Kitty I was drinking my coffee when I was reading your post and actually spat my cough out it made me laugh so much !!

Grampy hole remains open....I've advised him!

that expression 'have each other's backs' really gets my back up.

Having gone through it my score came in the red - apparently our marriage is in trouble. Oops, must try harder blush

I could do with DH's back today, his is better, mine is giving me hell!

I just had a quick look online and in May 2016 the DT only had 9 ideas to help keep your marriage fresh.
People who only followed those nine ideas must be heading for the divorce court now.

I suspect that having got this far, we would be best to just keep buggering on in the same old way!

Having said that, if you could just leave grampy's hole open, n&g, I might have a use for it!

I wish I was a better person and do all the things the article suggested.
But I'm not, so he'll just have to put up with me.

grin I would have read all 50 but DH wanted another cup of tea. grin
Can't find it in Google to post a link and it is WAY too long to cut and paste.
What is the DT coming to, though, to use phrases such as "bigging someone up"?

As opposed to '50 ways to leave you lover'
Starting with 'get on the bus Gus'smile

I may have to 'dig' Grampy up then ;-)

There is a an article in today's Telegraph that gives us 50 things we must do to ensure a long and healthy marriage. DH and I are diligently going through to ensure we do all of this of course. We are going to 'have each others backs' - this is a great relief to me - his back is in much better nick than mine. we are going to 'big each other up' DH thought I'd said 'dig each other up' which would be funky. I wish I could find you the link - we found it very strange and funny and could easily be condensed in to - 'be kind to each other'.
