I was torn this morning about bringing my book in to sit outside with at dinnertime, or bringing my gym kit for Body Conditioning (which I've only just recovered from!_ and I opted for the gym kit :eek:
I don't think NIM will take what you said the wrong way Dinah, if he does he's a big girl and you can tell him that from me! I'm always surprised by how little time in the grand scheme of things I've been with OH because it feels like forever; after about 2 months it felt like we'd been together years, it's a good thing because it shows that you can't imagine being without him!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -

Meh, some people are just rubbish at romance. I am one of those people! For our first Valentine's Day OH had bought me a silver bangle and got it engraved, typical me picks out the grammatical error on the engraving which changed the meaning of the message and laughed at it, OH looked crushed and I felt really bad! We still giggle about it now though and he's learnt that I'm just useless!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.

Birdie, that's the kind of thing I'd do! I get really fussy about grammar and spelling - partly cuz of uni/teacher training, they're really strict on it!
What did the engraving say? You'd think they check it's right before engraving it! Sweet of your OH for trying though!Total Debt (Dec 2015) £11,500 : Currently £7,675Lose 21lb : 0/21

Well it's a bit lame... when we were first going out I started to joke that he was a limpet because he would cuddle me to death when I was trying to sleep so a silly nickname developed. When he went to get the bracelet engraved he told the woman he wanted it to say Love, Limpet. It actually says Love Limpet so now his nickname has changed to Love Limpet! Luckily the engraving is on the inside so people don't see it or we'd be getting odd looks!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.

:rotfl: That is DEFINITELY something I would do, and OH would be really offended too! 'Love Limpet' is probably the best pet name I've ever heard though!
