Other Halfs

Lol Rat, we're just lucky I recon! I think both of us had given up on ever meeting someone to share our lives with, and marriage was one of those things that I'd really given up on ever happening, but when we met it was like finding the missing half of myself! We are sooo well suited we can finish each others sentences, and I love him more than anything in the world, we're just mad about each other, enjoy every day and communicate really well, fun is something we have every day, even when we are busy we are messing around! Go shopping and I'll be pinching his bottom, and have been known to lift his feet up (to tip him in) when he reached into a freezer for something at the back in Tesco's once! I think we dont care what others think, we just enjoy ourselves and have a laugh!

Guess we are just big kids really, sad but very much fun!

Yup I recognise that, although if we behave like that with Miss EB in tow we get told off as we are "being silly, and it's not funny".

We came to some sort of agreement about the lottie last night.
Madderbat willsow the seeds & other light work.
I will do the digging & planting (potatoes onions ect).
This may......may stop the "ding dongs".

Mr D and I share the workload, he works 3 days a week (and he does housework too)! and we have never had an argument.

Mrs D: can you clone him? then put im on the Seed Swap!

Lol, no chance, he's one of a kind!

Lol, EB! Sounds like you have as much fun as we do! Miss EB sounds fun too, telling her parents off for being silly! Sounds like she's got a good head on her shoulders!

Mrs D, we enjoy our ding dongs, and they are never really serious. We too found each other a few years ago, and yes, it is like having 't'other 'arf' around, just that sometimes his half gets out of synch and he needs pea-sticking!!

we both know how lucky we are though. I've just never tried to shove him in Tescos freezer !!

Oooh, its fun MB, you want to try it, such a giggle! Tho you will probably get some snotty looks from some of the other shoppers, the ones who dont know how to enjoy themselves! Lol!

But only with the frozen turkeys!

My OH does the mowing, strimming, occasional weeding and most of the hedge trimming. He would probably help me with the digging and will do DIY jobs for me if I ask (recently assembled my coldframe for example). He happily helps me harvest stuff, but only if I ask. But the best bit about him as far as the garden is concerned, is that he really appreciates all the work that goes in and loves to eat the food I produce.
He wouldn't be at all interested in sowing seeds or pricking out and the likes; he is far too impatient and would be even worse than me when the seedlings get eaten/frozen/frazzled by sun etc.

I try to be out in the garden doing my jobs when he's out doing his garden jobs or painting window frames etc. It's nice to be able to say hi as you pass, and there's a sense of being together even if you're not actually together, if you see what I mean!

Oiii!! I do much more than that, and besides, it already made in the flask! Cheeky Sod, be careful otherwise I'll borrow LJ's pea stick!!

[WiZeR]

maybe we should setup a dating service for like minded lone gardeners?

[bramble]

My OH thinks he's a gardener. He always wants to be involved, and thinks he knows better than me.
To be honest, he has'nt got the patience to be a gardener. He runs at it and thinks it all should be finished in a few hours. He knows by now to leave me to it myself.

My OH does the muck, and I do the magic. Well that's how he sees it.

[NOG]

Mr D and I both share the plot and the workload, tho he only works 3 days a week (but does 13 hour shifts), so he does spend more time down there (and he does housework too)!.

I would live a parttime job like that. Imagine only working 36 hours a week.

Just about sums me up but I am good at the heavy work

My hubby Steve & I 'found each other' 16yrs ago and gardening (now veggie growing) has seen us through some really dreadful low points in our lives. Fortunately, we've always had each other and normally we are so close we're like twins! I say normally because anyone who overhears us in the garden would have a completely different impression - something comes over him and he bickers all the time. No matter what I suggest, he's always got a 'better/quicker/cheaper/easier' way of doing it, which is a bit rich since I'm the one who does all the research!
Nowadays, I have some mobility probs so we do everything together and I try to do my share as much as poss given that I have bad days & good days. I do all the planning, setting, pricking out etc Steve does most of the setting (although hopefully that will change now we are starting the raised beds) and he has to do all the thinning because I simply can't bear to make a choice about which seedling will live and which will die - crazy huh?!
Amazingly, I am the one with the green fingers despite being brought up in the urban concrete jungle and he doesn't have a clue despite being brought up in the country on a farm!
Talking of messing about in the supermarket, he is dreadful! He scoots around on the trolly, chats to EVERYONE whether they like it or not, 'tastes' all the sweets before deciding not to but any of them, and makes 'rude' comments to little old ladies (making their eyes sparkle!) Mind you, if he gets too uppity I have to remind him about the day I had to help him out of the freezer when he fell in headfirst after a turkey!!

LOL. Jan, Bramble, thank you both so much! I am glad it's not just us, and even BW recognises himself in what you've written. It helps to know I'm not completely alone on the wrong planet
