Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Four weeks of miserable weather, darkness, the world getting its knickers in a knot over a hallmark holiday, and not even my birthday is enough to lift the gloom (February is a truly shit time for a birthday - prospective parents take note, avoid conceiving in May! I can rant about this at length if provoked) - so join me in celebrating instead FABruary. Do something every day that's at least a little bit fabulous:

Use your good china for your morning cup of tea (what are you saving it for anyway?)
Take time to watch the sun rise or set
Buy yourself flowers just because they're pretty
wear more jewellery than the occasion calls for because sparkly (or not sparkly, jewellery tastes may vary)
Have a really indulgent bath
tell someone you love how awesome they are and see them smile
go for a walk at lunch and make a point of looking for the signs of spring (they're probably there, unless you're swamped by snowmageddon, in which case make a snow sculpture or throw snowballs, admire the beauty of a frosted tree)
Make your favourite dish for supper and set the table as if it's a special occasion
spend a whole evening rewatching your favourite TV show or doing yoga, or scrap booking, or whatever you will seriously enjoy

Share your other ideas and evidence of your daily fabulousness here.

I started with a breakfast of fresh croissants, coffee, and orange juice, then worked from home curled up on the sofa next to my dog. It was pretty darned fab.

stop abusing audio equipment. :hysterical: won't somebody think of the techies! :/hysterical:

Isn't February the shittest time for a birthday, though?
I take it as personal slight from my parents, that my birthday is in Feruary and my sister's in June. It just sets the whole tone of preferential treatment that she received throughout our childhood.

...only if born on 14th. I nearly was, and if I had have been, I was due to named Valentino.

And I'm not Italian.

I'm not sure why February is a rubbish time for a birthday. People born in late December of early January have it worse as present ideas are used up at Christmas and January is more a month of diets and austerity.

TRO Staying indoors forever
Couldn't agree more. It's a rancid arse of a month - dark and nasty and cold just at the time it's been dark and nasty and cold for 3 months are you're fed up with it.

My birthday was 22 Jan and I was 3 weeks premature so my foetal self knew February was no time to enter the world and I went early.

Even Greg, who invented the Gregorian calendar, realised and allocated just 28 days to this purgatory.

I'm going to work out how much extra spending money I've got allocating my salary over 28 rather than 31 days, and spend this daily on nice stuff.

Meanwhile, my brothers were born in Feb and I was born in June.

Rae is right. I was totally the Golden Child and they were treated like the wastrels they were*. Serves them right for having February birthdays...

what TRO said, though I was born more or less on time. They had to emergency ceasar me though, as it was subzero and I did a somersault to try and stay in as long as possible.

Also, for anyone thinking of playing along at home, the idea isn't necessarily that you have to spend money on things. Fabulosity can also be free!
