    Yep, it certainly did work! A kiss on the seafront generally does that :D

    I'm still reading this thread, but I got to this post and turned to mush. And that's coming from a battle-(read: divorce)-hardened (late) thirtysomething who thought she was immune to mushy stuff in the aftermath of what she's gone through.

    Hello. Have you tried making your own version of "ready meals". You could always get your lady to help (offer to share a bottle of wine).
    It would be a cheap way of spending some time together.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    Yeah, we thought we were immune too, but somehow it appears to have shanghai'd us! Thanks for reading! I appreciate it!

    The only problem I have really is that she is extremely allergic to pretty much all foods! But we're working on it ;) Thanks for the ideas tho!

    You could always use her allergies to support your case-you want to know how to make her food that she can eat and enjoy, so why not ask her over and cook together? Would be much nicer than ready meals, I promise!

    Today has been an NSD today, largely as I haven't left the flat! Now biting my nails at the end of Arsenal vs Chelsea!

    Hurrah! More NS for me. However, much not leaving the flat either :(

    gf is over tomorrow night so we'll watch Arsenal vs Blackburn and just relax I think.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
