send the card on the Friday so it would arrive on the Saturday – that is the sort of detail I would put in my planner. I hate turning the page, seeing someones birthday and knowing I’m too late to post a card or pressie.
my mum
My dad,twice oops
My sister’s :/
I forgot it was my own birthday once! Was around noon before I realised!!
My partner
I can’t remember forgetting anyone’s birthday.
I forget everyone but my Brother’s and Dad’s birthday, but the worst for me is a close family friend who has been there for me through some very hard times, I was gutted that I forgot and spent ages trying to make it up to her.
I haven’t forgotten anyone’s yet, but I felt awful when I couldn’t even call my daughter last year on her birthday.
