The Ultimate Incentive proposed! Time for an ultimate challenge...

I love the #1 idea, sounds like something my OH would do. and #10 is right up his street too - more to annoy me than anything. Some are a bit cringey though, and I'd be seriously scared if OH tried #17 with me.

I didn't read vary far into these but all apart from 9, 12 and 13 made me want to gag!

Whats wrong with 17?! NIM does that one! Admittedly without the carrying, but hes banned from carrying me as its too scary in case my head gets clocked off door frames! Some are cringey but I think some are really lovely, I never liked all the smushy stuff till I met NIM and now I love that he makes an effort to give me these amazing moments and feel like a princess.

ETA: Lol we do #53 regularly, its lovely!

Lets just see how involved he gets before I tell him to keep the money!

Tete_en_l'Air

What was 17? No sorry I think they're mostly awful, though I did like the one about having your hair brushed . Things like that don't make me feel like a princess they make me feel awkward I'm starving is it tea time yet??? Bloody diets!

ETA - Actually #62 - I've asked for a kite for the last two Christmases, never got one!

Dinah93

Lol different strokes for different folks I guess, think NIM has just spoilt me rotten at this point! He told me not to buy him anything for Christmas, but to come up with a suprise, so trying to think of the perfect idea.

I LOVE having my hair brushed! It makes me feel really sleepy! I think the only romantic thing OH has done lately is his reply to my text saying my foot really hurts... "tonight I'll be brave and rub it for you"

I didn't know whether to be offended or think it was sweet! :rolleyes:

I think it's so sweet that you and NIM are romantic though.

ETA - *Only* 16 reviews I need to write until I reach 20,000 miles! I put tons of effort into my Carluccio's review though and it took me ages so I think the next 16 will be short.

I can't see the list as work has blocked it, gah! I'm intrigued! If it's romance stuff though I'm probably going to side with Tete! Whenever we try romantic it just turns into a joke!

But seriously some of those are AWFUL! I'd be really cross if my OH started defacing my books by trying to spell out romantic messages.

Some of them are very sweet though - I quite like the ones that require forward planning like the treasure map or little pressie in your suitcase as they show that your partner has been thinking about you. I'd find the princess thing a bit awkward too, but I don't really like being pampered - is that weird?!

It's nice to see that romance isn't dead though, Dinah - NIM sounds lovely!

Oh Zig, some boys just aren't designed to be romantic in a traditional sense, but nice all the same OH does lots of little things like hiding Wispa Golds in the fridge as they're my fave and taking my car to fill it with petrol on a Sunday as he knows I hate having to do it on the way to work on a Monday morning. I couldn't ask for any more!

Dinah93

Oh I'm definitely spoiled, I take those things to be base level now! Today was the first time I've filled up my car in about 4 months, and I only did it cos our petrol station is closed for refurbishment so I filled up at the one at work. I love him brining me home little treats, doing all the manly stuff as it were! My dad is seriously romantic too, but I don't think any of it is tacky, none of the 'naming a star' simplicity or certainly no defacing of books!

Speaking of, currently looking at the Japan books on Amazon, considering getting one so I can see if we'd be better planning our own trip or going on an organised tour one.
