He's lovely, really ...

Mr Brammers on Tuesday night: Now listen, since you were late getting me your birthday list, and yesterday was hell and today was a holiday, I'm only going to have tomorrow to go shopping for your birthday, so things may not be as exciting as I was planning.

Me: What's wrong with shopping on Thursday?

Him: Well, you'll want something on Thursday morning, won't you? And then you'd want to do presents rather than have me go late-night shopping.

Me (testily): For my birthday that falls on Friday?

Him: Ah. Friday. Not Thursday, then.

Me: How long have we been together?

Him. Thirteen years. Fourteen? Is it fifteen? You do a really good outraged face, you know!


NB: You lot are all quite allowed to forget my birthday, because god knows I am shocking at keeping up to date with my flist's (and at my age, it does not hurt people to forget a few years have passed), but he and I have been together since 1995! Grrrrr!

On a related note, ayes_sid  for yesterday and to separatrix  for tomorrow! I am sending you great gift and relaxed Cake Day wishes!

I had to ask the date of our wedding anniversary, and our marriage contract hangs in the middle of our living room. (It's a very pretty one, so I tend to look at the artwork on it. It's been nine years but I'm still impressed with the shiny.)

Mr B is vaguely aware that we have an anniversary, but says that he is grateful for me every day and so a dinner and gift would be redundant. I have pointed out that he is ever so lucky I am the sort of woman who doesn't need dinner and gifts. Except on my birthday ;-)
