I Can't Believe How Lucky I Am Sometimes.

[NoMercy]

My husband and I have been redecorating so he's repainted the whole house, re-grouted all around the shower and even repainted the bathroom cabinets. He's put up new wallpaper here and there and we've bought new lighting for the downstairs, which he will install himself. He did a brilliant job a couple of months ago when we redecorated the master bedroom. He keeps the garden in immaculate condition all year round. When he's not decorating or gardening, he's sandblasting the drive or valeting the cars.

He would strive endlessly to make our home perfect, not only for us, but for the baby when he / she arrives.

I've left him at home today putting all the internal doors back in place, finishing the bathroom and he's even been left in charge of putting the meat in the oven and roasting the par-boiled potatoes (although I did all the groundwork for dinner last night).

I know that if he had any spare time left over, he'd iron all my clothes and put them back in the wardrobe.

He gets on my nerves at times, but I wouldn't be without him.

You are right to be so glad. Dear Mr. J2 fumes now when almost all the jobs he use to do without thinking about them now present - and, some, he can no longer achieve. He does iron all my clothes as well as his, however, and I've had to fight to stop him ironing my kickers.

Don't tell him (we're having a disagreement at the moment) but I wouldn't be without him either :)

Ah, but have you seen him confronted with slow internet or when he's a bit poorly (the kids have been braving the sniffles and sore throats all week but this morning himself announced that he had 'a terrible case of strep throat' (bloody drama queen)) that'll show his mettle.
