Me too Wild G lol

am not sure it would work with animals Puss. ( and the mind boggles if you could )

I was hoping to hypnotize the oh to get a round tuit....If that fails I may try the bank and convince them to hand over all the money.

Susan with numbers:

If you can get it to work on your OH, let me know and I'll buy the recipe LOL

My dear one looks at a potential job and says 'Hmm...yes, I know what to do here' and returns to his armchair and Startrek.

I must have the worst maintained house in the street and he's a architect!! :-( Wish I'd married the builder!

Handy? How? I love him to bits; been married to him since 1972 (or is that 1872?) but a handyman he is not, bless his cotton socks.

I have red, work roughened hands from decorating, gardening and housework. He has hands that look as though he's never done a day's work in his life! It's all stress with him, though, so it's not all good, that job!

Margot; Happy Anniversary and Daff; Happy Belated Anniversary!

Our 38th wedding anniversary is on the 2nd September. It was a beautiful sunny day; I was 18(!) years old and the vicar and the verger were right miseries! We had a lovely day, though, and we honeymooned in sunny Bacton in Norfolk. We paid £14 for a chalet and we had about £15 to spend all week!

Mine was April 1st, lolol... I was 17, we went to London.. 8 guineas a night.. for two nights. Those were the days, lolol I look at the photos now, and we looked like babies, lol.

Oh,and I believe the Canon who married us went on to murder his wife, lolol Electrocuted her in the bath!

But I could be wrong....

Love

Daff xxxx

ps... thank you, Goosie... and hope yours is a wonderful day, too..... Happy anniversary Margot xxx

Daff,thank you.I hope that you had a lovely anniversary also.

Wildgoose-thank you also.I hope that you have a wonderful anniversary when it comes around in September.

My wedding went off quite smoothly,but the reception and honeymoon were a different matter.The reception went well until the woman who was acting as the hostess presented my father with the bill for payment of the night.It was just after 10pm,and Dad was half way through his dessert.She insisted on payment there and then,and said that everyone would have to leave immediately.My father should have protested,and told her where to go,and how to get there,as it was not in the agreement,
to cut the evening short.(Apparently she had word from home that her child was sick,so she wanted everyone out, so that she could go home.)
Dad paid up,the music stopped,the lights and the heating were turned off.

Our guests thought it was strange that we all had to go home so early, but no-one made a fuss.Everyone went home.

That was bad enough,but worse was to come on the honeymoon.We spent the first night in a motel in Melbourne,with me cowering under the blankets,listening to the sounds of drunken revellers walking past our unit,
making ribald comments about the number of honeymooning couples in the rooms, and banging on the doors of their units.Apparently some of the cars still had the tin cans and "Just Married" signs still attached to their bumperbars,although ours didn't ,luckily.
The next few days,we made our way up to Eden,New South Wales,where we had a motel room booked.We spent a day looking around Eden.

The next day,my new OH announced with a gleam in his eye that he wanted to go for a long drive,(but didn't say where to,)and that he wanted an early start. To cut a long story short,we drove to Sydney,where we saw his relatives,and after tea,as it was getting late,they asked us to stay the night.I said no,as I had no change of clothing etc,and we hadn't let the motel know that we would be away.So we began the long drive back to Eden.I was asleep,when I was awoken by a gigantic bang.OH had fallen asleep at the wheel on a narrow,winding road in the Blue Mountains.It was
3.30 in the morning.The car had veered to the right,and a solid white
square post had stopped our car.It was embedded in our right headlight.
I looked at my pride and joy,my little 1971 bright yellow Corolla.I remember jumping up and down on the road in sheer rage and frustration,and screaming at OH, "How could you??" It was only after that I realised what a lucky escape we had had.If the car had veered the opposite way,we would have rolled down a steep mountainside with no barriers to stop us.We would have been killed for sure!

We managed to wave down the next car which came past-(not very many,
at that time of the morning,out in the middle of nowhere)-and they called the NRMA,which despatched a towtruck which towed the car back to Narooma,the closest nearby town.It was too late to get a motel room,so we spent the rest of the night sleeping in the car-very uncomfortable!
Luckily I had full comprehensive insurance,so we made arrangements for the car to be repaired in Narooma.OH's brother,and my BIL,came up and got us,and took us home back to Melb.OH and my BIL came and picked up the car after it was repaired,and drove back to Melb.So our honeymoon was cut short.
Not a very auspicious start to a marriage,but we are still together 38 years later.

Susan with numbers-sorry,I have got right off the topic of your thread. I have had only one encounter with a hypnotist,but it wasn't successful.She tried very hard,but I just couldn't be hypnotised...
