Can you say one thing that your DP does that is completely unnecessary but makes your day that bit better?

[Whatnamenext]

Mine is tea in bed. Everyday. Didn't know I liked tea that much but would really miss it if he didn't do it.

It's amazing how small these gestures are, but represent such respect and love.

He runs me a bath and finds me pyjamas every night even though I don't ask him too.
He also makes me multiple cups of tea everyday :).

Mine also met me at work last week because he didn't want me walking home in the wind :) i live 5 minutes from work :). Our teenage son turned up just behind him because he had the same idea and both decided to come and meet me without telling each other :).

Coffee in bed every morning

Breakfast time is dh's star turn. He gets up & gets himself ready, lays the table, gets the DCs up, then brings me my tea in bed. I slowly come to, then mooch downstairs in mt pjs to dressed DCs, having their breakfast. I'm not a morning person ;-)

Our work hours don't really match up, and I have to be in bed/get up a few hours before him. Each night he makes sure I am snuggled in bed then sits on the end of the bed and chats/iPads with a side light on whilst. I doze off, then tiptoes into the living room until he goes to bed.

He has been known to wake me up at the weekend with a cup of tea and something loaded on iplayer so I can just chill all morning. He is super!

Mine always cleans the toilets because he doesn't think I should have to

This thread is so lovely. I especially love the teenage son thinking the same as his dad. I always say if my son is as nice as my DH I'll be so proud.

I was thinking the same about the teenage son, he must have been brought up well :) - I really hope our future children are as kind and considerate as my dh!

No I can't, I can't name one!I'd have to list more than that.

He makes all my drinks when we're home together. Even when I'm working and can't be disturbed he'll fb me and ask 'Do you want a drink/cup of tea/wine?'

He totally listens to me if something bad is going on, and advises.
He lets me sit on his lap and fall asleep
He looks after 'us' if we go out somewhere. Knows what we're doing, where our things are, fetches and carries. Duty!
Cuddles me to sleep when we're together.
Puts up with my 'unconventional' work and working hours.

Helps with my 'beauty' routines, he learned how to do things such as hair and spray tans so I don't have to go get it done elsewhere (I'd much rather have it done at home).
Basically turns his hand to anything he can do that'll help me. I'm a happy woman :)

Washes my hair and massages my scalp. Always brings me a coffee in bed. He's an early riser but Im not so he watches Sky News on silent with the subtitles on..sometimes Im awake he doesnt know but I can see him looking over often to see if Im awake then he strokes my hair, not hard enough to wake me. Then goes back to watching news.

I love this thread

I love this. Nice alternative to most of the sad stuff you read.

Mine are:
Tea and toast in bed (with a daily rotation of jam selection) this was a necessary pregnancy thing but has carried on through bf

Surprise dishwasher filling and emptying

Surprise all the laundry done if I go out for the say (and no woollens shrunk! He's learning!)

I'm surprising him with a dirty hotel night soon. He doesn't suspect a thing. I have an outfit ...

I drive long distances all weekend, my husband tracks me, and will send me random texts regarding my location. It makes me feel less lonely knowing he is bothered to check where I am.

Lets me sort out my parents' computer issues. Which doesn't sound like such a nice thing until you realise that he's an IT profession and I'm, well, definitely not. but he knows I like tinkering and sorting things out, so he lets me at it unless I'm doing something totally daft.

Goes to work at 5:30am so he can leave early and help with the dinner/bedtime chaos and supervise DD2 while I take DD1 to swimming etc.

There were also many silently appearing cups of tea on my desk when I was finishing my dissertation. I'd look up from my laptop and there'd be a hot cup of tea beside me and no sign of DH

Sneaks out early on a frosty morning to warm up my car
Pumps up my bicycle tyres and fill my water bottle.
Brings me a tiny glass of port before bed at night
Puts up with my huge and rumbustuous family at Christmas without minding.
Is amazingly grateful for every cup of tea and cuddle I give him.

I can't wait for him to come home after seven weeks away working!

He puts my towel on the radiator every morning so it's nice and warm when I come out of the shower. Makes me lots of drinks because I'm pregnant and he knows I forget to drink enough. He's generally fab

DH always brings me tea in bed, although sometimes, on the weekend, I wake up at 7:30 with a cold cup of tea next to me, and he is off riding his bike.

We have lovely husbands don't we :)

so...never mind all the millions of books and articles on how to keep your other half happy, as far as men are concerned we can sum it up in...

Keep making her cups of tea!

Yes kentishgirl!

Listening to me, about whatever, and responding with insightful comments.

Also the tea thing.

He got up at 4:30 am to make me coffee on my first day back at work after 2 months off. He didn't have to get up til 6:30am

He fixed my oven, without me even asking or mentioning it to him, same with my toilet seat.

He's a keeper

When I get home from work tonight I will be met with a glass of tonic (I'm temporarily off the gin) and possibly some nibbles.

He's taken the week off to be with DD over half term so there will also probably be dinner cooking, though as they went out to lunch together today, possibly not if they are both full.

Lovely cup of strong tea waiting for me for when I get out the shower.

He gets the kids up and puts them to bed. Not unnecessary but he never mentions that he does it every day.

He makes a holiday cd every year - a bit like a mixed tape.

He is currently chasing two over tired children round the shower whilst I have a sit down and a glass of wine. Oh yes and cups of tea in the morning.
