Who's in a relationship and happy? Page 7

Feb 1998 - met through the newspaper
April 1998 - she moves in and sells her flat
May 1998 - got engaged
July 1998 - expecting first child/Jo made redundant
April 1999 - Hannah born but has to go back into hospital for a few days
September 1999 - got married
October 2001 - bought first house together
December 2001 - Hollie born
January 2003 - Charlie born
October 2003 - I'm made redundant but get another job straightaway
August 2006 - our only overseas holiday since our honeymoon
December 2007 - forced to sell up for money reasons
May 2008 - forced to leave rented house for a much smaller place
December 2008 - work bonus and pay rise refused, work not going well
March 2009 - get bonus and payrise back after knuckling down.
May 2009 - mum dies
June 2009 - Sort out finances with family help

At the end of the day I'm happy to be with my wife. We've had ups and downs but without each other we'd never have the bundles of hatred, er, joy that are our children. We are quite similar and that's not always a good thing because we have a habit of getting the same things wrong ratherb than having a sensible other to keep a hand on the rudder.

Joking aside I can't imagine life without her.

I can't really remember what I wrote in the advert but there's a fair chance GSOH was in there. There was a price per word and GSOH is cheaper.

...I may also have mentioned about having an impressive appendage too. Can't be too be careful - no-one would've called if I'd said what I was really like.

I've just clicked 'OK' on your avatatar, and I quite agree with you. It's all grey and got 'OK' tatooed on it. Yuk.

You're the one with Elliots' missus on your mind so much you can't get my name right. You dirty old man!

Tut.

Nah. Not tut tut. I've always thought that it's better to make sure that you are really trapped [Hannah born] before trapping yourself completely [got married]. Just my theory.

No. Trappage is the other way around. If a marriage doesn't work it can be got out of. You can't reverse a baby. That obligation and link to your partner is there forever.

There's always murder. Murder the wife, sell the kid.

That actually made me, if not laugh exactly, then smile loudly.

Hurrah!
