    Birdie - me and OH definatly have the playful insults type of relationship, and play fighting. Although OH doesnt seem so keen on that anymore, think he forgets his own strength and ends up hurting me.
    I cant imagine OH ever being romantic and mushy, but then i suppose thats quite good because that sort of stuff embarasses me!

    Also loving your misspelling of the word 'barber' as I now have a mental image of a load of singing elephants in stripy jackets and straw hats!

    Now THAT's romance!

    Embarrassed me too at first, but it doesn't have to be public and whenever I'm feeling a bit down I can just pull a romantic NIM moment out of my head and it makes me feel a lot better. Which is almost better than the moment itself.

    Birdie birdie birdie, that would then mean I am not a man. And I can assure you, with Dinahs full support, that I am indeed a man. Ergo your assumption is flawed therefore your whole hypothesis is wrong. Admittedly I'd love to be able to keep D fed etc also. Admittedly I'll rarely do flowers for the next while but I'll always have my little bits here and there. I've written poems etc but barbar shop Quartets are very expensive (I'm waiting for martin to give me some advice on affordable ones).Long story short he just needs to pull up his socks and get his britbut in gear.
    I'm sure you are a man my dear, I'm just saying OH is a super boy's boy. He has grown up with uber manly rugby men and only had brothers around him as a bairn. He forgets that I'm not a boy sometimes, even calling me 'Good lad' now and then! It is the curse of growing up in a rugby club, they're all the same!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    It doesn't bother me now, I learnt from early on that I was one of the boys, even the boys invite me to come out with them all even if no other girls are there because I'm one of them...which is odd because I'm a girly girl! It does make me laugh when he realises what he's said mid-way and says 'Good ladssssssss'!

    My Oh has his moments but generally he isn't too much of a romantic type. He did surprise me with roses on valentines day after getting a friend to give him a lift the 30 odd miles to where I was at uni. We weren't together at the time as well (we broke up for a couple of months). He did say he was going to buy a basket the other day too and take me on a picnic but i didn't respond very well so think he gave up on that idea!

    LOL Wendz, you can't put them off when they try to impress you! Why would you not want to go on a picnic? I love them! Last time we went on one OH nearly got mauled by a swan, it was brilliant! For me anyway!

    Aww thats quite sweet wendz86 - especially considering you werent together!

    When OH i and split up very early in our relationship, his idea of winning me back was turning up on my doorstep with a chinese takeaway. The sad thing is we did get back together that night:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
