Nutty, I don't want to lose halfmy barnet! I don't remember signing that form when I agreed to this baby thing!
BB, I'll believe that you're younger than DH - millions wouldn't Glad you found your Lansinoh.
WFH, I hope that you mention DP's participation in the Poolympics over dinner with all of his friends or something. If they're in your house, you're not breaking any rules Great that DS1's phobia is being overcome by such silliness
Ju, nice suggestion to FIL - if you don't ask, you don't get!
soon2be, what you've said about childcare is really interesting. I was thinking I'd put George in the uni nursery, but your point about very small children is a good one.
My story of how I met DH is really unromantic & convoluted. Technically it was on the internet, on another forum. He was engaged at the time & was going to move in with his fiancée in a house that was near to where Gary Barlow lives - he knew I love Take That & every time he saw me post he'd tell me about how he was going to live next door to Gary Barlow That was about the extent of our conversation (apart from me occasionally telling him to get lost ) until we met at a BBQ at a mutual friend's house. I was there with my ex, but he'd just split up with his fiancée. Apparently if I'd been single 'something would've happened that day'. Cocky git. I did find him quite attractive, though - & remember engaging in an animated discussion about crumpets (?!) with him.
He ended up going out with that mutual friend for a few months & in that time I broke up with my ex & rebounded at another mutual friend, who is still one of our best friends & was here on Wednesday, even Because all 4 of us knew each other, we spent a fair bit of time in each other's company, even though we were scattered around the Midlands / Yorkshire / Cumbria.
DH was doing a part-time uni course in Cambridge & to get from there to where he lived, he had to change trains in Birmingham, so I'd meet him for a drink & a chat every so often. There was an awkward moment when I hugged him goodbye once, when we both felt like there was going to be a kiss, but knew that we couldn't. That was the first time I'd ever really thought about him like that.
Those relationships ended independently of each other & DH came to visit me in Brum 'as a friend', staying over in a hotel. His cunning plan was to get me drunk & see what happened. In reality, we were in the hotel room for about 20 minutes before a playfight turned into tickling, which turned into sex Incidentally, he was the first man to ever make me orgasm & I was so impressed that I told him there & then that I was going to have to marry him
frekkles, it's nice that you're being positive enough to still enjoy the sunshine (& having lots of sex! )
