| When we met |
TEN YEARS ago today, in a little back garden behind a big house in London, Nick and I kissed for the first time. And then he ran away. Literally hurdled a brick wall in his haste.
Though his version is a little (completely) different.
Either way, we’ve been together ten years today. Despite being clearly and most blatantly not suitable.
In any way.
There is a series of blog posts happening around the internet at the moment where people interview their significant other. They’re quite worth a read purely because people’s lives are interesting. Check out the interviews by Emily, Kylie, and Renee if you want to see people doing it properly. See, I thought I’d do the same. But without actually interviewing him.
Because I totally know how it will go because I’m brilliant like that.
So let’s start.
So Nick, how are you today?
*Good thanks, yep, good.
If I asked for life advice right now, what do you think you would say?
*You’re amazing. And you should blog about sweet potatoes. People love sweet potatoes.
Nick, you’re so frustrating – a serious answer please.

*What? People love sweet potatoes. I think it could be the answer to everything. In fact, I think you’d be famous already if you wrote more about sweet potatoes.
NICK!!!!!!
*Okay okay, just keep doing what you’re doing. You’re great. You really are Alipops. Completely awesome.
Sigh. Fine. What was the best bit about your day?
*All the bits I spent with you.
NICK!
*What? A man’s not allowed to be nice to his wife now? A fine state of affairs! Did you hear that girls? Mum’s cranky because I like spending time with her.
NICCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK! FFS. Why are we still married?
*Because I’m funny. And you love talking with me. And we love each other. And you think I have a cute bum.
You are the most exasperating man on the planet – you know that don’t you?
*You used to love me – sticks bottom lip out. Do you hear that girls? Am I exasperating?
(Girls are thrilled to yell NO NO NO NO. You are SO BUNNY DADDY. Traitors.)
I DO LOVE YOU. I just wish you would not be sooooo…. ARGH! ANNOYING.
*Wine my darling?

| My beautiful man xxxx |
(This is where I hurl myself into the couch thinking that if I had known how annoying he was I WOULD NEVER have fallen in love with him. Let alone stayed in love with him. Honestly, is there a more frustrating man on the planet? How the hell are we going to spend happily ever after together when he’s just sooooooo GRRRRRRRRRR. Bloody man. SO ANNOYING)
*Here’s your wine Alipops. Now move over, let me sit down too.
I move. Begrudgingly because he’s annoying. And we sit there, snuggled, watching our daughters do something that would make their grandmothers twitchy.
And we are happy. Happy 10 years beautiful man.
Come and follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – because you’re lovely like that
