Afternoon all.

My daughter wins medals for fencing, but I doubt she'd know. :rotfl:

Reminds me, she was on a train a while ago and a chap was trying to chat her up. "What's that in your bag, a walking stick?"

When she replied, "No, it's my sword," he shut up! :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've been meaning to tell y'all this all day

Woman on the bus this morning gets on with a shopping trolley. Nothing too unusual there.

Until said shopping trolley starts meowing! She was going to the vet and had out the cat cage in the trolley to keep it dry

But the cage was the wrong way up in the trolley! That poor puss, it was meowing the whole time

I would never take my cat on the bus. I'd find a way to get a lift or taxi, but never, ever take her on the bus

Thanks! He's put up with a lot over the last 6 years, but then again, so have I Our anniversary itself is actually on Sunday but we're making it an early anniversary weekend as the new job situation meant we couldn't take time off and stay Sunday-Monday. I'm so excited for tomorrow night, we've booked a meal at our hotel and the chef was trained at Jamie Oliver's 15, it'll probably be the fanciest meal I've ever had

:T:T:T

Enjoy!!! :beer:

Might have to change her name Bananababe, not so Teeny now! :eek: Chubby little thing she is, lots of cheeky smiles already. Crawling like mad and standing up at the furniture and not even 9 months yet.

21 other heritage sites = sorry that would be pain for me. Could you not take someone else that would get the same enjoyment as you.

How about going to Greece? he could relax and you could visit the places you like. But honestly im not saying your wrong but if he don't like that doing that for a week then he has a point. that would drive me up the wall.

I don't know anyone else who'd get enjoyment from this other than MIL but she can't walk far and refuses to have a wheelchair. I'd be happy to go alone but I know OH would worry about me driving that far and being alone so I know its not totally out of selfishness he doesn't want this. Greece is an interesting idea, I'd like to see the architecture there

I think some compromise is needed. How's about alternating days? One day you do what he wants and the other what you want?

He doesn't want to go to Scotland at all because it's cold and there's nothing he'd like to do there. Neither of us are interested in drinking and clubbing. It has given me an idea though that if I could save up enough money for 2 holidays I don't see how he could refuse then :think: It will take me a while though

Hi everyone, I’d really like your opinions on this please. OH has again accused me of being selfish. I know I can be sometimes because of my ASD but this time I really feel that he’s the selfish one. I want to go on a sightseeing holiday in Scotland. I enjoy visiting castles and historic buildings and I want to go to Stonehaven to visit Dunnottar Castle and 21 other heritage sites and museums in a 20 mile radius. OH isn’t interested in historic buildings and museums but he does visit them with me occasionally. However he said that spending a week doing this would not be a holiday for him and he’d be totally bored. It wouldn’t be worth just going for the day since it’s over 300 miles and the drive is over 5 hours! He won’t agree to me going alone either so that means I won’t ever get to visit these places unless I outlive him He says it will cost as much as a holiday abroad but we’ve been abroad 3 times and he just wants to sit by the pool all day then go for a sleep in the afternoon, which totally bores me :mad: I really don’t think I’m the one being selfish here

It's very hard, most couples have very different ideas about what they would like to do on holiday.
Ask your OH to make a list of the things he likes to do and see if you can compromise - do what he wants to one day or one morning and your choice next day.
Doing 21 heritage sites in such a short time is probably too ambitious - I aim for a max of 3 places in one day or it all muddies into one.

Ideally you could do with a hotel with a nice pool and a garden and then you could leave your OH to veg out and you can then take yourself off for a few hours - meet up for a lunch picnic or a pub lunch and then do something together in the afternoon.
You do drive?

My OH because of his hours, weird shifts and on call weeks takes a few days to wind down at the start if a break so after breakfast I leave him by the pool with his kindle while I am wandering off by myself around the ship - I go to the lectures, quizzes, library, the spa, film etc and then we meet up later - it used to annoy me that I was doing this on my own but I am like the Duracell bunny, I never stop and OH just could never keep up.

When we are out and about we do all of the heritage sites but we always visit the train stations wherever we are so OH can drool over his engines. I've also had to endure submarine pens and ruins of WW2 runways, ship museums, war cemeteries (upsetting) ...

I like visiting strange foreign supermarkets - OH finds this weird but goes along with the need to wander up and down the aisles
