Ok then, well what I’ve decided to talk about is the time I forgot to wish happy birthday to one of my friends,which I feel really bad about, not least because he always remembers my birthday.

Anyway, as for when this happened, well I suppose it must have been about three or four weeks ago, so it wasn’t all that long ago. And basically what happened was that I was in the middle of preparing for my university exams, so I had quite a lot on my mind, as you can probably imagine. And it was only when my friend texted me a few days later that I suddenly remembered it was his birthday. So I called him straight away and wished him a belated happy birthday, coz you know, “better late than never”!

And he was really good about it, you know, he told me not to worry, and said that birthdays are no big deal, so he wasn’t fussed about it. But as I said earlier, I still felt pretty bad about it, and so I told him I’d try to make it up to him somehow.

So yeah, I guess that’s pretty much all there is to say really, and hopefully in the future, I’ll get better at remembering peoples’ birthdays!
