    Love it Meritaten!!!!!

    Thing is we get loads of the "sold a garage in Chelsea and bought some land so now you are all my serfs" types. You know the ones, all kitted out in Barbour and Hunter wellies. They got very confused when our car turns up and the pony tailed Mr Zaxdog, the goth me and Rax the lurcher pile out with nary a twinset in site :D

    When they hear my accent I can see their wee brains start to implode :rotfl:



    I don't understand this at all.

    I'm obviously missing the point, unless it's no more than nouveau riche versus old money.

    I love posts like this! My OH and I haven't been together too long will soon be a year but he does the most lovely of things.. I guess most of these sound normal but after a long term abusive relationship before this the little things mean so much...
    - Buying me some goats for valentines day (I only said once how cool it'd be to have goats)
    -Listening to me rant about my crazy family and other things
    -Knowing I'm not happy and going out of the way to try and make it better..
    -Putting cider/wine/coke in the fridge to chill when he knows I'm on my way to his
    -Baking me cakes and cooking the most amazing meals even when he's had a long hard day..
    -Telling me I look good even after I've spent all day outdoors in a gale and horizontal rain..

    :)

    Nouveau riche???????? :eek: I wish :rotfl:

    I live in a beautiful part of the west coast of Scotland and we have a lot of people from the south of england coming for an idyllic retirement who then want to change and re-organise EVERYTHING.

    They get very annoyed when the natives get restless and do things like "trespass" :rotfl::rotfl:

    1. Because as well as me he's taken on my 2 dogs. When the smelly one is tooting all night and gassing us out he still smiles and laughs :)

    2. He has said that I'm the first girl who hasn't tried to 'change him', I just accept him for how he is.

    3. Like lulu, he's also told me I'm the one he's going to marry. This was a massive confidence issue in my previous relationship so knowing someone genuinely wants to marry me is amazing.

    4. When I'm having girly pains he makes me tea, runs me a bath and rubs my belly.

    Tbh there's loads more but this could get nauseatingly soppy for you all!! Needless to say we are very happy and I always feel loved by him, he is awesome :)

    Because there's absolutely no way he could put up with me if he didn't... :rotfl:

    He'll always give me a cuddle, even if I've been a cranky cow all day, if I wake him up in the middle of the night because I can't sleep.

    Trepass? The natives in my idyllic corner of the UK wear Barbours as they have done for decades - the rat race escapees wear suits!

    The laws of trespass are different in Scotland and there is a statutory right of access.

    Despite my family, the occasional bout of hysterics, & a nasty habit of snaffling his fleeces & coats (often the ones that still fit him), he's still here.

    He makes things. From scratch. Meals, properly researched AngloSaxon shoes, bone needles - odd things that would be hell on wheels to shop for.

    When I was distraught by a gimlet look for being pregnant & ringless, he took me to Argos to buy a "maternity" ring that day.

    He eats my attempts at cooking & reminds the lads to say thankyou. (Then teaches them to do it right, but manners come first.)

    If you'll excuse me, I've suddently got the urge to go find him & hug him.
