Love notes

There was a time very much so, a little less as the years went on….. but he does end a phone call with love you.
However, yesterday he decided ‘my’ steam generator iron was past it’s time and ‘I’ should have a new one. Ok …. so it was past it’s best with bits broken off the corners and a bit rusty around where the iron rests but it still works. Off we went to Curry’s and picked a new iron. Does this count?

Last night after a very busy and productive evening sorting admin we were climbing into bed and after our goodnight kiss I said thank you for the new iron and he said …. No bother… Merry Christmas…. Please note he was joking.

No he doesn't. Neither of us like schmaltz stuff but he looks after me very well if I am unwell in the manner of an efficient nurse.

Tizliz, that is sweet!

We leave notes for each other when we go out, usually just a post-it and signed with a heart. He sneaks chocolate into the grocery cart, and he doesn't eat it! Little things that are sweet; I think he is more thoughtful than me. I need to step up my game.

MrJ told me earlier, just chatting over a cuppa, that I am his fancy woman…does that count? ?.

I’ve never had one of those.
What dh did do, though, a few years ago now, was surprise me with a big bouquet of flowers. Since it wasn’t my birthday or Valentine’s Day (the only times I ever get any) I was nonplussed.

He said, ‘It’s exactly 50 years to the day since we met.’

In the nicest possible way, I was blown over, Although I remembered the occasion very well, I wouldn’t even have known what month it was, let alone the day!

(I really shouldn’t moan about his explosive sneezes any more, should I? ?)

PollyTickle - Thank you so much!

Tizliz...he's a keeper!!
❤❤

AmberSpyglass yes.

Tizliz, that is so sweet! and all the more precious because he does'nt do romance! My DH does' nt do romance either - perhaps I should buy a jig saw !!!

I always thought the best way to be proposed to would be while stuck in a traffic jam in the rain and realising that you don’t want to be stuck with anyone else, ever.

My husband was never much for being romantic, in fact romance was pretty much non existent, until it came to my Birthday and Christmas cards from him, nothing fancy written, but what he did write was always surrounded by loads of kisses. I miss those cards.

Nooooooo. Not in a million years.

I THOUGHT he was texting me romantically a few years ago, more or less saying he couldn't live without me. Nope. Had an ENTIRELY different meaning. I was misinterpreting.

What was he actually saying, GagaJo?

My other half used to be very romantic with notes and whatnot but I managed to knock it out of him. Not literally of course. Poor chap.

I was never comfortable with romantic gestures really.

Feel better soon DanniRae

That’s so lovely Tizliz. Tiny things that make us feel warm and cosy.
I’m a a bit like DanniRae, my love notes come in the form of thoughtfulness, chicken soup when I’m not well, a cup of tea when I’m busy or a piece of chocolate when I’m down in the dumps.
Either way, nice to know we’re loved isn’t it.
Lovely memories for you Aldom to know how much you were loved.

No love notes but I have been ill with a very bad cold and Mr R has looked after me very well. For lunch today I fancied scrambled eggs and a slice of bread and butter - the result was the nicest scrambled eggs I have ever had and that's more acceptable to me than a 'love note!'

My husband left me post it notes all the time. It's many years since he died, but thankfully I kept some of those yellow notes. How precious they are to me now. A reminder of how very much he loved me.... and I him, of course.

How lovely you lucky ladies !❤️

We both do love notes. Probably nauseating if anyone was to read them, but they make us very happy.

Many years ago when we were in the process of buying the house we are now living in, the process wasn’t going smoothly. We couldn’t find a buyer, the person we were buying from were getting impatient. For quite a few weeks, until we signed on the dotted line, OH left me little poems in places like the tea caddy or under the grill. Proper rhyming verses!

How romantic! Is he trying to get in your good books ?
As for my DH well definitely not. Even his text messages are short and sweet. He does however find Birthday cards that have a nice verse so I’ll have to make do with that.

Nooooooo. Not in a million years.
