Oh that's entirely understandable - allergies are rubbish. I've only once had severe hayfever, about five years ago when a rogue cloud of pollen drifted over from Scandinavia. It was hellish all week (I live in East Anglia) and then I went to stay with my bf in North London that weekend and it lifted very quickly. Nasty stuff so you do have my understanding on that front.
Mine's the 20th. I don't know about you but I always get a weird array of birthday cards as the shops are stuffed full of Christmas cards. Having worked in WH Smith for three Christmases, I know they put a huge number of their regular birthday cards to make way for the mountains of Christmas stock.
The worst thing about it for me is that my only brother's birthday is June 1st and he gets to have birthday barbecues. I would LOVE to have a birthday barbecue and enjoy a nice warm drowsy evening in the outdoors on my birthday, getting nicely drunk with good friends without freezing my back end off. In fact, I'm considering bringing my birthday celebration forward three months to do so!
BTW - are you a St Andrew's Day baby? I'm a St Edmund's Day baby!
