How I blushed

Thank you so much for all your advice when my DGD was driving me to distraction when her parents were away and we were looking after her. I also have a far more serious problem that I need all your help with but while I am trying to get it sorted in my head I thought this may amuse you all. DH and I are well into our 60s and are far from the fine physical specimens we were when we met. DH has no weight problems but is beginning to look scrawny. I am at least 3 stone overweight and am covered with lumps, bumps, stretch marks and cellulite. But despite that , we still enjoy a loving , physical side to our relationship. Well, as much as aching backs, dodgy hips and creaking knees will allow. DH loves to still buy me sexy night wear and although I am more a wincyette nightie sort of person, I am so flattered that he still likes to do this I am more than happy to oblige. Especially a red satin an lace thing that I think is called a teddy. And as it is only us two at home, no one else need know. Last week a red wash had just finished in the washing machine when one of my DDs came round. Unbidden and unasked she decided to help by putting up the washing. Oh, her face when she pulled out this bit of satin and lace!! Not a word was said, but I think our faces must have been as red as the teddy!!!!!blush

My ex H only ever bought me silk underwear once. It was many sizes too small and he had to take it back!

I had an ectopic pregnancy at 39 years of age. My husband told our teenage children I was in hospital with appendicitis. Before diagnosis, the gynaecologist/obstetrician, a colleague at the time(!), asked me what position I was in (during sex) when I first felt the pain... On my return to work I met him on the way back to my office. He remarked that I was very thin. I replied that I had always been thin. He replied: "Yes, of course...I should know"....nod, nod, wink. I left 2 months later but only because I was planning to.

That is a lovely insight to your life. Hope your DD realises just what loving relationship her parents have.

Too funny! That’s the last time your DD will help with laundry!

How lovely - I could have written something similar, and so could my mother. So I know what a gift it is to know that a loving and caring sex life is important.
So I also know that your DD will smile fondly, and when she has dodgy hips and creaky knees, she will remember that love doesn't depend on perfection.

My very cheeky DD would have been rolling round the floor laughing.

Pantglas2 that made me laugh too, but it’s also very true ?

What a lovely story. I'm old and fat and wish my DH was more like yours. Good luck to you both, you sound as thought you have a lovely relationship

I was sorting out my old clothes for the charity bag, when I came across two saucy, flimsy, really short 'play' nighties. I haven't worn them for years but decided I couldn't throw them away as they held such happy memories for me. Those were the days!!
