Awwww, QofT, didn't know you had a blog (oops typed bog then ) - what lovely reading it makes!!! I am so happy for you. You really do deserve it.

New York, wow. Glad it's still going well.

edam · 04/02/2007 09:57

Wow Amanda, glad it's going so well. Aw. I think you've got the script for a chick lit novel, there.

Nothing special for Valentine's Day, QoT? But don't you realise that there are hundreds of Mumsnetters waiting to drop hints to their partners/husbands, based on an innocent "Oh, guess what?! Amanda's man has organised . . . "

Yes, I can see where you are coming from.

Just an idea: one alternative might be that if/when you move in with him, you buy a little house to let out to someone - would your salary, plus the rent, cover a mortgage? Then you have a house of your own/investment for the future - something to leave your daughter, even if you never use it.

On the other hand, he might see this as a lack of commitment from you to your relationship - a keeping your options open -guess you'd have to discuss this with him as/when things move on.

PS Have followed your threads, but haven't posted on them before. However, they always bring a big smile to my face. So glad that things are still working out OK (more than OK) for you.

Is this for real? I know it is but it just sounds like an incredible love story. Does he have any single friends Amanda?

I meant, the whole thing is so 'pretty woman'. Sorry, don't mean to make out it's not true, i'm very pleased for you, you've been through a lot .

DelGirl · 04/02/2007 11:30

well, if he has any single friends, pass them my way. SWF 41, 1 dd, own house and car

Lovely update, so glad he's still great even after the first flush has died down. He sounds a really good, genuine, thoughtful man - good, you deserve him!

Cadbury and I were texting each other on New Year and both admitted that although we were both having perfectly pleasant (if somewhat tame) evenings - we both kept thinking about you! Sad

It is heartwarming though.

Hattiecat · 04/02/2007 14:11

Lovely- I followed the thread over xmas and new year and then i completely couldn't remember your new name, then found it and soooooooo glad to hear that you are so wonderfully happy - its just lovely!

NbgsYellowFeathers · 04/02/2007 14:14

Omg how fantastic.
I have wet eyes too

Earlybird · 04/02/2007 14:35

Wonderful news that it is clearly more than a holiday fling, and continues to go well. Just curious, how is your difficult immediate boss?

CocoLoco · 06/02/2007 13:03

Didn't he offer to take you skiing at half term? Bet you'll take him up on that next time .
Exciting to be planning to move in together too, will your DD have to change schools? That might influence when you want to make the move, much easier to switch schools in September.
